I have found all but a couple of games in the Prem at home this season dull due to the way teams set up. If I had paid £50 plus for that crap today I would have been disappointed.It needs an organized group like a supporters trust to raiseteh question and we don't have one so it will never be addressed. I doubt dippers or rags would stand for the prices we charge. Thing is we already have an aging fan base and if we're not careful we'll price out the next generation. You would think that with the fantastic football we're playing the atmosphere should be rocking and games sold out weeks ago or is actually that very style of tippy tappy passing possession controlled football (which I love by the way) that is actually killing the atmosphere. Who knows ? but what I do know is we need take care of our next generation of fans and give them sensible ticket prices so that they can attend games on a regular basis to build a love and a sense of loyalty to the club.
What did you do?I just checked the thread name again but it's all about attendance numbers or ticket prices. Says it all really...
I know I don't have the right to criticize Blues in the ground and I also know why our home support is what it is, but 1 thing I'd like to mention:
I find it truly sad that away fans can booo one of our players in sky blue several times and the home crowd doesn't silence them by a loud
"We luv Jack Grealish, we do..." or whatever. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
That's poor and should be different from now on.
In a match where we were permanently shafted by refs and opponent we didn't support our team in voice when it was so easy. I don't get it.
If the ground was half empty, we'd probably be in division one. Won't happen again in my lifetime, not a chance.
As for mass protest... This is 2021 not 1964. You'd have to be a great thrower to smash a window at the Etihad. You'd be lucky to get 500 people to actually protest, and the club would probably charge them £10 each to get past the security fence.
Neither are at all likely to happen. High prices are here to stay.
I don't get it, people moaning about the prices,but we sold 52,000, the problem is people not turning up for whatever reason,when the away team do not sell the top tier it is nearly always taken up by city fans, so there is fans wanting to come.
Yh I'm in the South Stand worst it's been all season today not many seemed bothered hopefully Leeds is a massive improvementWere the South Stand and SE corner on strike today. Pathetic vocal support all well done to everyone who went today. I was packed on a train like a sardine thinking should I be doing this.
