Will do a seat counter check in a minute. We are in danger of going off topic. Lets stick to what matters.

I don't buy in to the media agenda stuff at all. I don't think there is some dark conspiracy by the media to bring City down. However, I think this article is a sad indictment on how the media now operates in this country.

For hundreds of years the newspapers job was to report the news, the truth. It's the basis of a democratic country to have a free press, something to be proud of. Of course there has always been spin and negative slants to generate headlines, but in the past people were reliant on national newspapers to keep informed of what is going on in the world.

In the modern digital age with 24 hour news cycles and social media, the importance and influence of the national press is becoming less and less. Papers like the Mirror have become nothing more than a home page for links to a collection of Internet meme's now.

There was a story on there the other week with a video that had gone viral about an idiot that had filmed himself almost drowning a new born baby by holding his head under a tap. 20 years ago the slant of the article would have been that the idiot needs locking up. But in a desperate plea for clicks and therefore revenue, they actually put the video on their site.

There are other similar examples almost every day. The national newspaper model is no longer commercially viable, so there are no depths to which they won't plunge to get clicks and keep themselves in business.

Slating City for unsold tickets despite the fact we'll have the highest attendance of the season in the Capital One Cup is another example of a desperate attempt to generate clicks. I'm sure it will play very well with their core market of Scousers and United fans, I'm sure clicks will be through the roof. But it's not news.

I hope Mr Mcdonnell in the quiestest moment of his day has a little think to himself to consider if articles like this one are what he thought he'd be writing when he trained to become a journalist.

I wouldn't hold your breath mate, its the reason fans up and down the country call it the emptyhad because of fucking shit journalists like him, that fat **** Mike Parry commented on it this morning saying Sergio pleading for fans to buy tickets-whilst his fucking shit football club didn't sell out and that's after not playing in a cup final for twenty years.

There are rafts of empty seats at every match at Old Trafford these days but its never ever reported on.

I wouldn't wipe my arse on the Mirror-or the MEN for that matter.

Yeah it's been shit, only 3 clean sheets in the last 4 games.

If everyone's going to be like you tonight there's going to be people fighting with thier reflection in the toliets

Taken from a Everton forum -

I got tickets in the home end next to the everton fans! last night got an email saying they where cancelled due to my L postcode. I have sourced other ones now but just a heads up!

I know club are taking action over l post codes but not holding my breath about the purchase history or citizens membership, surely they should filter this out at point of purchase rather then having to cancel tickets already printed out...

Just a thought if there letting people print out there tickets and cancelling them after , I'm guessing there will be plenty of touts with canceled tickets around tomorrow selling on to unsuspecting Everton / city fans

I take your point but you wont be involved in the trouble - no one is going to start on you with kids around. Sure this is all a bit dramatic and it wont be as bad as people are saying. Most will keep quiet and they might not even score.

Didn't stop the scouse cunts in the early 80s when about a hundred of the fuckers kicked off in the platt lane next to the family section.

Remember going to Everton v City many times and it being no where near full.

It's one thing putting in a false address but they will have had to pay using a debit or credit card, which should be linked to a registered address. If the registered address doesn't match the address entered, and is in a Liverpool postcode, then I would hope that the purchase would be cancelled. When I buy tickets on the City website, I have to put in my house number and postcode and so does everyone else. I assume City use a third party service to process the payments but would hope that this simple and basic anti-fraud check would be in place.

What on earth are you going on about.

I am not going to be worried - in nearly 700 games watching City I have yet to be twatted or feel in any sense of real danger.

This is different than a few Germans on a jolly..we don't get on with Everton at the best of times..I'm telling you now it will go off

Agree. Hope I'm wrong but can see trouble occurring in the ground tonight. Everton fans ,being Scousers, will find it impossible to keep their mouths shut whilst in the City end. I think the only way there won't be clashes is if City go a couple of goals up.
