Exclusive: Manchester City bid to gatecrash world elite

[Ardwick Green Blue]

There seems to be an anti-Family Stand faction on here. I am in the upper tier with my son and generally all seasoncard holders around us turn up for every game but some with younger kids miss midweek games or don't bring the kids due to the late finish and school the following day. These are the fans we will need to further build up the club.

Don't worry it is well known that people buy cheap tickets in the family stand and walk all the way around to the south stand area and go and stand with their mates. Easy way to prevent this from happening is not allow the opportunity to walk all the way around the stadium.
To be honest family section should be made more secure anyway. If blokes are going into the toilets pretending to have a cig but really just cock watching would you want them near your children.

Clearly a load of shite. Cant sell out the Etihad even though you can count the non sellouts on one hand from this season

Eh? We have sold out every league game for two years.

Exactly my point Dortmund, Ajax, Aston Villa CC.

Eh? We have sold out every league game for two years.

And every FA Cup match.

The only matches not to sell out were the League Cup matches and two or three Champions League matches. In the latter case it was partially down to security arrangements that stopped some from buying tickets for the Napoli match for example.

Maybe they are including hospitality packages as well, not just the normal seats. These seem to always be available

'City are not currently selling out the Etihad'' ..... rags full to the brim fifty year waiting list blah blah blah

the usual ill informed bollox

Are we really bothered about a few hundred empty seats? Viagogo in my opinion has not worked. Perhaps the club should give fans the chance to offer their seat back and if its taken receive a credit which could be offset in a future game. I don't think there can be any doubt that of the club were to expand they wouldn't get the bums on seats for most games. The key is success on the pitch and making the club accessible to kids and families.
As for the people from Stretford and their obsession lets leave them rocking in their chairs worrying about that and a whole host of other things!
