There was prior notice this would be the way it is, but giving prior notice of a bad policy doesn't make it a good policy.
It's not a direct debit scheme. I've got a credit card registered against it so the money is always there and I just pay it off the card when I get paid.
And if you don't have a credit card?

Anything left at the end of the season is my holiday spending money. Not for everyone, but a different way of saving up for your ST and spreading the costs.

When United brought the scheme in 90% of Blues on here posted about them mugging off their own fans and forcing them to sign up. Soon as it happens to us were slating Blues for not joining.
I've got tickets for the semi and final both times so I'm O.K but I wont be telling others who have outside commitments that they should sign up for something they aren't sure they can afford.
Amazes me how arrogant a small percentage of our fans have become.
United's scheme is compulsory, City's isn't, that's not the same thing. You have the rules in front of you and you make a choice whether it suits you or not to join.
What's then hard to take is people complaining now about it when it's been in place for 3/4 years and it only becomes an issue for the semis and final.
Remember it was brought in as City decided they had to do something about the poor cup attendances and however you look at it, that has worked
Didnt City say they would only charge so much for early rounds for people on the cup scheme?

Edited it for you
Edited it correctly for you. I still went to all the games but I bought them as and when I could afford it.

Everyone has a right to choose where they sit and others who were ahead in the queue decided to buy 'cheaper' tickets. Nothing wrong with that.
Didn't those pigs stop that in the end?
