I currently pay £665 in CB L1. I am pretty sure that the over 65 rate is @ £335 or thereabouts. Near enough half price as far as I am concerned.Don't get too excited. This is my first season at FOC rate but it is a bit more than half price :)
Will be renewing at the bargain price of £260 plus the inevitable price increase in SS3.
+1 for the above.... Exactly how I feelAmbivalent about renewing SC. Mainly due to the farce and corruption of VAR. Also not happy that longstanding blues are increasingly taken for granted year on year in stumping up hard earned cash with price increases with all but one price freeze since the takeover.
The club say they want and need us yet we have been made to feel like pawns on a chessboard as the club clearly think more of corporate and new fans. Not the same club nowadays. Only two things remain from Maine road, our sky blue shirt colour and us supporters that remember the good times bad times and present good times.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as proud a blue as anyone and I will never divorce City. I love most of what has happened since the takeover.
Personally speaking though I feel as my support of almost 50 years like it means less to the club than the club means to me. Corporate and padded heated seats, where if you try and get up to try spark a song going, and you feel as though you're frowned upon and looked at in disdain for breaching the football peace!
Perhaps I should just stop going and stop moaning. But City passion is within every pore of my skin.
Difficult decision is looming for me.
it must be a real pisser for you having to travel for these stupid kick off times-I don't like them and I'm only 5 miles from the ground-don't think I could put up with it but good on youTwo things made me consider renewing.
The first is the way that VAR has operated. This is sucking the life blood out of the game. Watching Championship matches and Scottish Premiership or Scottish Cup matches is so refreshing when you can celebrate a goal without having to wait five minutes for the clowns to make a call.
The second has been the number of 17:30 kickoffs this season. I can cope with 12:30 or 15:00 kickoffs on Saturday and 14:00 and 16:30 on Sunday without an overnight stop. City had something like five or six late Saturday kickoffs in a row.
The season ticket price is not an issue for me. An extra £15 or £20 is nothing compared to around £100 for an overnight stop including meals. We will probably make more use if the ticket exchange if this pattern of kickoffs continues.
We will certainly be renewing for next season but nothing is guaranteed beyond that.
