How many games a season do you do?

[JGL07]

It will be 30 mins walk to park almost 2 miles away for most, it will end up the other side of Oldham Road most likely, pushing the issues further away.

Someone on a earlier thread said "aren't they building a new multi-storey" completely not getting the point. 90% of people avoid official close car parks like the plague, you pay for a massive delay, and a multi-storey costing £15 for a 90 mins delay holding 1000 cars when 5000 spaces are lost does nothing to mitigate the issues for those who currently park 6 - 9 furlongs away, with a 1 mile exclusion as the crow flies meaning 1.5 miles and then only if you are 90mins early.

I think when it does come in people either find a way to make it work or pack in the next season. This will be the end for a few thousand in terms of season tickets.

That all sounds a load of bullshit to me. Those who pack in over that issue were probably going to anyway

I don't often travel by car, but of I do, I park at Ashton Moss park-and-ride and get the tram to the ground.

All home games except CL group stages and some Carabou. So 22/23 games, something like that.

The proposals aren’t bullshit. There are quite a lot of people parking up north of the stadium who would be affected. It’s usually a decent getaway after the game but if it’s going to add 30mins or more to travel/walk, it will be a right pain for many and I’m not sure the public transport system needs more passengers in its current state. I suppose until it’s confirmed and we see if there are any improvements to buses/trams to help we just don’t know, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.

About 40 games this season. I’ve missed 1 home game in the last 15 years (to see the RL Challenge Cup Final).

As well our home games, I’ve been to 3 Prem
Aways, the Community Shield, Saturday’s semi final and seen our Women’s and PL2 teams play. I’ve also been given a free ticket to watch Ledds Utd 3 or 4 times.

About 4 years ago I stopped trying to get to aways that I didn’t have enough points for. Previously I’d used the odd ticket obtained through the OSC or from a legend on this forum, that I will always be grateful for. My points were getting me to the vast majority of games anyway and I don’t begrudge anyone using whatever contacts they have to get a ticket. I’m glad that we are getting a younger crowd at Aways this season.

Saturday was my 13th game of the season.

I don’t think that’s bad for someone who is relatively new and actually supports another club.

I started with champions league games then I got the big. Since then my daughter (6 yo) has been twice too and loves it.

I go to zero games now, got better/more important things to spend my money on.

If you take older people or kids you would struggle. Public transport adds over a couple of hours on each way, making a match go from a 4.5 hour day out to a 9 hour one, and also works out about 5 times more expensive.

The park and ride will be shut for 2/3 years along with the entire tram line to the stadium under the current Bill.

None anymore.

I was home and away from the late 80’s right up to 2007 and then held a season ticket for the 2012/13 season after coming back to the UK but my life had moved on and I didn’t miss the match day experience.

I will always will our club but if I never see us live again then so be it.

Wow!

 

[give it to gordon]

Around 10 to 15 at the Etihad and 2 or 3 away games that are near like Brighton, Southampton, Norwich

Things might have to change next season due to the cost of living

Getting away from the Etihad doesnt bother us what's another hour ! We aim for a 6hrs after the game to get home any sooner is a bonus !

 

[TINY]

Probably around 25 on average I reckon. Depending on wembley trips.
