I completely agree with you, but our fans don't protest, as I found out to my cost with the Charity Shield. And of course, what became blatantly apparent was that even if every loyal legacy fan said enough is enough, then there are now tens of thousands ready to step up and take their place! In short, non seasoncard holders are now screwed with regards to watching City consistently.
However shit the football might have been in the 70s/80s, don't tell me that every legacy member struggling to buy a single match ticket today, wouldn't readily go back to paying cash at a turnstile at Maine Road on a Saturday at 3pm.
