Maybe local fans are being priced out as the clubs knows they can make more selling tickets to wealthier fans who travel, it can't be cheap flying in from Ireland every week.
As they say in Belfast, catch yerself on. So Irish fans are to blame because ticket prices have risen? COme on, give us a break.

Cannot believe that what started as a thread designed to highlight the media nonsense and unprofessionalism of certain journalists has descended into racist bigotry and questioning of fans reasons for supporting City.
We are bound to attract new fans and lapsed fans given that we are in the ascendancy. There is absolutley nothing wrong with that. Just because, like me you suffered the ups and mainly downs of the last 30 years or so does not automatically entitle you to occupy the moral high ground.
Our sense of unity, community, wit and deadpan humor is what differentiates us from other clubs particularly the rags. So please think carefully before posting moronic holier than thou opinions and racist idiocy.

This is a pretty good and amusing article. It's actually complimentary to City, really. I'm surprised they printed it with the word in the article, but there you go.
All he is really saying is 'can City win things with a bunch of players everyone seems to hate', and by extension 'everyone seems to hate these players because they know they are good'.

Chill, Blue brothers and sisters. Don't fall for the 'divide and conquer' tactics of the media.
And don't led the words of a single, attention-seeking nob jockey with an obvious Oedipus complex and an anti-City agenda sully the reputation of some of the finest people — and finest Blues — on the planet, whether they are flying in from Cork and Dublin for the occasional home game, or the second and third generation Irish Manc-born likes of myself and my family, the Gallaghers, Mark Riley, most of where I went to school, work etc.
If you think it has been hard being a Blue in Manchester over the last 30 years or so, then imagine being a Blue in Ireland! Jesus, these guys deserve utmost respect, not sectarian insults and complete shite about raising ticket prices.
Let's not let this turn into an Ulster hate-fest like some of the City v Celtic threads. Let's just remember to remind Mr Fannyfeatures of his words when, and I mean when, we do win something.
Our trophy will probably be a lot f****ing sooner coming than his Pulitzer

Makes me laugh that some jumped up little shite who joined the forum in Jan 2009 is making sure there are no glory hunters joining!
Dion Fanning is a twat, but you are not that far off.
Since when did the date one joined a forum have any relation to the date they started supporting City?
Do not get me wrong, Ric has done a fine job, but my support for City is just that. For City. Not for the Bluemoon forum (though I did put in for the banner and Ric can confirm that)
