Junior Season Cards 50% increase

[Eds]

DW7 if I knew what the question was I would answer it?

People are still missing the point. It doesnt matter what the starting point is for a ticket, it's the 100% increase. If your season ticket cost you £500 last year and this year it was going to be £1000 I think you might moan.

thats garry cook for you.
its going to get worse season on season one thinks
from now on

So that works out at £10 a game for a kid to watch premiership football,good value i think.

 

[inbetween]

I think its a bit worst for us who haven't got the time to get to every game and have to fork out 30-40 quid a pop and sit in 'whatever is left' put simply it could be worst.

Season tickets broken down on a game by game basis are ridiculously cheap when compared to those who go to 'every other game' like me.. Which is why i'll be buying a season ticket this year, i won't be able to make EVERY game because of work but i'll be at most.

Don't really care where i sit either i'm desperate to go to as many games as possible this year because at the end i want to be there and see Toure lift that title.

the question is

would you prefer to sit with you "friends" or move to the north stand and make your kids happy ?

I really do not want to upset anyone, especially not a fellow Blue but that is one of the weakest complaints I have read for a while.

There will always be those disappointed by changes like these but is it not worth making new friends for you and the kids at the cheap price?

Well no it's not to be honest. For a start I don't really go to the match to 'make friends'.

The thing is I've sat in the same seats since moving to COMS, and before that I had the same seats in roughly the same area of the Kippax (I even stood in same area of the Kippax fir years before that) I've always hated watching football from an 'end'.
Along with all that me and my son sit with a large group of freinds, my dad and my lads grandad. Now I find I'll have to pay double for my sons ticket or move. That's not an incentive, it's a stick.

Also, given my lad is 13, if I was to move to the North stand I'll have to move again when he turns 16 to somewhere else in the ground. So even though I've sat with the same group for years, me and my lad will have to move and will never get our current seats back.
And why should I be forced to move and split our group? That's what watching City was all about, meeting your mates and so on.
I just don't think they've thought this one through, either that or they don't give a shit about my 'matchday experience', the same one I've been enjoying for years. Will you be as flippant when they double the price of your season ticket fbloke?<br /><br />-- Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:56 pm --<br /><br />

My 13 yr old kid is perfectly happy sat with our friends in the East stand, it's just that Garry Cook thinks it's a good idea to double his ticket price. Has anybody even though about the kids that don't want to move to the North Stand as well?

Think you're confusing me with someone else, I only mentioned one kid. But if I had two kids at the match I'd still have to move and so would they. Like I said, my kid doesn't even want to move to the bloody north stand, so he won't be happy anyway!!

It stinks, and if you was in the same boat you'd smell it too.
