IMO, It’s not an own goal by the club. It’s an own goal by those in our support, who think it appropriate to throw shit at players on the pitch, that made it almost inevitable that steps would be taken to reduce a repeat of such ridiculous childish behaviour.
Maybe a couple of dozen pissed up arsewipes amongst our support have spoilt a great day out for 6,000 other of our supporters and there’s nowhere else for the blame to reside.
Away criteria up on the website now. The prices are cheaper than expected - £28/£29/£35 for adults - but that's probably because neither club is confident of selling out the home areas - and would expect home tickets to be priced similarly as surely City have agreed to charge United fans around the same as those prices for us at theirs. It doesn't alter the fact that both sets of fans have been stitched up on the allocation though!
Only for PL games.Low prices to stem the abuse the clubs are getting imo.
Usually says on the criteria that there is amount of tickets available to u25s but not on this one???
It will be annoying if they give us 3000 and we give them 3000.
"Manchester City and Manchester United have reached a reciprocal agreement under which the away fans in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final will receive the usual allocations given in Premier League matches.
This agreement was made because neither club gives much of a toss about their core support, so much so that we couldn't even be arsed consulting with fan groups prior to making the decision, and to top it all off we decided to make the announcement on Christmas Eve as we thought it would be a "good day to bury bad news"
Further ticketing information from Manchester City will be issued in due course." Statement from City website.

It was a home fan who made the alleged monkey gesture though. It was home fans who chucked stuff at Fred.It has been a bad season for racism in the English game.
So maybe the clubs just decided it wasn't worth the hassle of more away fans.
*laughing out loud*....................... thank you M18CTID I know that, even though I won't go that place, I am annoyed for the people who never get a chance to go there and won't get one this time either. I've spoken to quite a few fans who were looking forward to hopefully be able to go to this one.Very angry for them.Fixed that for you EB ;)
Cheers, at least they're not getting a higher percentage than us I guess."Manchester City and Manchester United have reached a reciprocal agreement under which the away fans in both legs of the Carabao Cup semi-final will receive the usual allocations given in Premier League matches.
This agreement was made in the interests of safety for all supporters.
