Obviously their ready made reply to our question.Sports options now probably not an option:-
Dear City Fan ,
Many thanks for your interest in a possible trip to the playoff game second Leg in Madrid .
To be honest we have had very limited interest in this. Reasons for this are likely because of the multiple number of times we have played in Madrid in recent consecutive seasons ... mostly Real but also Athletico . Police treatment of visiting fans and that certainly puts some off . The fact that this playoff will be the 5th away tie this season and if City go through... there could be a last sixteen just two weeks later ... then also quarters onwards with even another trip to Athletico possible .. all in the space of 12 weeks. Couple this with potential visits to Wembley and it's easy to see why some people may drop this one out.
We will still monitor the situation and should the first leg leave the tie very much in the balance we may still offer a last minute trip if there is a surge of interest. . .. we are aware of quite a few who are thinking this way.
Anyway for the moment we are sadly not offering a flight but will continue to monitor the viability of doing one .
Wishing you all the best for the first leg and hopefully at least we may get to offer a last 16 trip..
Kind regards
