have to agree....c'mon Ricster, if they shut blocks 110 & 111, then suddenly said by the way its level 2 or up in the gods for you...ohh, and by the way we want an extra £100 off you for the privelage....you, me and many others would be up in arms
At first i would, but we have to look at the bigger picture, which i have tried to explain in a couple of posts in this thread already. City are thinking about the future of this club, and quite rightly so. If we want the huge fan base in years to come so we can be self sufficiant then aiming our audience towards youngsters is the only way to guarentee it.
I do feel sorry for them, but after 24 hrs its starting to wear thin. What about the slagging some of the clubs officials are taking? I feel sorry for them more than our fans. Some of the comments i've read this morning, and there are a few, especially in that Garry Cook thread are a fucking disgrace.
Maybe if some supported the club, the club might support them.
Its not just the moaning about the move or ticket prices either.
We've had moaning about the 2 shirts for £20 offer thats on. The reason i buy the shirts, isn't cos the price is cheap, its because i want them as soon as i can get them.
Why shouldn't the club sell them off? Is it not better that the club tries to get rid of them rather than be left with dead stock? It's another attitude by the fans of we're getting fucked over. Why do they have that attitude? Cos Sheikh Mansour is loaded thats why. They think cos he has all that cash that we shouldn't pay over the odds for stuff.
Well im sorry, i've had enough. If our fans think watching City challenge for 4th this season and a possible crack at the title next season with the likes of Gerrard and Torres in our team, and doesn't deserve a slight price hike then dont renew. Its that simple.
Thing is, me and liamctid had a bit of a set to last season over the RSC deal. I said i'd never be back even though i'd bought my season ticket. Yep, i missed the first 4 home games, but i was back and so will every other one that says they wont.
Its the mentality thats pissing me off Shady, and i can now see where liam was coming from last season, when he said "City don't need fans like you" to me. I got my arse into gear, and its about time these lot did too.
We are no longer lil ol' ciddy. We're not even noisy neighbours. We've proved this season we can mix at times with the big boys, and we'll prove it even more in the future, but there is no point in having a future without a future fanbase.
Maybe if the NS had made some noise rather than just sit there and clap everytime we score a goal, they wouldn't have been moved and it might have been a part of the ES, or CB. All this what would happen if it was 111/110, or the SS being seperated. Ain't going to happen as the club knows that those 2 area's being split would be detremental to the team cos of the atmosphere.
Harsh i know shady, but very, very true.
