It is indeed a balanced and fair take. Just like the 1894 statement that was made yesterday, yet you had a massive problem with that for some bizarre fucking reason. Oh, and now that it has been revealed that the club only plan to release Flexi Gold season tickets in the new stand would you care to comment on that or do you still think 1894 are a bunch of moaning twats?
I guessed you were, but just for those who didn’t know ;-)
If you go to all 19 games you pay £150 extra and can't transfer or list your ticket but you can choose not to go to all games.Sorry for asking something that may be in an earlier part of the thread,but can someone explain how a flexi gold season ticket differs from a standard 19 league game season ticket ?
I sometimes wonder what City have to do right. They are up there with Real Madrid as one of the best and most successful football clubs in the World, invested millions to regenerate a run down part of east Manchester, created the best academy in the World and building new facilities which will be the envy of most other clubs in the World, yet most of the fans seem to prefer to slag the club off. Weird, considering where we were 20 years ago. Just saying

There isn't a new rep for SC holders....it's still Angela Worrall.They are season tickets, just with an extra £150 for the privilege.
In reality they are just a disgraceful way the club have thought of to increase season ticket prices on the quiet. The only was as a member you can get a season ticket at the moment is through these, so the club can make £150 extra on every new season ticket sold because there is no alternative.
I am so angry. The club have treated members terribly these last few years. Hopefully the new Citymatters rep for members will challenge the club on all this.
Sorry I meant new rep for cityzens members, a position which I don't believe has existed before.There isn't a new rep for SC holders....it's still Angela Worrall.
Angela refused to join the other CM reps when they issued a statement criticising yet another SC rise this year. Apparently because she was happy with the price of her SC. I wouldn't expect too much push back from her wrt Flexi Golds only.
Was just gonna say, it sounds like that's the end of new season tickets at city.Bit by bit all season tickets will become flexi-gold.
At least I’ll be able to hang on to my ‘normal’ season ticket until the day I die. Then the club can do want they want with it. I won’t be arsed because I’ll be dead.
Was just gonna say, it sounds like that's the end of new season tickets at city.
If you've got one, make sure you keep it!

There have been no new full SCs for the last few seasons. Firstly there were a handful of the short-lived Silver option and this summer the grand total of 600 Flexi Golds were snapped up in minutes.Was just gonna say, it sounds like that's the end of new season tickets at city.

So if you choose or are unable to go to all 19 games,the club presumably have the right to sell your seat at an inflated price for those games ?If you go to all 19 games you pay £150 extra and can't transfer or list your ticket but you can choose not to go to all games.
Surely the club have to be challenged on this. The Football supporters association will be interested and I’m going to bet they are completely opposed.Was just gonna say, it sounds like that's the end of new season tickets at city.

If I was local these days I would probably be more sympathetic, but I am so far from Manchester now I have become a “tourist”, in the words of many on here, despite having been a fan of 58 years and a regular at Maine Road for half my adult life. But now I live in Bournemouth, who are also in the Premier League. I have a grandson mad on football, and he relies on his Dad paying for hospitality so he can watch them, the capacity is less than 12k, and the tickets are impossible to get except for friendlies and unattractive Carabao Cup home ties. So in effect, for every home game he and his Dad attend, they pay more than a Ticket for a City home game. I read somewhere that Leyton Orient sell out their home games every week, and they are in Division One. The big issue here is that the demand for tickets is outstripping supply, City’s owners would be mad not to follow the rules of economic success. Sad but true, blame the TVYou are right about all those things.
But fan engagement is either still very poor or doesn’t exist. That’s the decision the club took a long time ago. And that’s what they are sticking to.
