AFC said:I understand that mate but I know many that travel all over watching Arsenal and have spent everything they earn and more(a lot more) doing so.Marvin said:The disadvantage City fans have is that wages here are lower and the most expensive ticket prices are for games in London where we have to pay travel costs as well.AFC said:I like to think the abuse is generally aimed in the direction of the football fan every club have and we ALL despise. It is sad to see, as no-one to my knowledge has come on here and give it the usual big club,loyal fans,couldn't sell tickets blah blah...what I am surprised to see it has not been a concerted(organised) effort by City fans to refuse to buy as opposed to the odd F*** that, too close to Christmas etc..after all it is what an extra £5 above what Chelsea and other London been charging us for years. £55 at Fulham last year as I recall
I am sure you realise that we have been charged top wack everywhere we have played ever since clubs have graded games. We were charged £50 at Charlton ffs the last time they were up (5-6 years ago?) Price of success perhaps but no trophies for 7 or even 35 years is going to change that.
You have heard of paying the price for success...welcome to the club.
Regards and Respect
It's quite noticeable, when you see the visiting support from Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal, that their supporter base is a lot wealthier than ours
I know you may baulk and laugh at my next comment In 2000 we played away to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League(no club trip,no cheap flights and no direct flights) it was the last group game as we had already qualified), a reserve side put out ...38..yes thirty eight of us hardy souls braved the elements of Far Eastern Ukraine and a 0-3 defeat..two days later the draw and an away trip in November(2 weeks later) to Spartak Moscow...-17 and a 1-4 defeat 350 of us this time....
fathellensbellend I am sorry I don't know how to double quote? My first game at Maine Rd was I think a league cup match in 1985 and not missed one since, I hope you have another great trip apart from the obvious to London..it's in the blood so we'll see you next season!
stick around on here mate, beyond on all the bollox that exists on forums you have a lot to contribute. as for league cup games against arsenal, you ALWAYS bloody won them
