our charity shield attendance...

I don't get to many games due to work commitments and georgraphy, I aim to go to at least 6 home games a year. As I work weekends they tend to be the midweek games or a Sunday game if it falls on my rota'd Sunday off. When I go I reckon it costs me all in between £80-£100 per game, ticket, fuel, parking, food & drink. If the Mrs wants to come then even more. Work ain't busy (commision based) and not got lots of spare cash but as this is my Sunday off I am making the effort to go to Wembley, ticket and transport alone is costing me £100, at a time when we have bills and our wedding to pay for there are things that the cash could have been spent on but I know how limited my chances are to get to City games so I grabbed this one.

However, I don't see how its fair to be are slagging others off for not going. Everybody's situation is different, some will have the motivation to go but not the money, others will have the money not the motivation.

We have a great hardcore set of fans who follow us home and away and I have massive respect for you all and makes me proud when you see away ends full and can hear our fans over the home supporters. If I could be at every game I would be, but my circumstances make it impossible so I have to settle for going whenever I can.

If this makes me less of a fan in peoples eyes then so be it but there ain't nothing I can do to change my situation (bar a lottery win) as there is nothing others can do to change theirs to make Sunday possible for them.

That is a real concern for the future.we will never expand our stadium. To watch it on tv,then youre an imposter of a city fan.

Good post.
 
somepeople can afford it and some cant its simple.
especially after we have already been to wembley twice recently.
im not going because i cannot afford it as i spent all my pennies on a season ticket, if that means some peole think im a plastic fan for not going then so be it.

Not going to have ago at any blue for not going if they cannot afford it or whatever. But this is not a friendly. its for a trophy that believe it or not, contributes to both clubs honours lists. The European Super Cup is not a friendly, neither is this.

The European Super cup is a friendly too
