outpricing and moving longterm season ticket holders

[big gaz]

They really don't care mate, 20+ years means nothing to the new way City do things. A few lads I go with were on level 2 and got moved a few years back, money is king now at City plain and simple.

Richard Dunne
Osmane Dabo
Darius Vassell
George Samaras

or

Vincent Kompany
David Silva
Yaya Toure
Sergio Aguero

Total agreement, why are so many upset now, this was common knowledge ages a go.

bingo.

I'm not upset and knew the price hike was coming. Given the price hike in level 2 I might even givenSuperbia more thought.

The issue for me is have the Club re-evaluated after a few cock ups trying to get a more middle class fan base, including:
A) Forever Blue
B) City Circles - and
C) the whole of the North Stand becoming the Family Stand

If the Club have thousands of Corporates queueing up then I can take the changes in the chin. If the Club is struggling to fill existing corporate seats then it should review and be prepared to change its plans if appropriate!

the only thing clubs care about is making money. they aren't bothered about how long you've them. Hoepfully one day football caves in on itself

started as soon as sky moved in, remember the first night sky game was us at Maine road with bloody cheerleaders, said to my mate on the Kippax 'football will never be the same again once sky get a grip' cant see it ever caving in but the lower league's will disappear or certainly become semi pro

My first game

Thanks for your 20+ years of custom but fuck off. We've got tourists to entertain who have deeper pockets. Absolute joke shop.

Don't you think that's a little bit of a small minded attitude? They haven't asked you to move yet and you don't know whether you will be, and if so what the alternative will be.

One things for certain, the 'tourists' you refer to subsidise everyone else's seat and contribute to the wages of the players you enjoy watching. Hasnt the penny dropped yet that the sheikh wants this club at break even?
And I know a number of blues in the corporate sections who were giving the club two grand a year when we were in the lower divisions. I know one who attends every away game around the world and has done all his life.

If you're such a fucking Superfan maybe you should be a bit more sympathetic to the needs of The Sheikh and The Club.

Not asked me and my mates to move yet but the freshly built walls and markings on the ground tell me the writing is on the alan ball. Only a matter of time. Club could not be more blatant. Small minded? Do me a favour DD. We're talking about fans moved from the maine stand at maine road and who have sat happily together and for years and who have a massive bond. We're being told thanks but fuck off to accommodate non city fans who are prepared to pay a bit more. Absolute joke shop.

You seem quite preoccupied that "non City fans" will get these tickets.

Maybe I might get a ticket there.

I said this to someone the other day
I'll be thinking of moving there, just to get away from my kids

I am struggling to see how we will get all these corporates into these middle tiers, people have mentioned about the support getting more middle class i just don't see that at all, the increase in gates since Sheik Mansour took over is not big at all possibly due in part to a restricted capacity, i would say the overwhelming majority of match day fans have been here pre SM and it isn't getting more middle class just a lot older.

Just move seats.

 

[Deleted member 58678]

Makes you wonder who will actually fill all these seats if level 2 goes corporate... how many wealthy City fans do you know? It's not like we're Arsenal.

Only potential positive of level 2 going corporate is that it could mean prices starting to freeze on levels 1 and 3 because the price rises have been non-stop for years now.

They won't all be City fans (some might be). It'll be a lot of corporate links with bank managers, business owners, sponsors, 'friends' of all these people, invitees of the club, some will be tickets given to the Premier League who will give them out to selected parties and so on.
