make it ten quid for a game wed sell out in hours and have an amazing atmosphere. tonight was well priced and it showed in the type of fan who went, obviously postponement made it difficult to get a full ground tonight though
I'm not going in. Will be horrendous.Is anyone else as anxious as me at what the rags at work are going to say about this tomorrow?
The only thing left that needs improving is us. Face it.
It's only a guess but I think what made us great is costing us now. Hard core of loyal support in the dark days now in their fifties and sixties won't give up their season tickets but moan when they go and can't be bothered half the time.
Club realise they must attract the youngsters and it is working slowly, much to the annoyance of some fogies who see the efforts as blatant commercialism or cheesey.
I still believe that some fans are annoyed there is so little to moan about as that's what attracted them to us in the first place.
The away support is fine. Home support is crap. We need new blood and in the meantime Pep is right to put a rocket up the rest of us. It's time to stop congratulating ourselves on our past loyalty when we were crap and start to back the team now the future has never been brighter.

SeasonCards became too expensive five years ago and as a result people either sacked off the cups or were fired to sack of City altogether.
I know lads who were right up there in Loyalty Points, lads you'd never expect to stop going to City in a million years, who don't miss going one bit and have found other things to spend their spare cash on that's cheaper rather than scrimp and save every penny just to afford a SC.
The club probably think they've done us a big favour this year freezing prices but they've been too expensive for ages. Even fans came out with "well done City" when it was announced that £750 was a fair price for what was £525 not that long ago for a club in exactly the same position they were when it was that price. That's not a "well done" that's a "fuck me I can stretch my attendance, just, for one more year, phew".
It might have been cheap tonight but it's fucking expensive across the season as a whole so the odd games where it's cheap don't make up for the extortion of ticket prices and travel expenses over the 50+ games we play.
We've got halfway there with the £30 away tickets but there needs to be far far far more cheap SeasonCards available for fans.
It's not just about buying a ticket neither, it's about transport to games whether it be Beswick or Bournemouth or Besiktas. So yeah, £17.50 was a decent price tonight but a tank+half of petrol twice in a week next week going down to Swansea twice and £75 coming out for a SC on payday tomorrow is not.
Many many fans have fucked the cup scheme off because the price of the SC is more than enough.
£17.50 for a champions league game is a very good price but still many didn't come.Set the price right and the fans will come
I do attend but actually don't like the competition. But I'm a single man with no kids and don't have the financial constraints of some of my mates who are married with kids so I just go to the games. I honestly don't go because I enjoy it, I just go because I'm a City fans and City are playing.A lot of blues just don't like this competition, I bet at least a third if not more of season ticket holders don't attend CL games.
Is anyone else as anxious as me at what the rags at work are going to say about this tomorrow?
