Yes, it's 20,000.

As I wasn't the guilty party who had "fallen well short" in his duties, I think I'm entitled to call him whatever the fuck I want without a hint of irony so you're talking bollocks there.

No axe to grind from me - plenty of respected posters on here have issues with him.

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that.

Another one embarrassing themselves.

Reality. It's a ticket for a football match.

My actual point is the use of the term whore which had for me pasted it's sell buy date now.

I suspect that the embarrassment is actually yours for trying to defend the indefensible.

Self interest perhaps? Who knows? Who cares? No matter what tag you put on it, it is wrong, changing the term won't make it right.

Anyway, my view is that the topic has now been done to death and hopefully City will see fit to continue to eradicate the practice.

As in my post above, I respect your view as hopefully you respect mine.....but you don't have to agree with it.

Any insiders know when they're likely to go on sale?

Fucking hell mate - you make it sound like helping a mate out with a ticket every now and then (as opposed to full on blatant points whoring) is akin to murdering someone. Just wind it in for fuck's sake! I wouldn't mind but you even followed that up in another post by saying that you would be prepared to help long-standing blues out so why the hell you're claiming the moral high ground on this is beyond me.

Look, this new system is what it is and if it's the way the club is going for all future European aways then that's fair enough - ultimately it is a fairer way of doing it but openly criticising fans for helping mates out with tickets in the past is out of order because I doubt there isn't a fan out there that wouldn't do it.

Why would there be tickets left that nobody can use? Won't happen but If there wasn't that much interest, it will go all the way down the points scale and eventually end up open to anybody with a seasoncard or citizens card. If somebody doesn't have either of those for whatever reason then they can have no complaints about not being able to get a ticket for the champions league semi final away leg.

There will be tickets in Madrid out of 3600 there are bound to be a number of no shows. unless you are the designated person for that ticket then it will not be issued to anyone. Why not have a waiting list in Madrid for people who have a buying history who have traveled and are prepared to wait till the last minute to pick up any spares?

How far did the PSG game drop down to in-terms of points?

Exactly. There's always going to be somebody that can't make it for whatever reason despite having committed to paying for a ticket and travel. An unintended consequence of this new system is that those that can't make the game can't offload their ticket to another fan and at least recoup some of their outlay. Your proposal for working round this is a good one because some fans will still travel without tickets and there could be some mileage in incorporating it into the ticket collection process.

Great shout although not sure how big that list would be.
