Rags caught lying about attendances (merged)

The most startling thing about this is that 10,000 people bought tickets and didn't go to the game. That's fucking weird.

I think the most startling thing is 10,000 people with season tickets couldn't manage to sell them on. A few on ragcafe have said they've missed loads of games and couldn't find anyone willing to buy their ticket. They blame the economy but what about the tens of thousands that claim they can never get a ticket?

Things are catching up them
Plastics won't want to buy expensive tickets to watch long ball footie and not lord it over everyone else like they used to
The number of season ticket holders who rarely go but then try to sell them on is very high, it has become a form of legalised touting

It's beginning to happen at City to a smaller extent

United's tickets are fucking expensive, to be fair. My friend and his dad are both season-ticket holders in the Stretford End but neither of them have been able to go very much for the past couple of seasons due to various illnesses and work commitments (the last game they both attended together was the 6-1), and normally they'd sell the ticket on to another one of my friends - or to my friend's sister's boyfriend - but neither of them want to buy the ticket anymore because the prices are reaching to over £40/£50 per game.

Come on guys flights are expensive now?

I do think the economic situation has something to do with it, but also boredom has to be a factor (it will come to us) if you know that virtually every team is going to bend over and take it, at almost every game, quite simply they are expected to win at home and they do most of the time, and have been doing so for longer than us, give us a few more seasons and it will happen to us

@MCFCTone The Redsaway site has also got figures for Cty's attendances which they will publish soon. Issue is tickets sold, I imagine.

 

[MCFC BOB]

Well, this will be ... oh, nothing.

It's a fucking shithole. Seats on top of each other and the toilets have no ceiling with live wires hanging down in the piss. You also have to be a midget to get a pint.
