I'm a bit wary of posts that amount to "I've got stubs from Maine Road, have never been to a CL game cos UEFA are corrupt, but should be first in the queue over these new fans who have been to every CL game this season" but think this sales criteria would be fair and transparent to all fans of all generations while probably, if we are honest, still leaving enough to go on open sale.
Over on the ticket counter threads there's chat we won't even sell our allowance, which I think is mad, but there you go!!
That is a touch insensitive and plain wrong. The season ticket holder has been sorted out fine by this criteria. The member who has been to every cup match has not.
There are lots of regular season ticket holders near me who don't attend CL games. That's fine and it's their decision. But, for me, the whole point of opting into the Cup scheme, is to ensure entry for these sort of matches. I don't like UEFA but I love European matches and have only missed a handful of our home games in Europe since 1969. The atmosphere has been better for CL games this season than for PL games. I have huge sympathy for those who struggle with the cost of attending games but demand for Real Madrid at home will always exceed supply. This is why we are expanding the stadium though 61,000 will still be too small for a CL semi-final.
you are missing the point, i don't make the decisions, i just fear the club have gone down a completely different route, their is no denying there was a lot of apathy for a decade around the champions league from our fans, the club tried all kinds of promotions, but they seem to have now said fuck it the tourists are the answer in terms of money and numbers, i don't agree, just how i feel it is
Well I can’t get on to see that! How’d you get on?
