Return of Supporters

I'd be inclined to agree to a significant extent but it's worth noting that with regards to this particular match, none of the fan groups from either club or the FSA have been consulted in any way by those in charge of organising this. An EFL tweet last week stated that they'd been in discussions with "relevant stakeholders" but obviously fans of City and Spurs aren't relevant in their eyes. We're just the bums not on seats. And I have it on relatively good authority that City and Spurs have had next to no input with regards to the restrictions being put in place so it would be unfair to pin any blame on the clubs.

Think City have done that as fairly as possible and done all they can, it's not them putting in all these rules. I had no intention whatsoever of going but the pricing is a complete farce. It shows they really done give a shit about fans despite thus year long insistence it's all about the fans etc etc. It's all about the money and the very first chance they've got under a pilot testing scheme they've shown their true face charging those prices.

The world's on its arse, its debatable whwtehr the tickets should be free but certainly no more than a £5-10 cover charge yet they've basically gone with the same prices as the final last year which is a complete disgrace.

This would be the perfect time for fans and fan groups to make a stand here, have fan groups, supporters clubs, people of influence from both clubs bound together and refuse to buy tickets at those prices, it's the easiest it will ever be to do that and it would certainly send a powerful message, they need fans more than ever and we won't take being ripped off anymore but sadly that's never going to happen and we will gladly go back to letting them price fans out of the game.

Especially as the 4000 tickets for Brent residents and the NHS workers are being given out free and that’s without addressing the obviously discriminatory practice of banning U-18‘s, pregnant women and the clinically vulnerable. Sorry to say but football fans should have nothing to do with this, as it’s really the thin end of the wedge.

How have the NHS staff been given tickets or how are they getting them ? Obviously Brent residents get them by living in brent,are the NHS staff getting them cos the are local NHS brent or London residents ?

If they are free for local Brent residents and NHS staff yet i have to pay,I'm NHS ,they can stick it up their arse.

I mean - let's look at those 3 groups of people:

Clinically vulnerable - Had both jabs so as well protected from getting seriously ill with Covid as they'll ever be
Under 18s - the least at risk age group with regards to Covid.
Pregnant women - God only knows why they're being singled out

Yeah that's what I think and despite it being a bit of jumping through hoops, going to CSKA Moscow back in 2013 wasn't exactly straight forward with that visa you had to get!

That's true, but we only took around 4/500 to CSKA Moscow back then?

I still think it will be a big ask to sell 2k tickets for this with all the faff involved (as well as the significant changes to our attitudes following on from the pandemic).
