Look, we all want to be at this game. With only 10k seats available there was never going to be a solution to suit everyone, it was an impossible task.
The Club and City Matters have tried, in a very difficult situation, to appease a proportion of all elements of our fan base.
A few points though,
- Citizencards were set up for those, who for whatever personal reason, cannot get to every home game.
- Loyalty points were set up for away game prioritisation of tickets
- The ticket price for this game is 1/19 of your season card price for last season or equivalent price if not
- Those with the highest loyalty points will, quite correctly, have the earliest opportunity to get a Champions League Final ticket
My point is this. We all bleed blue blood for our club. Emotions do come to the fore but for goodness sake let's not turn on ourselves. When our team was the laughing stock of fans from other clubs, particularly those from Trafford, the one thing that never ever faltered was our feeling of being in this together.
I don't have 22k points despite being a season ticket holder since 1984 but I won't begrudge anyone else getting a ticket if I don't get one. I'll be in the ballot and good luck to everyone else who is in it. CTID
