Return of Supporters

I haven't got a ticket so I'll be watching on TV like many others. Delighted for those that have got them.


It's what the club wanted, which is to be consistent with the normal process, depending on the game and competition. The League & (presumably) CL finals will be done on scheme membership/points and the PL game was done on the basis of roughly the same mix who would be in the goound normally. Even if we had wanted it done on points only, the club would have said no. But we got a slightly better deal for seasoncard holders and the few hundred most loyal fans. Whether people like it or not, it's consistent.

Have we learned lessons from this? Yes - there are some things we'd probably do slightly differently if this has to be repeated next season. Hopefuly it's not, but the broad process will be the same I expect.

Fair enough
 
Absolutely gutted I didn't get 1.
Wanted to be there for Dad who passed away last year and after 15 months of being locked down I really wanted to be there.
Devastated.

What about a hypothetical citizen member that may have had a s/c for many years and gave it up for whatever reason just a few years ago ? Should they not be given a chance.

Indeed. I know a good number of people like that. Mates who couldn’t justify the price rise the year that seasoncards went up by £75, as they have families.

My Dad gave up his seasoncard in around 2006, he’s still got his Supporter Number and a few thousand points. I’ve got many more points than him but I’m still nowhere near him when it comes to City games attended (his first game was 1964)

My Grandad (Mother’s Father) has no points at all and hasn’t been to a game for about 25 years, but I haven’t been to as many City games as him neither (his first game was 1945).
 
Life isn’t always fair. Sad for anybody who has missed out but it was always going to be the case with only 10k tickets available.
Best to move on and keep fingers crossed everyone can be there who wants to be there on the first game of the new season.
 
Unsuccessful. Disappointed obviously, but I'll live.

Means I can watch the Monaco GP live now though, so not all bad.

I understand the frustrations of many but a few are making tits of themselves with their sense of entitlement.

IMO and FWIW, for a home league game, then all SC holders are equal. I don't care how many points you've got and how many years you've done tbh. If you bought a SC the last time they were available then you should've got an equal shot.

So, to me, giving some to "Cityzens" and guaranteed for those above 22k are as bad as each other. But this is in hindsight and I may've felt differently if I'd been successful. Who knows?

I don't envy the club(s) or Fan Reps because they're on an absolute hiding to nothing. They were never going to please everyone, or even the majority.

I would though advise those CM reps to stay off the thread for a bit and not get involved in slanging matches. It's not a great look. There are plenty of others defending you. Let everyone vent and wait for the dust to settle...

Good luck to those who go, have a great day and sing one for me.

Those who didn't will just have to suck it up, like the rest of us.
