Return of Supporters

No matter what City opted for, or what City Matters suggested, people would would be disgusted with them for whatever reason.

Over the last five years or so, I find the away games that eventually sell out on low points are the ones with the best atmospheres; whereas often the ones that sell out on high points are full of people who’ve done it all so many times before, it can take a lot for them to get a good atmosphere going. I find the FA Cup games that sell out with lots of lesser seen fans often have a better atmosphere than the Prem games where all the usual seasoncard holders turn up.

Absolutely mate. I agree 100%

I give you, Hamburg.

The points system and the "This is my seat" culture is what's killing atmosphere.

They should have given 26,000 fans the option to choose one of the last 3 games only.
If you go to Wembley you can’t apply for Champs League or Everton and Vice Versa.
That way upto 26,000 fans would have had a better opportunity to attend 1 of these 3 games not the same people going to them all.
It’s done it for me now this,
Going since 77, been all over the country over the years,
I won’t be renewing , I’d rather give Sky my money and that’s saying something !
I wouldn’t be suprised if the 10k at Everton have been hand picked due to what they have previously spent at games in the souvenir shop.
I’d imagine a similar crowd to a champs league game when a load of strangers appear out of nowhere!
How are we supposed to increase points when we don’t get a sniff in the 1st place!
Absolutely fuming!

Really? So those that jumped through hoops to attend Wembley (when postcode lottery aside most seasoncard holders couldn’t be arsed) should then miss out on Everton or Champs League. Nonsense

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.

I agree with this.
Didn't get a ticket, am I angry/upset - no.
The club and our Citizens reps had really difficult decisions to make, they came up with what I think was a balanced solution (although the club should have been clearer in it's communications that there would be separate ballots for ST and Citizens)
Now if they try to ballot the CL Final that's a whole other story ;)

Not sure that helps matters. Can understand people's genuine disappointment so not really any need to rub it in and wind them up.
 
Got my email (unsuccessful) a couple of hours ago. Gutted that I can't be there - just shy of the 22k cut off point - and also missed out on the League Cup Final due to the postcode lottery. Don't ask me for tonight"s lottery numbers. But made up for those who've got a ticket, should be great. Will go to the ground anyway as can't miss the day and Sergio's send off, is something being laid on in City Square or anything for those who can't attend the game?

Not the slightest bit funny.

You’ll be lucky to escape a ban for Wumming.

people need to cheer up. We’ve been in a pandemic. People have died, city fans included. I bet they’d be happy to never go to a game again to have their lives back. Not everyone could get a ticket. The club did what they deemed was the fairest way. The abuse the supporters services are getting on Twitter is ridiculous. We’re all city fans. Just be happy Sergio is getting some sort of send off, the send off Silva wasn’t fortunate enough to get
