PB. Thanks for your efforts, I’ve been going for 50 years and missed out. At the end of the day, it’s just the way the mop flops.

This is entirely on the club not City Matters.

The club chose a ballot instead of choosing to make use of the loyalty points system.

If there were only 2000 allowed to attend and I missed out to people on 22000 points I'd be disappointed but would understand. But missing out to people with less claim than myself (I have a mere 21610 points) is what's killing me. I know one **** that plays fucking badminton on Wednesday evenings so he doesn't bother with Champions League, League Cup or midweek games. He'll be there on Sunday I won't. The last home game I missed was in February 1976 before that twat was even born.

This clearly unfair and I don't share your opinion that it's just the way 'the mop flops'. The club have chosen to ignore the unique contribution of City fans of a certain age; the ones that stood by the club during the lowest point in our history. No other club has experienced the extreme lows and highs that we have and that's what makes us special.

End of rant. All academic now. I'm sure when it comes time to renew my season ticket I will have regained some sense of perspective but at the moment I'm still incandescent with rage.

It’s the badminton that’s tipped you over the edge isn’t it?

The reaction by some to missing out on the ballot is as bizarre as it is predictable. I understand the arguments about non S/C holders getting tickets but really, it’s a dead rubber. I know it’s Agueros last game etc. but it’s on telly, and, as PB says get some perspective.

If you're looking for balance and perspective perhaps you need a different hobby. Supporting a football team is by its very nature tribal and visceral.

And as the old chant goes - if you're watching on the telly (as I will be) you're a ****.

Badminton?

1 of our 10 members got tickets in the season card/Cityzens ballot. Want to tell me how that's looking after ourselves?

One who had just under 22k missed out. He's on here so so do you want to tell him that?

If we looked after ourselves we made a fucking poor job of it.

You didn’t look after yourselves. You didn’t get the club to agree to a fair system for this game. IMHO
