Return of Supporters

city need to look after the die hard. All those on 22k plus loyalty points (about 2k) should get in to all games - they are the life blood of the club. IMO they should not be in a ballot. Let the corporate lot and jkl like andreas from dronfield go in the ballot.

you mean the old fogeys who are most likely to die if allowed to attend mass gatherings?
 
Be interesting how the brighton experiment went,all are in the track and trace system

I cant see a lot of older fans risking it,it will be winter and flu and covid ,just cant risk it
 
Where’s the fun in sitting in a virtually empty ground sweating behind a thoroughly pointless mask, having to arrive early and leave late and all the while having to indulge certain showsec minimum wage numpties who will be absolutely in their element for a few hours of their unfulfilled lives.

For an important game it might just be worth it but not for the vast majority of games

I shudder to think how many points I'd have by now if they'd handed out loyalty points when I started in1959! For well over 10 years (mid 60s to mid 70s) I averaged around 50 matches a season and all I got to qualify for big match tickets were defaced away programmes and tokens cut out of the home ones. Then the inevitable all night queues to get the ticket.
When I got married, the away trips dried up, then, when the kids came along, everything stopped for a few years. I've now got around 12K, so, once again, I'm buggered.

C'est la fucking vie.
 
100% shouldn’t go to loyalty points. You already get the advantage of away games. Why should you get home games? There are probably a couple hundred blues who buy away tickets just to sell on to keep the points. I’ve bought many an. Away game on here. I don’t see why you can’t do 1/3 of season tickets week 1, 1/3 Week 2 and 1/3 week 3. If you don’t get United or a Liverpool then so be it. You’re going to watch city , not the opposition
 
Oh heck we’re not starting the “I’m a bigger blue than you“ malarkey again are we?

A ballot for everyone who wants to go to the game is the fairest way, at present, with the person named on the season card that wins being the only one who can attend. If you win and find you can’t attend for some reason then it goes back into the ‘hat’ to be redrawn.

Once you have won a ticket in the ballot your number is taken out for the next two or three games to give everyone a fair chance of attending at least one game.

That sounds ok but imagine winning the game before the derby.

This is daft, surely the people sat behind others are a bigger risk than those to the side, it would be better to be sat 2 or 3 seats apart back to front ? I'm constantly showered in spit from behind, even 2 rows behind struggle to prevent that if people are abusing the referee or players.

There seems no plan there at all, some sat directly behind each other, some seats apart, and a group of 7 or 8 (behind and left of number 17), who are all too close.

Might as well fill every seat if that's how its going to work.

There is one seat gap in each direction it is harder to see vertically. At the Emirates/Arsenal (not the 2 other grounds) the seats are so big it would be pretty safe, but at the trafford football ground with seats to small to sit in they would need 2 each way.

Yes I appreciate that, but 1 seat front to back is not the same as 1 side to side, and the point is the "droplets" travel down, not side to side, unless you point that way, so its highly likely you'd get droplets from someone 2 seats behind, and less likely from the side, and that picture shows exactly why.

I can't see me going back if it's like that sadly, I will have to go to work occasionally (we're still working a lot of shifts from home) where I don't feel we've done anywhere near enough, and that doesn't look good to me, and I don't have to do that, so it's unlikely I will.
 
I undestand some people being wary about all this and respect that.Personal choice.

In Poland recently I attended a few games and at one (Gornik Zabrze) was stood in the ultras secrion where there was very little distancing going on.Theres not been any kind of spike in that area related to football since as far as I am aware.

I also watched the Hungarian Cup Final on TV and it was a full stadium.I fully expected a spike in Budapest related to football but nothing that I have seen.

My opinion on all of this is that we are being over cautious, theres a lot of things in this world that can kill you.

Alongside City I have followed Darlington FC for many years in non league and am waiting to hear plans there for fans return.Darlingtons ground holds 3200 with an average crowd of 1500 so a 30% restriction on crowds will knacker them money wise.

As regards City a big part of matchday for me is taking my Dad along with my 2 lads (got 2 40 year old seasencards between us) and having a few pints so the prospect of sitting in a stadium yards from anyone does not appeal at all so we will probably give it a miss.
 
If they are taking your name for track and trace and someone is positive who around you has to isolate? How many rows forward and back, how many seats to the side? I really think it’s time to move on, if you don’t want to go for your health next season defer your ticket but those that want to should be allowed to, it’s going to be such a stale experience believe me I was there for the Norwich game.
