Return of Supporters

[LongsightM13]

Why not? We do with VAR.

I was just using an example, it applies to all teams, I thought that was obvious by the use of “for example”

You also wrote "Klanfield" for some top notch comedy

Newcastle home on Boxing day will be the new "York away"

"I was there, first game after Covid"

Estimates will put the crowd at 55k for a 2200 capacity match :-}

Happy for those who want to go back straight away

I do wonder how many will have noticed the time and money saved watching at home, and weigh that up against the enjoyment of the whole pub/match day ritual and it will be interesting to see how the crowds are if and when we get back to full capacity (hopefully sooner rather than later)

That is out of order. It’s ok for you lot in Manchester surrounded by blues. Over here we are completely outnumbered. The red rats have infested all parts of this island. Urgent vermin control needed.

I second the Ban:)

I would let you apply if a season ticket holder tbf, then decline you but at least you wouldn't feel left out :-)

It's all these cunts from cheshire, bury n bolton we shouldn't allow, in fact no M postcode no entry

Like the three musketeers, one for all and all for one.
Anything else is a studio audience for foreigners watching on TV

Check PL kick-off days and times. Football has been run "for foreigners watching on TV" for almost three decades.
Not to mention non-foreign armchair "supporters" who aren't all rags and dippers.

I won’t be entering the ballot. We travel from Scotland so would rather see local fans getting the seats. Hopefully by August we will be out of this nightmare and back properly. I pray to god all our friends that sit around us have stayed safe. Most of them are elderly.

 

[BillCarlisle]

I think those making the decisions currently have more pressing things to think about.

Of course It is your choice not to go back, but many fans want to go back watching games and many clubs in the pyramid will be reliant on the income. It is a long way from perfect, but a start and I am not sure what you would expect the authorities to do, not open until the stadium can be full again?

Preferably, yes. Until a large percentage of the population has been vaccinated I can't see how it's safe to permit crowds of any size. At the moment in some parts of the country cases are actually increasing, despite the recent lockdown.
Safety is a long way off, IMHO.

Same here some memory photos appeared on my Facebook page, had a brilliant time there and would definitely go back

Had been with Hearts before in August / Sept so wasn't sure what to expect but really enjoyed it

Same

Same

Same.
Would like to think you should be a local fan to qualify for a ticket.
You are not helping travelling a distance to a football match even though it would have to be played at a level 2 area

 

[squirtyflower]

We specifically asked that plastic cunts, particularly Irish ones, be excluded. Nice to know City listened for once. ;-)

Did you also ask that they exclude families from attending together?

Do any of the City Matters people represent family seasoncard holders?

Only 55k? This is gonna top the two and a half million who went to York.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Not interested until I can have pre match beers with my mates and sit with them , paying £35 in a deserted stadium is not high on my agenda, the match day experience is far more than the ninety minutes on the pitch .

 

[Corky]

Are you absolutely sure about that?

"In England, you do not have to request details from people who check in with the official NHS QR poster, and venues should not ask them to do both. Venues must not make the specific use of the NHS QR code a precondition of entry (as the individual has the right to choose to provide their contact details if they prefer)."

The club has all these details already on a database as well as where everyone is sitting end entering, and has a record of who as attended. Seems laziness from the club insisting fans purchase and take with them a phone to do this, shows they are out of touch, not everyone wants a phone with the internet on.

 

[colinthewindowcleaner]

It’s the ‘Health Questionnaire’ and ‘NHS track and trace’ I want to know more about

 

[samb66]

As a season ticket holder for nearly 50 years,I can't believe so many fans are so kean to get back to a game that has been completely ruined by the powers that be.When you really think about it, the supporters have never had so much power, the game could be boycotted until VAR is scrapped. Football will never be the same whilst this is still in use, never another Aguero moment,can't even celebrate any more,passion completely gone!!

I know we have our own definition of safe in these times but to imply 2000 in a 50000+ stadium is unsafe is stretching it for me.

 

[BillCarlisle]

It's not within the stadium seats that's the issue. It's the travelling & concourse where the danger lies. I would have thought that was obvious.
