Return of Supporters

I'm looking forward to hearing City's PR machine try and justify letting Citizens of one or two years standing in to see a trophy lift while season ticket holders of 42 years standing are on the outside.

How wil you know? What if it's somebody that had a season ticket for 25 years and has been going to 6-10 match days a rear fo another 25 ? Are they not worthy ?

Just working on the assumption that if it happens, the 10k will be drawn along the same lines as the aborted game in December, with cityzens and casuals in the same mix as longstanding season ticket holders.

Not making any judgment on the rights and wrongs and don't envy the club at deciding who goes and who doesn't.

An arbitrary 10 years of having a season card should perhaps be the first option... nothing will ever be perfect but that'd hopefully get fans in with a few years of service or certainly paying for tickets for home games in the ground.

As you say if it's feasible to have fans in there's no way people would agree Inna fair split/system.

I guess it will, not sure why anyone would object really,it will be a vast majorty s/c holders ,maybe some long standing match day citizens but it would only be the odd one. I guess a handfull of newer fans might get lucky, Good luck to them.

I seem to recall reading something that said they were not going to be using it as a trial event now. I may be wrong though.

Exactly this. One of the main reasons I pay out for a season card every year(since 2003/4) as it guarantees I can get a ticket for Cup Finals .
And I would class the last match of this season (vs Everton at the Etihad) as a Cup Final. "Simples"

The EFL wanted it as a trial event but it isn't up to them.

It would be daft supporters travelling 200+ mile for a trial event. I think for the EFL trials would be sensible to start with the play-offs, at the earliest, after 17th May.

Exactly the dilemma the club must be in. In a one game season so to speak why wouldn't it be on season cards and points? But is that fair on newer supporters? End of the day the season should be over long before the last game but a trophy lift is a game that many would want to be at.

It should go off Loyalty Points (or whatever they’re called now). That’s the point in having them in the first place.

And no exceptions neither. No jumping the queue if you happen to pay more for a box you’ve had for a few years.

As I say everybody won't will be happy with whatever system the club uses and loyalty points have been discussed to death (points whores, lower points holders not having the chance to get away tickets to some games, effect of Supporters Clubs etc).

I'm not sure I'd even apply at the moment for this season but, using a period of S/C ownership is almost the same thing if over a long period and covers the bracketed concerns.

Not everyone will be happy but for me the 'best' method would be a straight draw of SC holders who want to apply.

I think that's the fairest way as well. I've been a SC holder for 25 years now & accumulated a large amount of points so I should be OK if it does go to points but if prefer it if we're all stuck in a pot & 10000 names pulled out.
 
Let's think of the corporate seats first, not all of the allocation will go to loyal matchgoing fans as is always the case with things like this. There are going to be a lot of people left out of this, but the bright side is that some of you on here will get a chance to go and see the team this season at the business end of the season.

Don't think any supporters should return until this Pandemic is over and if we win the Premier, League Cup, CL & or FA Cup I'd only want crowds to gather en masse if permitted. My freedoms have been curtailed long enough but i want it over

Why though , if it’s deemed safe for 10, 000 then and hospital cases are negligible due to vaccines then I’d like 10,000 to get the chance. Very unlikely I’d get one and unless I could go with my son I’d decline. I wouldn’t want to deny anyone else the chance. Good luck to anyone that can go.

Part of the justification behind potentially moving fixtures is this, taken from the BBC article:

'To maintain a competitive balance and ensure all 20 clubs get to play a home game with fans present, a round of fixtures will be shifted to 18-20 May.'

So where was the competitive balance earlier in the season when fans were allowed in some grounds but not others.

Wouldnt it be 'fairer' to finish season behind closed doors so that all games this season played under same conditions - integrity of league and all that
I know we would have already won the league before then but eg Fulham having their fans in for barcodes game doesnt seem fair to me
Then start again next season with (hopefully by then) lots more than10k able to attend
 
It will go on jabs. Those that have been vaccinated the longest with two jabs and have their vaccine passport will be first. It will be worked on earliest jabs first and then moving forwards. If you are 80’+ you stand a really good chance of a ticket :) Can’t wait to see the Poznan! :)

That argument was lost when 10 teams were allowed fans back in December while the other 10 couldn't.
