Return of Supporters

But could at Wembley a few weeks ago when the Covid situation was worse and fewer people had been vaccinated.

But to get into Wembley you had to show proof of a negative covid test taken within 24 hours prior to the match. So you trusted that the person near you was 'clear'.

The Everton match however has none of that safety. You don't need to take a test...
So it makes sense to keep fans as sober as possible.

Probably a lot of bullshit..but if real..then those that have sold these tickets on need to be found, named, shamed and banned from City for life.

I’ve not read most of the thread. Is this true? Where was this information ?

In the confirmation email there is a link to a video clip explaining what to expect on match day. At the end it says food and drink will be on sale but no alcohol

Despite the ballot information earlier this week giving a print at home option, the email they send says it is now phone only entry.

Also they sent the health questionnaire to your phone too, good luck with that.

Right I will be on to customer services, buggered if I am going out to buy a new mobile phone just so I can go to a football match.

This 100%.

So I assume you’ll both be standing for election?

People are behaving like spoiled kids. I've been to loads of interviews where I've had no feedback and they've maybe interviewed 5 or 6 people only. Or have applied for jobs that maybe 200 others applied for and had no feedback.

I think it's piss poor when you've been for an interview but I'm not going to get worked up about not getting feedback from an application. I just accept it and get on with life. We're talking about maybe 50-60k here so I understand why the club can't contact all those who haven't been successful.

And i've not had an email, so I'm neither getting a ticket nor on the reserve list. So all those who accused me and City Matters of looking after ourselves had it wrong. Had it been done on points then probably the majority of us with seasoncards would have got tickets. As it turns out, it seems only one has. So if we fiddled it to suit ourselves, we did a piss poor job.

With the greatest respect, what a load of shite that analogy is.

We're, (the club) I say we're but it's never been more obvious the divide from the club to the idiots that pay their money and turn up every week, a multi national highly successful company to almost defend the fact they've not been arsed to send out a 'sorry you were unsuccessful' email is beyond my comprehension.

I don't for one minute think you and the other City Matters reps are in it for yourselves but surely there comes a point where even you have to agree the club has fucked up.

I'm not arsed about going to the Everton game I've said since the start of this pandemic shitshow I'd only go back when everyone could but I applied because my 2 season ticket holding kids wanted to go, I was unsuccessful so what that's life, but to not even be worth an email is shocking yet not totally unexpected from City.

Hope everyone who got one enjoys the day, I'll be back next season, boris willing

Wasn't successful in the ballot, a shame but not gonna woman about it and happy for those that did.

If you have been a paid up Season card holder you deserved to be in the ballot, luck of the draw how many years that SC was though and if you were successful, I don't cry if I buy 20 raffle ticket and someone who buy one wins it, thats life amd lady luck.

Thought about this now, so my view those with points, get to games many of us can’t, cup finals , away games, whatever,.as they should I. have no issue.
This time a cross section of fans have been given a chance to go to a restricted game, just this once as a one off I think some of those unfortunate not to go despite high points while understandably disappointed could be a bit more magnanimous, as many have been.

This is how I feel too. Continuous season ticket since the eighties, had one in the seventies, but nowhere near enough points, regard myself a loyal supporter and didn't get a ticket. Not sure why us unsuccessful in the ballot haven't received an email though.

Same as me, except I got one and feel fortunate, and at first a little guilty. Then thought I have nowhere near the points as some, was a season tocket holder in 70 s and most of the 80 s, as a cityzen matchday buyer for the last 30 years, but estimate I have about 500 - 600 games under my belt, but not a big points total, so I’m comfortable with getting my chance.
As you say an e- mail to those not successful would be good, just a thought maybe that will go out after Monday when the reserves have had a chance.

Thank fuck it is a meaningless game.

Imagine the backlash etc if a trophy was on the line.
