There appeared to be a lot of fans who all coincidentally were 'lucky' with the 'ballot'

I had to wait 15 minutes for somebody to let me in as the phone tocket didn't work, I couldn't care less. Personally I didn't see any covid failures thought the club did a great job.So we don’t mention that the primary goal of getting supporters in and out of the ground in accordance with Covid regulations spectacularly failed, then?
I had a great time in the stadium but the fact is the measures the club put in place to get us in and out safely didn’t work. If you were someone who wanted to abide by strict social distancing rules then you would have been very disturbed by yesterday. It made any other steps they took fucking pointless.

In my experience the staff are usually brilliant. You can't blame them for the tech. They were excellent yesterday. I think some of our fanbase (including myself on occasions) have a tendency to be like spoiled brats. This is a magnificent time to be a City fan. It will never be bettered. No wonder other fans are jealous of us. We just need to "drink it in and lap it up."Well said. According to some on here the staff are s*** & the club f*** up at every turn :). :) :)

Then you missed the point I made in my first post. The system wasn’t uniform around the ground so people in the South Stand were directed to Alan Turing Way and hundreds were crammed into several queues inside barriers with NO distancing possible. That alone made everything else they did a complete and utter load of bollocks. Same applies to the crush exiting after the Sergio presentation.I had to wait 15 minutes for somebody to let me in as the phone tocket didn't work, I couldn't care less. Personally I didn't see any covid failures thought the club did a great job.

I think we can all agree, can’t do that again if the capacity was raised to 20,000.Yep I agree with all that. Why give us all specific times and gate numbers to then turn up at the ground and all have to enter via one point and be herded together with absolutely no social distancing at all? Took me 30 minutes to get in and as you say the tickets didn’t work at the turnstiles once you finally got there!
Absolute shambles to be fair, I don’t know how such a ‘well run club’ can make such a balls up of something that would appear to be so simple.

He seems to have upset a few Liverpool fans if that gets him any credit. It’s poor that the likes of Burnham got a ticket but it’s what I expected.How many points has he got?

Exactly. We need to celebrate the fact we support a magnificent club that has great team spirit; great players; great manager & loyal genuine fans ......and we’ve won the league AGAIN :)

Had no issues getting in. Arrived early and apart from having to trek to the Commonwealth Way entrance, it was the same as normal. Flashed with the beeping wand and let through.
The only thing that pissed me off was the half time mobile app virtual penalty shootout. That can get in the bin.

There are always local dignitaries at games - he’s the mayor of Manchester. Just happens not to be a blue

Mayor of Manchester eh? Never knew that. Thought he was some random Evertonian allowed in off the streets.There are always local dignitaries at games - he’s the mayor of Manchester. Just happens not to be a blue

Just coincidence then that we happened to be playing his team ?

Thought so
There will have been plenty of guests in the best seats who didn't pay and to be fair he is the mayor of the organisation that owns the stadium !!He seems to have upset a few Liverpool fans if that gets him any credit. It’s poor that the likes of Burnham got a ticket but it’s what I expected.

probably not
There were always going to be issues yesterday that affected some fans negatively.
New systems seldomly work perfectly on their first outing. Think the club should be cut some slack under the circumstances though understandably those caught up in any issues will be within their rights to be a bit pissed off.
Personally, being able to attend in the first place would have been enough for me to be happy even if their were many hoops to jump through to get there.
Also, it gets a bit tedious reading the shit Noel Gallagher gets from some blue. Proper bitter sounding tinged with a fair amount of jealousy. Not a good trait to have.

Ah, didn't realise it was just a random Landlord inspection.
In which case of course he is allowed to be there, just a shame that none of the four season ticket holders in my household were.
