If I had to pay that much I`d expect a fooking pint in Summerbees as a freebie also, whilst the traffic died down.
They might get that I don't know, but nobody HAS to pay that much. There will be people willing to pay that if they think the perks are worth it, as I say I haven't bothered looking, but I'm sure the club have done some research and aren't just plucking these things out of thin air.

No, its a complete guess, really can't see this regime doing their homework.blueparrot said:I'm sure the club have done some research and aren't just plucking these things out of thin air.

I hope it is not the same market researchers who contributed to the City Square and Forever Blue concepts!

This article highlights how much people are being pushed to the financial limit;
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-saving-tips/11031461/League-table-of-Premier-League-season-ticket-costs.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/pers ... costs.html</a>
And for individual match-goers, Man City fans fork out the most at around £44 for a home game (£41 for Chelsea home fans).
How much will a match day ticket be now???
I've not bought a membership as I'd go to 3-4 matches a season now I'm a dad. I don't care what match I'd watch, but I'm not paying £25+ for a membership on top of the £45-60 odd ticket price, never mind take a 4yo and pay his membership too.
Our dearest seasoncard last season was £860... it's now £1,750. ONE SEVEN FIVE ZERO. Disgusting. The dearest seasoncard outside London. Even the rags, kings of being bastards to their fans, are left in our wake.
And of course PITCH SIDE.... dearer than the £299??? You won't even be able to see the ball on the ground.
I've brought quite a few to City square over the last 3 years, and to a person they've loved the concept of it, and its pretty well unique to City.ManCityX said:ped said:city square is very popularTim of the Oak said:I hope it is not the same market researchers who contributed to the City Square and Forever Blue concepts!
Yep. Don't get the City Square hate at all. It's one of the best 'fan' things the club has done.
