Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST etc 2015/16 Season.

If we miss out on 4th spot which is a definate possibility then making top quality signings will be a lt harder.

Makes the timing of the price hikes a nightmare. I wouldn't want to pay top wack to watch some of the sh*te we have seen this season

When the owners came in they said we would be challenging the top clubs around the world. We are not even competing in our own league in the transfer market and on the pitch this season.

They have raised season ticket in East stand from approx 500 to 1100-1700, 3 years ago you could get a junior season ticket in East stand for £95. Arsenal have a massive following in Rich London, we are trying to attract new fans whilst raising season ticket prices to match Arsenals.

If we are not right at the top of the English game the i feel City will struggle to fill the stadium with the xtra seats. I know there are cheap tickets but not everyone wants to sit up on level 3 miles away from the pitch. I can't understand why anyone who wants to see a football match would sit virtually below pitch level.

1. Don't post when you're pissed.
2. If not pissed perhaps you should just not post especially after a loss.

There is so much wrong with your post (pretty much the entirety of it) that I couldn't be arsed correcting it.

I really really dont think we have the fanbase (or at least an affluent fanbase) to be filling these large corporate areas. Look at every game thats a sell out, still plenty of seats in the corporate parts.

I hope I'm wrong because no doubt some smart with a marketing degree on a 6figure salary has looked into it, I just doubt it.

I think you are probably right with regards the affluent fan base but I don't think the club want/need the new corporate seating to be taken up by City fans.

These will go to some of the big companies with offices in and around Manchester who will bring clients along for a day out. These people will spend much more on match day purchases than pretty much any regular match going fan and that's what the club are looking for IMO.

I currently sit in 242 and mine is going up by £20 to £800. I said to my dad when it breaks the £800 boundary then I'll be moving and he agrees so we're off to the new stand where we'll hopefully be paying £380. A huge difference and much needed saving for us.

You have to pay to watch the best lads, the money raised thru these increases keeps edin employed for a few months

As long as it is only months and not fucking years I can just about cope with that.

I think the hierarchy have some huge decisions to make with regard to MP `s situation.Do they stick or twist and possibly face the wrath of some fans with their non renewals.
It could be a massive financial disaster if we miss out on a CL place,thus not being able to attract some of the names mentioned as potential new players.

I think the potential sale of sergio would take at least 5k off the gates defeat to the rags next wknd and he has to go no doubt top 4 could depend on it!

No I wasn't pissed and i stand by what i said. The season ticket hike is bad but was sort of expected but they have brought in price rises of around 10-15% in the East stand for the last 3 years.

We have gone from being the dominant force over the last 3 years to also rans out of both cups by lower league opposition, attrocious performance at home to barca and absolute mediocrity most of the time in the league. We have gone backward each year which is now showing as the clubs along side us are starting to spend much more wiser.

I guess the comparison with Arsenal is a little off but we are a north west club were money is a factor to a lot of people. Yes I know you can get cheap tickets but if you ant to watch from the gods then it's up to you. I guess we'll see in the next few years if the owners have got it right.

I do hope they have as I've been a season ticket holder for nearly 40 years and wouldn't want 5000 empy seats at matches

I think there are about 600 seats in the new corporate area, I'm fairly sure that there are a lot more than 600 affluent City fans.
