What City need to do is constantly miver their best Friends in Hospitality & ticket agencies.
Put the pressure on.
Explain that as a club they have always sucked and swallowed for you and given you first dabs at the big games United/Liverpool/Arsenal etc and will gradually push loyal long term supporters out of the way for you, but come on guys, start taking up tickets for the shitty games - meet us half way because the normal matchgoing fans have clicked on City only need them when ticket sales are really poor
Us normal fans are just Sloppy Seconds for the club. They only want us at 2am once all the pretty girls have rejected them
