What happened to our owners looking after us, not charging top prices, care for the fans, what a load of bollocks.
Will still pay the money but it has left a bad taste in my mouth and will leave a hole in my wallet just before christmas...
Have you been watching City home and away for long?? Ive paid £30-40 for a number of away games over the past few years. I remember paying £35 to watch us draw to fucking Derby on a freezing wednesday night not long ago and £40 watching us get beat to Reading on a monday night.
The people moaning seem to be fairly new to the football club or blinded by the owners wealth. Look at the price of season cards for example. It costs me around £20 a game to watch City at home this year but im not deluded enough to think my season card will be anywhere near that in the coming seasons. The difference is im prepared to pay it because lets be honest the going rate for a half decent premier league game is gonna set you back £35-50 easily.
I understand people have families but you have to realise that this is a business so if your gonna get your knickers in a twist about paying £40 for a semi final then your best off thinking about watching Bury or Stockport next season because your going to be dissapointed season upon season.
Totally agree, for a Cup SF £40 isn't a bad price. I'm sure the club would have liked to drive it down further but if the rags dug their heels in that's that, if it had gone to arbitration we'd probably have ended up paying top category League prices, which were £46 for Chelsea last Saturday in the East and West stands. Some people have been spoilt by the very low prices for the earlier rounds.
