I sat down with my wife at the beginning of January to go through when City were playing and at the end of it she said, "you have got to be kidding!" And that could have been worse with an FA Cup replay too.
These days, people have huge commitments with families, not just financially. The wife was quite right to point out that going to the match every 3 days was just not on, with the way we have to look after the kids & both working.
Something has to give.

Maybe I wouldn't have had a go had you just used the words "some of" before "our fans", because they way you've written it, suggests all of those not going.Scotty76 said:cleavers said:Its gard for quite a lot who don't have kids too, what I was getting at is its unfair you judging others who you know nothing about.Scotty76 said:I did point out that it's hard for people with kids.
Which I'm not doing, I'm clearly having a go at those that make excuses that are shite...
I see someone out all over xmas, then using the prices as an excuse. I think that's poor. My opinion, you don't have to like it.

True it is expensive but how many on here went out on the lash this weekend just gone blowing a ton-ton fifty on a boozy weekend. Sorry it's called sacrifices and it's Man city in a semi final. For fucks sake I would have only dreamt of this many years ago.
I have children.I have a mortgage,I have bills as everyone. I don't smoke and I rarely drink.
City is my drug and my passion.Not sinking another pint on a Saturday night and then slating the club for their incorrect pricing policy. What a load of fucking bollocks some so called fans spout on here. If it was a Champions league semi...would you go...Course you fucking would. It's purely and simply because it's the Carling cup.
Well to all the stay aways who can't be arsed.YOU ARE A DISGRACE.
Yep you're right, I did mean some of our fans... I've total respect and understanding for those that just can't do it... But it's the others that I've pointed out that piss me off.cleavers said:Maybe I wouldn't have had a go had you just used the words "some of" before "our fans", because they way you've written it, suggests all of those not going.Scotty76 said:cleavers said:Its gard for quite a lot who don't have kids too, what I was getting at is its unfair you judging others who you know nothing about.

Like I said people can make their own choices, they didn't ask you to be the judge. City isn't the only thing in everyone's life, maybe having a social life outside City is also important to some.
