Sorry, Not Sorry...

I admire those who stay glued to their sofas right to the end at great personal inconvenience

Yea 10 30 am or 7 30 for the early match if I'm lucky the match will start at 11 am ..even if I'm drunk the night before and fall asleep at 4 am I always wake up for the match no matter what..even on 3,4 hours sleep I'm up supporting city my girlfriend doesn't know how I do it

I can't believe it either. Just so were clear here as I may be misunderstanding what your saying. Your dedication towards City is that high you sometimes get up at 10.30am, 7.30am, 9am etc to watch a match? I honestly can't believe you sacrifice that much.

That is correct every match I'm tuned in no matter how early I have to get up..my girlfriend hates it when we're on 4 hours sleep from the night before and my alarm goes off at 7 30 and I just jump out of bed with my cotton mouth my girlfriend wakes up for one minute says "are you really going to watch it now" and the only response she gets is seeing my back out the door with Dzeko on my back or silva shirt depending on my mood

I bet you sometimes have to stay in bed the next day until 1-2pm to catch up on your lack of sleep.

I definitely do if City have a Saturday game Sunday I sleep in until around that time 1 or 2 o'clock but the only thing that's tough is if City play on Sunday I get no sleep on the weekend because I play 11 v 11 football Saturday mornings (only if city aren't playing at that time)

Surely not, getting up early both days during the weekend? Especially if you have to get up as early as 10am that is crazy.

That's what my girlfriend says..but if city play Saturdays then I have Sundays to sleep ..I'm not one of these people that wake up early everyday active..it's a real sacrifice but I love city and I love football

How you can balance waking up at 7 AND having a girlfriend is beyond me!

If you want a bite Eddie don't do it on April 1st.

If you want a bite Eddie don't do it on April 1st.

But it ain't April 1st yet over here in either the USofA nor Canada!

It's all about priorities.

Eddie like his late nights, whilst sacrificing his time in bed for City. Good on you Eddie.

City need to encourage affordable football to a new generation of fans.

Whether congregating the supposed kids together with parents is a good idea remains to be seen. What is for certain is the club should monitor non attendance of child tickets (very easy and currenty done as card data stored on entry) and those that don't fulfill at least 15 of the 19 fixtures are forced to renew the child's ticket the following year at full adult's price.

This would discourage 100's of parents buying tickets at £105 to let their kids attend perhaps 6-8 'GLAMOUR' fixtures whilst having the seat empty for the majority of the season.

It would also reduce the size of stand needed, and as has already been mentioned on here, perhaps they could be moved to the South Stand and the whole of the North Stand goes as Safe Standing.

SCRAP THE FAMILY STAND.

Good idea and good thinking in some parts, it worked for a bit. Now it doesn't.

Don't need kids entertainment and the rest, there is enough on citysquare and other activities.

I said from day one it would happen. Started well, faded out in no time. Always had it's weaknesses. Same old story...

Stops fans from getting seats cause they aren't with a child.
Night games = rows of empty seats
Weekend games = rows of empty seats

It's embarrassing.

I sit in the family stand with my kids. I wouldn't be bothered if the idea of it being a family stand was scrapped as we were season ticket holders there before it became the family stand. But if you think it is going to save your "embarrassment" of there being empty seats I think your mistaken. We can see thousands of empties all around the ground. Even in our famous singing section, which by the way gets outsung by every single set of away fans (apart from the rags). Now that is embarrassing especially when Wigan and Fulham have usually come in a taxi! We also stay to the end to support our team and applaud them off when most of the rest of the ground have left in the fire drill so they can be home for Ant and Dec.
