Cos I’ve forked out train travel and the best they come up with is a free bus and back. The club didnt have to agree to the new date. I thought mcfc and virgin trains we’re partners and they still cant arrange us to get a refund.

They could of least arranged a later train like they did a few times a few seasons ago post the champions league games. Think it was called "City in the City" - It was about £50 return and they had the league cup was on it, a few legends, free programmes, free goodies including a phone charging block and we got express lane for Trams in Manchester. It left Manchester around half 10 and back in London half 12 - just do it the opposite way. Would be much quicker than buses...i cant remember if it was a dry train?

I have a feeling we (City hierarchy at the top) have our own plans for Etihad's expansion on the north stand side and we are only waiting to see when safe-standing goes ahead so we probably have two plans ready to go, one with safe-standing and one without (perhaps not too dissimilar to that of south stand) ... and City are just playing along nicely right now with the powers that be at Premier League and FA and other clubs so when and if our turn comes (although we'd never be this mismanaged under the current management and ownership) but just in case we need to run an expansion into the start of a season, we have these people on our side and not against us because in the larger scheme of things, agreeing to this one fixture here and now isn't much for City on the whole and also keeping in mind alternatives (of a fixture congestion at more crucial points in the season) ... so as Mourinho just recently quoted the German philosopher Hegel ... Truth is in the whole!

It was dry.

There’s no way of knowing for sure but it’s reasonable to assume that if the roles were reversed the FA would not be being as supportive of us if we were in Spurs predicament. Spurs have messed up big time and are inflicting problems far and wide which the FA seem to be actively assisting Spurs to sweep under the carpet.

I wonder if its all that nice money they are paying the FA to hire out Wembley is smoothing over any huge fuck ups they have made which has led to disruption for various sets of fans?

i honestly cannot understand why spurs were not made to play on the sunday at arsenals ground (if its because of pride - well tough titty !! ) roughly the same capacity as the new spurs ground so everyone could get in who wanted to , and the same travelling distance ? i will have to take at least 2 half days off work !!!

Fees to Wembley offsetting all the tax that Joe Lewis doesn’t pay to the HMRC.

I see your point but what about arsenal ? do they have a say in the matter ,why should they accommodate tott just because their arch enemy as ballsed it all up.

If it was us and the rags ,why should we have to help them out ( again ) just because of their incompetence.

I didn’t think about this. If City are planning on a one/two tier north stand, there’s bound to be closures and tight deadlines to be met for the expansion, very much like Spurs new stadium.
