The Captain on ticket prices

A telling comment ""You'll get stadiums filled with businessmen and tourists who leave the stadium 10 minutes the end to avoid traffic games. You lose atmosphere."

We must have a few already.
 
He's absolutely right and it's astonishing just how fucking small time the club are being over this.

Some seriously short-sighted, simple cunts making these decisions.
The players should be saying to the board "We want a full stadium for these games and we want noise and passion. That's more important to us than a few thousand quid." They were quick enough to shout when they didn't like the manager.

We do,our fan base has changed so much since 2008 and it is changing every year for the worse
 
Our Captain at his very best and I would assume that the club have approved that statement. It could be an indicator that our prices are not going up next season.

An honest, informed opinion yes but not necessarily one which would be endorsed by the board.
I hope this is not indicative of growing gulf between club and captain.
 
To be fair as much as Kompany is right and is a great lad why don't the players all chip in and subsidise the fans expenses if they value the support that much? That would be a lovely gesture and would be pocket change to them..

Just saying.. As the club is the enemy here but how about our heroes do a bit more? It's easy saying words

At the end of the day The club is a business and as such has specific targets to meet. So Ideally yeah cheaper tickets would be nice but this is modern football.
The club is about to get £81m a season from the TV deal. They could give every SeasonCard away for free and still be well up on profits!
 
The club want tourists and corporates. They want families who will visit the club shop and treat the matchday as a family day out, spending on souvenirs and over priced food. They don't want the working class bloke who turns up with his mates, spends fuck all apart from a pie and a pint at half time and fucks off as soon as the game is over. It's the latter who has kept the club going and the club couldn't give a fuck about them now.

The reason they can't is because the players and agents will want the lot. It is okay VK speaking up when he is is over the hill and not likely to get another mega deal.

And they'll wonder why the atmosphere is fucking shite. Cunts. When will he realise that we aren't fucking Barcelona?
