As an old misery guts of many years standing (Kippax )Who has only missed one home game in about 20 years (Hamburg couldnt get a ticket ) just say we did get 70,000 a week. Fantastic. We get to Wembley. Brilliant. Tickets go on sale. Excitement mounts.FA turn round and give us 50 tickets. The corporates get 80,000.
Every bloody year we get two teams in a Final and every year we know there is not enough to go round. Lots of moaning and wringing of hands. Nothing is ever done. Remember Gillingham ? Both teams got the same amount of tickets. Gillingham averaged 6000 a week.They found another 20,000 fans from somewhere. If the tickets had been sold just to City fans the stadium would have been full.
We have the support to fill 70,000 but how many would we keep if they couldnt get to see the big games. I know i would be pissed if we got to the Champions League Final ( please God ) and couldnt get a ticket because some johnnycomelately got one instead of me.
So I think we should reduce the size of our stadium, so I can get the ticket I deserve.
