OJ Blue said:OP has a point which is similar to the one I made last week.
I don't have a problem with Cup Schemers getting priority or kids getting in with parents etc. but the kick in the bollox is the Cup Schemers getting priority ABOVE people with more loyalty points, this is different to the criteria set out in 2011 hence why people are kicking off.
What's the saying? 'Until the pips squeak'?
Got us by the bollox from here on in, the snidey ploy is to get more ST holders on the Cup Schemes next season, more like THEM every day.

Buy a cheaper season ticket, spend the saving on platinum, enroll in the cup scheme and go to the fucking FA cup games. Its all in your own hands."Sort it out" for yerself.Santiago Street . said:I pay about £650 for my ST, don't go away much, aint a points whore so I bought gold not platinum and as such I only have about 3500 points.
How fucking poor is it that people in my boat who've forked out £650 aren't guaranteed a semi final ticket yet some little spoilt Hooray Henry who's been to 1 or 2 games where he spends most of his time playing on his ipod can jump the queuee based on nothing more than some marketing exec's plan to "enhance the brand" by attracting bourgeois parents prepared to overindulge their offspring to the nth degree. So I'll have to splurge probably the best part of £500 sorting a ticket for the semi and god willing the final
Plenty of people bigging up City's role in the community, funding colleges, building footy pitches in East LA (ffs) etc but as the old adage goes charity begins at home which in a football club's case should mean the fans who've been there through the hard times. I'm lucky that I can afford to pay over the odds occasionally for special occasions but how many thousands of dyed in the wool blues are there who are missing out on the glory days by what seems like an almost deliberate campaign to ostracise working class fans from City
People will no doubt counter with the old "our prices are amongst the cheapest in the PL" argument. The cheapest Bentley in the showroom is still fucking dear.
Sort it out City before we have a ground full of chablis sipping, Leica clicking, Guardian reading consumers, there only to be entertained. And people wonder why the atmosphere's bobbins these days.

Barcon said:Fuck me, I remember having to stick vouchers on a sheet that you got in the first program of the season. We used to go to reserve games and get the programs because we couldn't afford to go to away games. At the end of the day, it was a lottery.
