Once they find out who the Blues who can't afford to pay £6 on a Pie are.... doesn't matter how much you sing or how long you've watched City for.
You're out the door replaced by the prawn sandwich brigade.
Swan foie gras blinis might do the trick. I might drop the club a line.
But are they not contractors that do this, we would have to take over the catering and betting business ourselves to introduce something like thatcleavers said:I'm sure this conversation has been had already. United have been running their finances like this for years, it certainly won't have gone un-noticed in Manchester.Millwallawayveteran1988 said:Only a matter of time before the club find out who is buying what.........
I can see the discussion now around a table at the end of the season.
"let's take Mr Bluehalli for example, he spends £600 a year on his ST and has had one for 20 odd years.....problem is he doesn't spend any money when he is there and however much we try to tempt him with tasty Jamie Oliver pies, he just won't bite!!"
"compare him to Mr G hunter who visits us 4 times a year, spending on average £100 a visit......if only we could fill the ground with more G Hunters......that seat would be giving us £1900 a year......that's the challenge team, get onto it!"
At the moment they don't really know what (if anything) anyone buys, as its not linked to your customer number, but I'm sure there will come a day when it is. My guess is that they will introduce some kind of "City" money, to replace cash, which you will have to load your card with, and then any purchases will be made using your card, and so they can track exactly what you (do or don't) purchase.

lol, it's just relevant to Football ain't it. Roy Keane is a twat but had a point with his comments about their home fans.
I will be priced out of the stadium in a few seasons. I had issues with this but now I've come to accept it.
Enjoy.
I hope not mate. The club needs to be careful about alienating its sore fanbase, which any more steep increase in pricing would accelerate. We need to get new fans onboard, but the club would lose its identity if that was their only objective. There's a balance to strike between old and new fans and I hope they realise this. Time will tell, I guess.Why Always Ste said:I will be priced out of the stadium in a few seasons. I had issues with this but now I've come to accept it.
