All this sort of makes not really care if we don't finish in the top 4 as we'll just be ripped off even more next season in the CL?
You can go on your account on mcfc and take yourself off the cup scheme.We need to send a message to the club, otherwise this will just become normal.
If (IF!) we get through, the Semi tickets will be £75/£80!!
Could we all cancel the direct debits with our banks? The club would shit themselves on Tuesday when the Cup Scheme subscribers - who they have already accounted for, and taken advantage of - reject the payments.
So anyone who has an opposing view to you is a 'disgustingly smug twat' or an 'arrogant ****'? Nice, don't let the door hit you on the way out.Well said girlbob. Some disgustingly smug twats on here. I hope they enjoy it when the person next to them interrupts them eating their quiche or prawn & avocado sandwich to ask which team is City and would they mind taking a picture of them. My club has become everything I've hated about the rags over the years and some of our so-called fans are rapidly turning into the sort of arrogant cunts who occupy the swamp. I'm not sure I want to be part of it any more.
What the fuck are you on about? You keep banging the drum for 2015-16 season ticket renewal as if it's the important thing negating to use you brain to understand that people already priced out City weren't renewing. Those poor fuckers now have to pay £60 for a Chelsea ticket.
Yes we get sell outs (just about) but that's the way the club want it to be. They know that in business it's better to have 98% uptake than oversubscription on the supply/demand curve to get the best cost benefit. The fact they are thinking like that and pricing out the working class families says it all.
Keep your blinkers on all you want. Defend the board all all you wish. But all is shows is how much of a fuck you don't give about tens of thousands that can no longer enjoy the match, with their mates and young ones, like they could ten years ago. And for what? £6m on the accounts. Now compare what we've spent on some questionable players since the take over and realise how stupid it is.
If there was like button I would like the shit out of this postThis is a great post, and it's an issue I and @Prestwich_Blue have raised in other threads.
We'll probably get an attendance of 40,000, each paying an average of £55, that's £2.2m in revenue. We could have a full house of 55,000 paying £35 and get £1,925,000 in revenue. A rocking atmosphere, loads of Blues who don't normally get the chance to come and see us every week, could be a big turning point for fans who haven't really got on board with the Champions League, make it an occasion to remember.
The difference in revenue is less than Yaya Toure's weekly wage. But the difference in price for Blues, especially those on lower incomes or with young families, is huge. But the club don't really give a toss about that. They're looking at the £275k of additional revenue and thinking that's the only thing that matters. Fuck the fans in one of the most deprived districts of the country. Fuck the loyalty they have showed over the last 40 odd years, let's alienate tens of thousands of them in order to increase revenue by the equivalent of 1% of Wilfred Bony's transfer fee.
The board have deliberately put a wedge between itself and our fans in the last few years so that they can squeeze every last penny out of us and feel no way about it.
In the past we had Garry Cook attending supporters club meetings. Of course he was not universally popular, but no one could ever accuse him of not giving a toss about the fans. There used to be the "Points of Blue" meetings, where issues such as ticket prices could be raised to the board. Not any more.
The closest we get to redress now is the club questionnaires. They used to be fairly detailed and gave you ample opportunity to express your grievances, now they are an insult to intelligent people everywhere. You get about 6 questions, all of which are written in a leading tone to push you in to giving them the feedback they want to hear. I had the PSG questionnaire through the other day, and match day prices were not even mentioned! As if the club assumed there was universal acclaim for their pricing structure!
The club does not want to hear bad news and negative feedback from the fans, so it has cut all lines of communication for fans to give honest feedback.
Agree with every line of that.This is a great post, and it's an issue I and @Prestwich_Blue have raised in other threads.

The point is that tickets for the game at Norwich were £50 and people are saying that £55 for a CL QF is reasonable compared to that. But £50 to go to Norwich is NOT reasonable in any way, shape or form. £30 is reasonable for a game like that and therefore £40 would be a reasonable top price for the PSG match. In other words, the price they asked for the Kiev game would be more suitable.Was looking at some old away tickets I'd saved and there was a home ticket in there at £35.00 for a derby in 2006. That's our highest cat game and it was in the East stand.
Ten years later and you'd be lucky to pay that against Norwich.
