News for you, City have a website which includes match ticket info!

read the post ,if we have over 40,000 season card holders , you would think we would piss selling 32,000 fa cup semi final tickets , never even occurred our supporters would turn their backs on this game , and what time i do spend following city on this interweb thingyme bob , i spend on Bluemoon , not the MCFC website that wants to sell me the latest in City casual wear , comprende ?
 
What a fucking non story this is! So with three days still to sell tickets we only have, whichever story you believe, either 1500 or 2000 tickets unsold. So we have sold at least 31000 tickets, for a game over 200 miles away, on a Sunday when traveling is a nightmare with reduced and extended train times and roadworks, with the London marathon thrown in for good measure. You couldn't make it up! Arsenal sold out.....Wow some achievement that when it is on their doorstep! The fan's should be congratulated not slated! Oh.......And unless I have missed something.........It could STILL sell out!!

You're right. Be interesting how many tens of thousands arsenal would bring up here if both teams equally split the capacity for a semi at old trafford for example.
 
The comments on that daily fail article are hillarious. The top 4 who are slagging our fans are either from a different country or a southern based rag. Brainwashed the lot of them. Even if we had half the fans there than arsenal have I would bet we would still make twice the noise they do.

I reckon it will still sell out. You always get loads of blues who hover until the last minute, then get talked into going or are offered a lift, or panic and scramble for a ticket.

No offence Bluemoon forum but, there are more adverts on here trying to sell me stuff than on the City website so, no comprende!

Agreed , but a rather smart Polo shirt is far more tempting than a loan from Wonga.
 
Papers reporting City are on Sunday because the BBC had first crack at the semis and picked Chelsea-Spurs, so that game became the Sat afternoon game.

Once again, FANS not even a second thought in football.

I wonder how big the TV contract would be if fans didn't pack every ground for every game, and the TV games showed no passionate fans and empty stadiums every week. TV is important, but sooner or later, common sense will have to return to the game.
I'm delighted to see you and I are on the same page again.

One day the FA and PL will turn round and see empty grounds and the folly of their attitude to match-going fans will be laid bare. But by then it will be too late.
 
Anyone with a purchase history can now buy ,so just bought 4 tickets together very surprised they have gone on open sale , and a lot of blues probably havent realised they can now purchase , why havent the club been pro-active and contacting supporters on their data base ? Quite sure there are a couple of thousand like myself who never thought would qualify to buy a ticket. Unfortunately i am a jinx my last few Wembley trips were Wigan , Arsenal , Rags (both charity shield) Chavs (full members cup) and Spuds (FA Cup final replay) so my 100% losing record has to change , apologies in advance.

True but that's for Cityzen members, non Cityzen members with purchase history can only buy 1 ticket, maybe that's one of the problems, considering they are at the back of the queue and members have had plenty of time to snap up tickets, they should have have allocated non members with purchase history 2 tickets, because tell the truth I wouldn't fancy travelling down to Wembley on my todd.
 
How about the clowns who sit around in our so called 'Media Dept' get on the blower to the Daily Mail and tell them to keep the hell away from the Club ,all news content is now embargoed to them,and if that Mike 'Rag' Keegan comes within a mile of the ground we'll kick his ass down Ashton New Rd.

Totally agree, been saying this for years.

All the good that City do in the local community and the way we've innovated in so many areas yet the media largely ignore the many positives and focus on negative shite which is made up most of the time. Yet we welcome the ****s with open arms. Ferguson on the other hand banned who he wanted when he wanted including the whole British Broadcasting Corporation and still the ****s fawn over him.

If there is a strategy within the media dept, it isn't working.

Many of those 40,000 buy their season card purely to allow them a fornightly trip to the Etihad. They don't travel. Once a season for a cup final is their limit.

Agree as posted earlier, another rant now, Wembley.: Wether it's for Champions League games or when new stadiums are being built why the fuck are the big London based clubs namely Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea allowed to use Wembley ? This is a benefit that no other clubs outside the Souhern area of the country can benefit from due to travelling distances. This suits Wembley as it helps pay of the enormous costs of building a stadium that trebled in price during its construction and the clubs then increased their revenue due to its 80k capacity. Is it our national stadium or just a for hire venue. Suprised that other clubs haven't complained about this.

London based clubs could argue that they never get a day out with thousands of their own.
I think the problem we have is the day its being played , not where we are playing it

This tie should have been the Saturday game. Yes it's disruptive to get back after midnight for young kids but the Sunday they'll catch up.
Playing on Sunday will have put numerous parents off going. And there's those who wont go without their kids. Fair enough in my opinion.

Kids! Who'd have em....

Things have changed a bit on that front.

Back in 81

me...."are we going the replay dad?"

Him "your not"

Me "why"

him "school"

Me "are you not going?"

Him "of course I am!"
 
Although Sunday travel isn't great I would argue a 5 pm kick off on a Saturday would be worse for those travelling by train. I seem to remember the last train to Manchester from Euston on a Saturday was 9 pm making it very tight if not impossible to catch after the game even if it finished after 90 minutes.
