Ticket Prices

Pep moans about the atmosphere, but what do you do when the real fans are priced out of the game? The Derby at home there were 50 plus Chinese fans sat around me, why did the club change the points system to anyone who gets a citizen membership get a ticket? The club have fucked the loyal fans over and chased the money, so maybe Pep should shut his mouth and call the owners out not the fans, but he won't because he is earning millions a year

Teach the Chinese fans our songs. Ask them to shout and sing.
Tell your friends and family to buy tickets

We became that club when season card holders were forced out of seats they'd held for many years to make room for anyone with money to burn.

It's only about money.

I'm all for tourists but not at the expense of locals.

If you watch the goals against spuds, you see the first few rows in the East stand are not celebrating, just pointing their phones as the players run over to the stand.

I don’t like corporate areas but they help to pay for affordable seats in other areas if the ground. I have been shifted twice.

The first time season card holders were told to vacate their seats was to make room for the Family Stand, with fair priced tickets. There weren’t many complaints as most Blues recognised we had to get more young Blues in to the ground.

The Tunnel Club evictions came later but there was a sweetener of a couple of years in 93:20, at the same prices people had been paying.

The writing was on the wall with East Stand Level 2 and Colin Bell Level 2 being made largely Premium and Corporate seats. It is always unpleasant to be force to move seats but I don’t think the ESL2 and CBL2 changes had much impact on the atmosphere. For example, the area where the Kits Bar is iwas like a library for donkeys.
 
The problem isnt just at the Etihad the majority of the Premier league has tourists present at games , our pre-match light show is nauseatingly plastic , our game is being Americanised , we will be having time outs , three periods of play instead of a game of to halves , games played in Middle East and America , its ALL about the money and with more Yank owners they will be wanted a bigger return on their investment.
There are going to be massive changes in the future and the game of football will be unrecognisable form 60's when i started watching matches at Maine Rd.
Its called progress and nothing is going to stop the money men forming super leagues and promoting super stars , and making a game of football the equivalent of a rock concert or the theatre , the razzamataz and the entertainment value will be upper most.
Not going to critcise the transition from watching Mike Doyle cut people in half and muck and nettles football to some of the present day diving ballerina's , i am and old f*cker who i believe has seen the best years , but maybe other " legacy " fans have think the same
Another long winded rant , apologies , but after a few brandy's , i really shouldnt be near a keyboard :)
