As someone who is on the cup scheme I'm thankful that I avoided the chaos of the past couple of days but at the same time I have a huge amount of empathy with those who were inconvenienced by systems crashing and the baffling decision - I'm stopping short of calling it a cynical ploy to get more fans to sign up to the cup scheme next season as I believe it was probably a naive cock-up - to allow ST holders to buy more than one ticket. I don't think this is the time to be turning on each other as plenty of fans have literally wasted hours of their spare time trying to get tickets for this game and that's something that shouldn't be happening. Not everyone can join the cup scheme due to issues surrounding cost and getting to the matches. I don't think that makes people a lesser blue than me - I've got mates who are on the cup scheme and mates who are not but we've all put in some hard yards following City down the years and just because they can't get to as many games as me these days it doesn't make me a better fan. If I had the same responsibilities that some of them have and they had mine it would be the other way round and they'd be attending more games than me.
Good luck to everyone that can apply from 2pm.
