I remember when there was pitch invasion at Maine Rd after a Cup tie and then trouble afterwards in the car park. Kippax was in the process of being rebuilt thenthe old abbey said:Wots with the lets stick up for villa mugs on ere.big time overated club.were u nerds there at maine rd when they laughed when lakey did his knee again in the early 90s.doubt it.horrible club.
City aren't angels. No football club is
Marvin said:Season ticket prices are still cheap in my opinion. It's the match day prices that are ridiculous and that hits the away fans and the Cup crowds. I'm expecting season ticket prices to go up again next season and I don't really mind too much as long as it's not ridiculous.mayo31 said:fathellensbellend said:why would they increase 5%, the next tv deal is going to net all clubs an addition 20 million or so.
In the last two seasons my ticket has gone up from £420 to £460 just on the gold scheme. That is £ 20 a year which is close to 5%. If you add the £50 platinum fee the price would be up by over 15%.
The same will happen next season no matter what tv deal we have.
I agree, I think our season card prices are really good value. I was just using it as a point that city won't cap their prices to see if others will follow.
Excellent strategy using the added points to get people to pay £50 extra per season for the platinum. Some have not realised the actual increase, they see it as a bonus.
It probably is for some as it enabled access to away tickets but really it increased the amount of points needed to be first in the queue.

I've always been a strong critic of FFP. Difference is, I realised, from the very very start, that it drew the shutters down behind us, not in front of us. Meanwhile, clubs like Arsenal, Everton, Villa, the clubs who are bitter for our success, were loving it, not realising what it might mean, potentially mean (in Arsenal's case) for them.Marvin said:It is a rubbish turnout no disguising that
But behind there's a trend
And deep down we know where we were going under Pearce. Imagine there'd been no takeover and we had somehow survived in the Premiership, I don't think we'd be taking many more than a 1,000 away now. We have hope now. We have great players to watch. The reality is that we are the haves, and the Villas are the have nots. Football is very much divided now. And FFP is going to rubber stamp that divide forever. Clubs like Villa are going to shrivel. Sure some will prosper under good management like Moyes, but it will gradually dawn on a lot of fans that they will never ever win anything.
It's ticket prices, and it's an awful lot more. The extreme difficulty for even big City clubs like Villa to compete. had we not got Financial Fair Play coming in, then owners like Lerner might consider investing in their club. Now it's pointless. The sad thing is this has not really dawned on fans at the other clubs

not that vast pre takeover.
reduced allocations all over london.
places like blackburn/bolton and wigan all had thousands of empty seats at different times, for many reasons, the most common being cost.
we seem to be forgetting the truth somewhere along the line here.

Genuine question because I don't know the answer. If they're made available to City fans, how much will they be? If under £40, that's rubbing Villa's nose in it a little I think.

Well the way you are expressing it comes across a double extreme arrogance mate.. Who do you mean when you say Villa, the club, the fans, some of the fans, all of the fans, just the fans you come across?
I'll assume for a moment that you refer to the ones you come into contact with, you couldn't possibly know them all. Maybe it's the ones you interact with on forums, in which case what do you think if they looked on here and saw posts like yours above?
It's a pretty safe bet some of them would leave with the thought that City fans are mouthy wankers who don't like Villa and even slag off their own fans for not agreeing with them.
Your post above epitomises the arrogance you accuse them of.

it's not sticking up for villa, it's sticking up for the dying breed in football, the away fan.
have you noticed how few teams sell out at city these days, clubs like sunderland and newcastle, teams who have taken 10k plus to maine road, now darent even take the full allocation.

Already on sale at £40 (£24 U16). Also extra seats released in neighbouring blocks as segregation no longer required.Franny Lee's Barrel Chest said:Genuine question because I don't know the answer.

They'll probably just about sell out before KO. There's about 550 seats available I reckon (1,700 /3)
On the plus side there'll be loads of City, one of the biggest ever home supports at the Etihad
