What a daft thing to say, these people aren't being forced to come to the game they wanted to come, how can it be City making money ? The fact that anyone who had a ticket in there is now getting £20 back is surely losing the club money.

City have acted no differently in the sale of tickets than they would normally do. When you know you will not sell out, you reduce prices and make the tickets available to the whole community. Everybody buying a ticket to this game had the opportunity to bring a friend, relative, etc. It's called broadening your fan base.
If City would have charged £40 for this game with, let's say 50 loyalty point criteria required, they would have got slated.
Now, unless city employ Nick Griffin to run the ticket office and enforce a 'Don't sell to foreigners' policy, I don't see how else they could of dealt with this.
In a perfect world, we could all sit side by side for this match without any trouble. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, but sadly, City now seem to be getting the blame for this too... and by our own fans!
We seem to live in a 'Blame' society these days. Something unexpected has happened. An alternative has been offered, (a bloody good one). Take what's been offered, because the gesture made by the club easily outweighs the inconvenience caused.
