No, I paid for the lot as a good parent or guardian - I know some others can't afford it unless it is a big game when money becomes no object and they are suddenly millionaires.Hopefully the Investigatory Chamber looks into this, and make sure he’s self-funded all of those ticket points.
We have to protect the Legacy fans because they invented Manchester City. It belongs to them.
I’ve been plenty luv, Lincoln away, Barnsley away, hundreds of away games, done the “hard yards”.
But I don’t think that should entitle me lock out anyone under 25 from ever attending away games until I die.
The “Super League” of away fans.
Fantastic, I’m glad your son got to go and didn’t have to wait for anyone to die before he got a chance.My youngest son went and he’s seventeen. To Porto, not Lincoln or Barnsley.
Well done on your hundreds of away games including Lincoln and Barnsley luv
Same here my lads 25, his first game was Wrexham at home, he’s paid his own way , at last, for almost 8 years now aswell. He goes to nearly all always, goes all over Europe and has earned every point, 18000 of them. That’s how you get a CL Final ticket. What pisses me and him off he always manages to get away tickets but rarely using his points, strange this, as upto that fukin tunnel club and other corporate gimmicks we both qualified for all away games. That is the real problem….pampering to corporates…. Nearly every away game I’ve been to in the last 3 years I’ve been surrounded by ….southerners.My under 25 easily qualified - people don't decide to support city at 18.
And that is down to those who get tickets outside the diminishing points system. It isn't the fans with high points who are the problem, just a shame of the massive cuts of allocating tickets to points.Same here my lads 25, his first game was Wrexham at home, he’s paid his own way , at last, for almost 8 years now aswell.

For me it all started at Villa then later Norwich I was surrounded by a load of plastic cockneys who thought Yaya was Balotelli ffs
I know your hearts in the right place there mate but to suggest that many thousands of older blues should back off is mind boggling. City is rather important and has been for many years and there’s no way on this earth I would have missed Porto for the sake of somebody I don’t know who may or may not chant and scream louder that me.I am not going to away games anyway now. I got my lad his ticket 2 hours before kick off in Porto. If the older ones don't back off the future is not there.

Hopefully more lads his age get the chance to go to away games. And not just the ones with swell dads.
I think they do.....loads (mainly old gits) simply couldn’t be arsed.And can we stop with the self congratulatory pensioner led “great effort from the fans” “had to jump through hoops” “real hassle but i made the effort” “extortionate prices but I had to be there” narrative
It’s a fucking leisure activity, we go because we want to and we enjoy it. Nobody reads that kind of stuff and thinks “wow what an admirable fellow”
I can’t believe some people are having this argument. If those complaining want someone to blame then blame Covid. Because if this game takes place in normal times then we get something like 16,000 tickets as opposed to 6,000 and many more people further down the points list would’ve gotten a ticket.I know your hearts in the right place there mate but to suggest that many thousands of older blues should back off is mind boggling.

For what it’s worth my 31y lad had a ticket in his own right and my 29y old could have had one. They have had season tickets since they were 11 though which in my mind puts things in perspective.
i have 24,770 points and my 17 year old son has just short of 22,000 points so don't say younger fans cannot accumulate the points cos they can if they put the hard work in and don't pick their games some fans on here sound like rag fans " i can't ever get a ticket" , as for fans in Porto being shit what a load of shite, was in stadium and City fans outsang Chelsea until probably last 20 minutes or so, as for someone earlier saying younger fans aren't cut out as they were weeping just because they haven't suffered relegations doesn't mean they don't love the club as much as us older ones, they aren't used to the misery we had to endure , we were used to suffering, Saturday hurts but come August we go again and support our club no matter what
It’s also worth pointing out that fans didn’t need just short of 22,000 points to get a ticket as well. Anyone with over 13,000 points would’ve got one when they qualified as long as they were on the CL cup scheme. It doesn’t take a gazillion years to amass 13,000 points if you sign up to all the cup schemes and do a few away games each season.i have 24,770 points and my 17 year old son has just short of 22,000 points so don't say younger fans cannot accumulate the points cos they can if they put the hard work in and don't pick their games some fans on here sound like rag fans " i can't ever get a ticket" , as for fans in Porto being shit what a load of shite, was in stadium and City fans outsang Chelsea until probably last 20 minutes or so, as for someone earlier saying younger fans aren't cut out as they were weeping just because they haven't suffered relegations doesn't mean they don't love the club as much as us older ones, they aren't used to the misery we had to endure , we were used to suffering, Saturday hurts but come August we go again and support our club no matter what
Everyone slagging off our support couldn't have been in Porto.
We literally took over the City. We outnumbered Chelsea fans 10 to 1. I spoke to a few of their fans and they couldn't believe how many City fans made the trip.
We were nervous in the ground, but we were very loud when we got going. Chelsea had a free hit - they were the underdogs and all of them went expecting to lose. Our fans expected to win and the performance was shambolic!
