When Is The Club Going To Stop Selling Tickets In The Home End To Away Fans?

[East Level 2]

I see people are saying the stewards did fuck all, well the steward on my block is usually a student, 10 stone wet through, probably on minimum wage, anyone who expects these kids to step in the line of fire are naive, I am with you, it’s on the club

They are capable of calling for assistance aren't they?

For all the social media presence City fans have no one seems willing to call this out on those platforms

Cheeseman, Steven Mcwhatever, Big Steve, the McfcLads etc

They should be mentioning it more

If things go tits up in Turin then prices for Bruges will need to be down to the minimum to get a decent crowd in. I'm sure a lot who aren't on the CL scheme will watch on telly anyway.
Expect loads of cheap, multi-ticket offers to be available if we also mess up in Paris.
I'm confident we'll sort out our problems on the pitch, but I'm not confident we'll do it this season. Missing out on a top four place will impact our finances next season especially as we'll have some ridiculously low attendances for Thursday League games. I can't see us failing to get top six so we'll be in the TL if one of the top four wins either domestic cup.

I don't think they want to draw attention to the fact that we have so many fans who won't attend CL games for whatever reason.

what a group of 10 stone wet throughs dealing with it. The club don't give a fuck, Soriano has turned our ground into a theme park, so much so the experience is monumentally shite, but not content with that, they have also turned our peak away games into a theme park, our identity has been eroded to the point of no return. Season tickets unavailable for the next generation, tickets prices that are comparable to London, add in the fact there seems to be a game every 4 days the whole thing is unsustainable. From 2012 City had the opportunity to grab the lions share of the local support and secure the clubs future support for generations, instead their eyes lit up and saw pound signs and they target everyone except whom they should, the biggest irony is ticketing makes up about 10% of our revenue

Why would those guys be bothered

People forget where Soriano comes from.

Barcelona have been doing this for years. Anyone can get a ticket in that ground for any match. They do not care who is sat where and with who.

The other year some German club literally took over the Nou Camp.

I am surprised more that people did not see this coming years ago.

As for away tickets, the same mindset is there. They see it as a day out, not like we do. We see it as getting behind the team

Perhaps they should get some of the bigger fuckers involved. Or are they only used outside.

Because it highlights that plenty of City fans are watching on the telly, something we used to have a song about.
There will be rags, dippers and Tarquins laughing at our empty seats even though they themselves hardly ever go to watch their teams. The empty seats jibes upsets a lot of City fans and links with the piss taking about extending the ground when we can't fill the current capacity. We all know a lot of that criticism is bollocks, but fans don't want to draw attention to it.
The club knows what is going on and won't really care about alienating regular supporters until it impacts on revenue.

100% correct. Maybe the dynamic has completely changed, you have the dwindling old guard pining for the old experience and continually being marginalised and eventually walking away, while the new crap experience has become the norm. Not to worry though we are all getting a £10 food and drink voucher, problem solved.
