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

Wait til Sunday, Liverpool fans in the away end, and every fucker from anywhere, if you are lucky you might see an odd City fan but don’t bank on it

City head of security has no interest in keeping City fans safe, thats obvious from a number of incidents over recent years, hes much keener on throwing out / banning City fans , he literally boasts about the high number of fans he bans and throws out

So many aspects of the ticketing system are piss poor for a club of our stature. Pricing, easy access for other fans, technical issues, away game allocation carve up to name a few. Needs a complete overhaul that department.

I don’t know who City’s head of security is these days but I know the previous incumbents were right cunts!

I never have been critical of the club particularly but tonight was not enjoyable as I was sat below a fucking kindergarten. It's been happening more and more. I didn't detect dutch fans just a load of little children who shouldn't be there.

You cannot beat paying loads for your ticket to be surrounded by loads of non City kids at a champions league game, none knowing where they are sat, up and down every five minutes,hardly any interest in the game. I fully understand why people are walking away

Away fans will do whatever they can to get into the stadium, we’ve all done it at other grounds, though not in the numbers that seem to be happening at City. The issue is the ease with which they can get tickets, and that is down to the club.

Daft thing is that if a Feyenoord fan tried to buy a ticket through City’s website he/she wouldn’t have been able to due to the restrictions put in place so you have to wonder where they got their tickets from. No doubt a lot got snapped up via third party ticket agencies and as you say, a lot of that is surely down to City selling them tickets. However, the club were happy to threaten fans with a 10 match ban if they dared transfer their ticket to a Feyenoord fan. It seems they have an issue with fans passing/selling their tickets on to Feyenoord fans but they don’t have an issue with themselves selling tickets to Feyenoord fans. Double standards much?

City also laughably claimed they would be operating a zero tolerance policy against Feyenoord fans in the home areas but when that materialised pretty much fuck-all was done about it.

Plenty round me in 315, a few of them went up when they equalised, but they were pretty quiet other than that. It did t look like they had sold the full allocation, because the last few rows were completely empty

They sold out, they all squeeze together, and they got 2700 tickets not 3100

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

The club don’t care. All they are interested in is making money.

The club have priced out long standing fans, locals and the younger generation. What are we going to do if we get worse, which we will. Who’s going to fill the stadium up?

When we expand the ground it’s only going to get worse. We need to do something, whether that’s protests or something similar.

The long term strategy makes no sense.

Summed up perfectly, the club only cares about money . The tourists and glory hunters will soon disappear if this shit show continues.

Part of why it is so easy is that many long-term City fans are being priced out. And we do have some fans who really don't want to watch the CL until the knock-out stages, because they want to see the glamourous opponents. Not sure how they'd have managed when we were up against Colchester and Bristol Rovers.
