gagiesotherhalf said:Well..me and my 2 friends who I sit with got to queue at 10.45
By 12.00 we hadn't moved barely an inch.
One went home to try on phone and internet and came back later.
In the meantime I made...ONE HUNDRED AND NINE phone calls to MCFC to try and get through...managed to get on hold about 1.00pm...was on hold over half an hour. On the 0870 number (as the main number was on permanent engaged tone).
The very kindly man in front who had in fact got through handed my mate his phone after he'd finished and we got sorted. Ish. Total time in queue = 3 hours. We weren't anywhere near half way to the front!
In the melee and excitement of actually getting out of the queue early we looked at the map upside down and got 3 tickets in Block 142...and then went..ohh bugger..we didn't mean that one...d'oh!
Thankfully clever mate rang back this afternoon and got us all moved to Row L of Block 122, so we can hob nob with our south stand mates. Cost us a bit more again.
General consensus in the queue was that we'd all take pretty much anywhere except top tier. There were no tickets available anywhere in the South Stand. If you haven't got moved, I'd say do it quick.
Pissed off at the hike really, as our ticket this year cost us £380. Next year it's £450 including the £50 discount for moving (so really it's gone up £120, by almost a third!). Not to mention the money the club will make off the kick back on the 0870 number today.
Wonder if I send my mobile bill into Mr G Cook he'd consider reimbursing.... ;)

Spoke to a few people near me in the south stand with kids & none of them are moving. So we could have a situation where the 3rd tier my be full & we have half empty north stand.Clever , very clever.
Totaly agree, city have messed up badly with this & i dont know how theyre going to redeem themselves in the fans eyes. If i was forced to move , on principle i would not be going anymore, they could stick it.sput the wonder pig said:ballinio said:A disgraceful way to treat many loyal fans, never thought i would see city treat fans this way.Who the hell needs an 8,000 seat family stand ?

i moved from the north last season to block 122 in the cb stand....its a great place to sit with a great atmosphere... id save about £150 moving us all to the north stand.... but no way would i go back there..... so theres 2 more kids not goin to the " family stand "...
its gonna look pants witha n empty lower tier....
I've ended up in the CB 328 near the front, from the back of NS 138, so hope not too bad. I too hope they have done their homework properly and are sure of filling the NS or they will look like a right load of tossers. Cannot see where they get the average 5% increase from though.ballinio said:A disgraceful way to treat many loyal fans, never thought i would see city treat fans this way.Who the hell needs an 8,000 seat family stand ?
