where did you relocate to?

[BlueRoscoe]

How tall are you ffs.

Like it! Cheered me up a bit after a shitty bank holiday Monday at City.

Couldn't agre more, I can remeber queing for the '99 playoff final turned up at about 5am thinking I would be early only to find half of Manchester queing round past and through the north stand all the way to half way down the kippax.

Only took about 6 hours that day............

 

[sput the wonder pig]

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.... ;)

welcome to block 122 row L, its a lovey row.. im in 609,610,611 on the isle with my kids.... so no leaving before half time or you will get tripped up

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 ? 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.

 

[bar b blue]

Thank you Gary Cook used to sit in the North Stand with my family.
Now it is a family stand only all five of our family (over 16) have had to move out??????????????????
Well not all five my Auntie has refused to pay more for less (poorer view from new seat location). Now in the East Stand block 102 been City fans all our lives but being punished for the fact i wear condoms........

Still looking forward to the end of this season and of course next year

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.

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.

My wife and her mam relocated to Block 122 today and they have seats 609 & 610...... could you tell me which side of the steps those seats are on as you look at the pitch from the back of the stand ?

We were at the ground at 8am and managed to get these seats and came away quite happy and will check them out on Wed but just wondered if you could answer this for us.

Cheers

 

[chesterguy]

Cant see the NS being empty. I believe the purpose behind these changes is to make the 3rd tier full of Season ticket holders. If the club find that not all the seats in the NS are taken then they will "reward" the people who have taken the £250 option and will put them in there to fill any untaken seats

 

[it'sintheblood!]

IMO a truely awful day for MCFC.

I and hundreds of people queued for 4 hours in the cold on a bank holiday, wasting money trying to get through on the phone. That really is how you re-pay loyalty.

Why the hell was this not better organised?

My sentiments entirely...letter on its way to Cook BIG thankyou for a great bank holiday!

exactly what i was thinking

 

[Mike N]

Funny really, was chatting to a guy who had been a season ticket holder for 50 years and he thought that city should have told him where his new seat was rather than have him queue for 4 hours in the cold.

Wonder if whoever made the decision had a better bank holiday than the hundreds who stayed out in the cold?

 

[guvnors son mcfc]

moved to 101 even though my lad is 14 and we could have stayed for 2 more seasons at 95 quid, my thinking was if we win something next year and we have to move when he is 16 the only place left available will be 3rd tier if there is anything left at all.

5 hours wasted on a Bank Holiday, cheers City !!

 

[bluemoonste]

Row G in 102 .... bit worried that we might be too low tho'. Can anyone comment on this level ?

Terribly organised and freezing cold, rain & hail. God knows why they didn't queue us inside in the concorse rather than exposed to the elements. Cheers Mr Cooke !!!

Cheers mate, looks like they have done alright. Worth the early getting there early for.

i have a 16 yr old aswell... and i thought the same as you but last year !!!! what a good move that turned out to be !!!

 

[blue1969]

My mates parents and his aunty (all aged 58-65) are not renewing because they could only get 3rd tier, his mum suffers from bad arthirtis in the knees and his dad suffers from back problems, they couldn't physically go up the spirals every 2 weeks, it would kill them.

Both been season ticket holders since for 20+ years, this could have been handled a whole lot better.

Typical city!

If they have a disability which they obviously have they can move anywhere.
