Yes, as the tickets for Man City away sold out 3 days ago (I have one), and I know numerous people that couldn't get tickets because they didn't have enough loyalty points.
BY THE WAY I SUPPORT NEWCASTLE NOT VILLA
Tell you something mate, along with West Ham, Newcastle are my favourite set of away fans. Been to St. James's 3 times watching City and every single time I've been up you lot have been sound as fuck with us and really friendly. Genuinely hope you get the success you fans deserve mate. And yes you're away support is tremendous.

I am as equally happy as I am pissed off at this. Great that it's onwards and upwards and were getting better crowds, but if we start to do shit for a couple of seasons these "fans" will fuck us off. Loyal bastards lol!
Its my experance that people that are attending a single game are doing so more for the event than to support the team.Gingers Dad said:Do people with less money sing more?DontLookBackInAnger said:The issue is if you dont expand you have to push the prices up(as Chelsea have)and you end up with no atmosphere at all, because the "real" fans are pushed out to make way for the day trippers that will pay 2 3 times as much simply to see one game.nashark said:Bigger stadium doesn't always mean a better atmosphere. They should try and squeeze in an extra 3 or 4 rows immediately around the pitch. That's be a few hundred more in and would make the atmosphere much better.
Some of us don't have the choice of attending multiple games. I intend to be over for the Newcastle game and I can assure you, it's not for the event.DontLookBackInAnger said:Its my experance that people that are attending a single game are doing so more for the event than to support the team.Gingers Dad said:Do people with less money sing more?DontLookBackInAnger said:The issue is if you dont expand you have to push the prices up(as Chelsea have)and you end up with no atmosphere at all, because the "real" fans are pushed out to make way for the day trippers that will pay 2 3 times as much simply to see one game.
Im not suggesting that we turn anyone away, in fact thats part of my point we need to expand to allow people to attend. Many on here seem to think that Eastlands is some kind of closed shop....."I have had a ticket for 20 years and I will have a ticket for another" But the facts are looking at a club like Chelsea you expand or you charge more for your tickets....... Its as simple as that. I have been in the same boat as you. I lived in Germany for 3 years so couldn't attend weekly, so I know the feeling of going to a game seeing the next game in the programme notes and knowing you can't be there, it sucks and I was coming across when the foorball we played was crap!! so it must be 10 times worse now!jimharri said:Some of us don't have the choice of attending multiple games.

borassic said:Remember we beat the Geordies a few years ago in a night match they brought about 500. Was really surprised that night as they always bring a shit load and sell out, they've got top away support. I'd say about the same level as us. Let's not forget we've had some bad turn outs down the years and some mega turnouts too, so yeah i'd say we were quite similar, big clubs with no success on the pitch.

Charge those in the prime seats to make up for lost revenue what they are paying now.
