He goes in the same pub as me after the game. You don't notice him so much in there.

We got our 'reward' when Aguero scored the third against QPR. If City (and other clubs) really wanted to reward their long term/loyal supporters they should stop pricing them out of games.

First time I encountered this was with a phone company, that lasted the five minutes it took until I could get to another store than sold sim cards. If City were charging me £120 for the privilege of giving them money, I'd inform them I'll be cancelling everything that could conceivably give them money, boycotting their sponsors products and streaming their games until they got their heads right. It'd do fuck all by itself, but if half the season ticket holders did the same, you see how quickly it fucks right off.

Band wagon jumper!
Cart old John out round the pitch in his chair for a match day experience for a start and take Gillie the next week ;-)
Plaque I reckon as it's something that will last for a long time. A match day experience or a seat in a hospitality box will be a fading memory where as something solid like a plaque will stay in place and a honour for that chosen person to take kids / grandkids etc, to see it.

I'm 30 this year and have had my season ticket 20 years straight. No gap. Why should it matter because of my age?

My personal view on this would be for the club to give something back. Maybe if you are an existing season ticket holder, you get a reduction each year on your renewal as a continued long standing loyal fan?
We already have price brackets for tickets
U16/OAP
17/18
18/21
Adult over 21
why cant we do the same, seasoncard/ticket holder for:
10/15yrs = 10% discount
15/20yrs = 15% discount
20/25 yrs = 20% discount
25+ = 25% discount
I think it would be a nice touch for the club to recognise those fans that have supported the club for many years in the bad old days, but how is this possible?

Fair comment. Suppose my idea might be a bit ageist!
Just for you Mase I shall petition the club for you to have a meal out with Kolarov :-)
