Let me get this right MCFC, you want a family of 4 (hubby/wife/2kids) to pay you £120 to join a membership scheme, to give you the right to then queue to buy a ticket from you at £45-£55 a time? What an absolute load of old shit.
And don't get me started on the Platinum and Gold extra £50 bollocks either. Ill never buy a Platinum seasoncard on principal that its a fookin con to crowbar more money and play on fans wishes to get Cup final tickets.
City have a hard core of about 38 - 40k, who will go no matter what, The rest float depending on the game, the cost or whats at stake but the club are starting to take the piss and it will bite them in the arse. There'll be no more Champions League games for me after this season due to the cost/pisstake and if it keeps rising, domestic Cup games will go too. A lot of the fans, irate at whats going on were among those with their hands up and hands in their pockets when the club was going to shit in the mid 90s, and again in 2006/7; sadly a large percentage of the type of supporters the club is now courting on a larger scale wouldn't be anywhere near City but for the success of the past 5 years. If it goes to shit again, they'll be off the bandwagon faster than Costa stamping on a defenders leg when no-ones looking.

Horrible to say, but my rag brother said after they lost to York City 0-3, now we know the domestic cups are toilet paper to the club flushed away as quick as they can. I never thought I would see that at City, we are it looks like there though, and it is only a mug who cannot see that. Disgusting TBH.

I don't think I've ever agreed with anything he's ever written or said on SS, but he's on the money here.

Really ? I think he's often ok.
I think the Premier League should try to encourage/force all clubs to slash ticket prices, for home fans too. If they can bring in ridiculously illegal bollocks like ffp, then they can find a way of doing that.

The game before and the game after they played Stoke and Palace. The tickets were less than £20. The crowd was lowest for our visit.
Is that a good deal for their fans against weaker oppo or complete twatting opportunism to charge more when the big sides rock up?
