I think another problem at City, is the fact that the ground is more spacious, & the seat colour shows up particularly well on tv. There are often loads of empty seats at the swamp or Emirates, but you can only see them on closeup.From the normal tv view, they just look like more wankers with red shirts on.

Except better looking.

121 is next to the Colin Bell reading club, but close enough to the south stand singers, but with all the relocating being done, I think it will be pretty new for loads of people this season, I moved from 111 to 302 for medical reasons last season and now have decided on block 314 for this coming season. Really looking forward to seeing how the reshuffle of fans and the new singing section works out.

I believe the club have had internal discussions regarding this specific problem, I'm sure it was estimated by the club that some 10% of season ticket holders don't actually go to the games.
I admit to being one of them, but my ticket got used nearly every week the first year I was away, then my mates dad took it up cos he couldn't get a senior citizen ticket in our block.
I'll keep it as long as he wants it,and it serves my purpose if Me or a mate ever needs it for a European away game - because of the points it would be stupid to give it up. But I think amongst my group of 4 or 5 mates, there's always at least 1 ticket going spare most weeks, and it's surprisingly hard to give it away.

I have relatives who live down South who have to miss games sometimes & I'm sure there are plenty in that situation. But like at the swamp, I'm convinced there are sections of seats owned by touts. Only a small number compared to there, where it's fucking thousands & thousands, but growing.
They should monitor it imo.
