Correct, the club offered a certain amount of free tickets to Hull Boys Sunday League which could be purchased with the boys clubs affiliation number. I remember taking my U7's at that time, it was a great team bonding session for the lads at that age coupled with getting some of the lads whose parents had them in Liverpool and Man U shirts finally interested in City
and there you hit a nail on it's head on the Happyallam thread Ehab clearly points out the fact that tickets were given out to kids as something unsavoury and something he is glad he stamped out tells you everything really
Who can tell in our glorious city? Real Madrid seem to have lost half their usual fans in the stadium since Ronaldo's ****ed off. Obviously we'll blame the Allams, but football aint what it used to be, doesn't mean what it used to, and is easier to consume for those that can't be arsed actively supporting a club.
The first ever City game I went to I got a free ticket from school , it was everybody in our school football team
Likewise, but we had plastic tokens, bit like the bus tokens we got in those days, and they had to be returned to school on the Monday morning, not sure if they were used for midweek games or if they were valid for cup matches.
On the happyallam account, it boasts it’s gotten 2k complimentary tickets per game down to 200. No idea where 2k tickets were going. Doubt many were for kids in football teams and school kids. One way of getting it down will have been charging kids in the academy to see the game.
When it was suggested reduced price tickets be sold to get the crowds up plenty complained on forums, HDM comments and RH phone ins about what was the point of buying a season pasx ifbthat happened, how unfair it was etc...Maybe your definiyion of nobody is different.
