    Anyone think new owners will reverse all the poor decisions the 2 tw*ts made including the very early one to change senior concession from over 60 to over 65.
    I bought my ticket for the QPR game today. 23 pounds for over 60s.

    Although I'm 60, I'm happy with 65 For the oap. It's the young people's concessions we need, the parents/ grandparents already have a full price ticket to buy. The kids must be on a concession. Are you listening you tyre squealing nob jockey

    Dont think it will take too much to improve the good will at the club tbh .. concessions being the main piece. Anyone worth their salt will see the **** storm these two clowns have created and seek to redress the balance

    Same here. I am 68 and with mortgage paid off and with an old age pension and a private pension have more disposable income than my kids and a lot of other young people with rent or mortgages, kids living at home etc...
    We need to have concessions so we can get the next generation of supporters hooked. Prime example under our stupid pricing system was it would have cost me £72 on a pay for the match basis to take myself and 2 of my grandkids to go in North Stand against Leeds season before last. To have seen Wolves v Leeds that season would have cost £25, £15 for me and £5 each for the grandkids.

    Totally agree. Any child under 10 should not pay more than a fiver. It’s an investment for the future and common sense when there are so many empty seats. Any person with half a brain will see how easy it will be at City to restore goodwill.

    No sense in football. Saw a Wolves fans saying away games at Leeds and Wednesday last season cost £38 and £39. This season because the big clubs don't consider them a top category game he is paying £27 for Arsenal and £30 for Man Utd.

    I manage to dispose of most of it thanks. Don't intend leaving too much.
    Funny the difference between income and disposable income. Their was an article last week listing cities by disposable income after costs of everyday living were taken into account. Bottom wasn't poor old 'Ull. Or Middlesbrough. Or other benighted places. It was Brighton.

    Housing costs are lower in t'North lad. Most people have to pay rent/mortgages.

    still the proudest i'd been to be a city fan, especially being a part of it heheh
    they tried to get a banner stopped, but the city fans revolted

    9 months later, city fans were moved to the north stand for whatever reasons they spouted

    I wouldn't have a clue myself, but Kieran Maguire, that football finance expert who comments on these things from time to time, reckons it's worth much less. I think the figure he used was something like £15-20m.

    That’s been my estimate. The training ground, the SMC income, the football league golden share. £15m is about right. Our player contracts are worth very little now.

    Wages are lower in t'north as well. The point is disposable income. Incidentally the second lowest was Norwich. Yet they still fill their ground. Must be a proper football city. And it has the third most pubs per square mile in England to tempt people.

    I know what disposble income is - housing costs in the South are disproportionally high, which outweigh the higher salaries.
    I'm teetotal so the density of pubs doesn't tempt me to move to Norwich.
