It's more evidence that the club NEEDS to talk to the fans.

It's an absolute mess.
 
Headline news all about the season pass price hike.

It might be 30% but we are a premiership club that has paid championship prices until now.

It works out at £2.09 a ****ing week, less than a pint and even a takeaway coffee.

I'll be renewing mine and the lads and i'm not on a massive wage, but i follow City and would make every effort to afford my pass if i really struggled.

The team is currently successful and had its best ever season.

Best ever squad, best ever manager.

No comment on the owners, but i wouldn't want some off our past owners back, would you?

Now let's get Jake signed up and strengthen that squad for next season

UTT
 
My understanding is that the entire North stand will be home fans and they are to reduce the number of away fans allocation to the minimum allowed to fit in e1 to e3.

The minimum allowed is 2,450 which we gave to away fans last season; E1 - E3 is a smaller area so don't see how that's possible.

Good news if North is all City though.
 
I don't believe that's what happening at all.

Which bit? There'll be less facilities. E3 will be for segregation, we already get nearly half the north, so it doesn't leave much to give if they want a north block for segregation too, and upper west can't happen because of corportates.
Apart from a set of toilets, the facilities in the East don't go down far enough, so it must be either new ones or some from the north for away fans. And it's dearer than south stand.

So which bit's wrong?
 
I might be wrong about how I've interpreted it but think everyone should just wait and see in the coming days instead of kicking off before facts are fully known. Change is going ahead. Seemingly for the good of the fans as a whole.
 
moan moan moan arsenal cost £63 a game just won fa cup after 9 years so we win again.....blah blah
 
Bloke on CI says that we get N1, N2, N3, N4 and half of N5.

Other half of N5 is segregated.

N6, N7, E1, E2 AND E3 for away fans...

Massive section for them if true.

Nah. Away fans in upper west would work for most with less hassle.

What's happening is showing the club are not talking to fans.

That's just your opinion. If you want everyone to have an opinion about it then christ knows how many permutations there could be. The season starts sooner this year. Logistically to give everyone a say isn't possible. We got moved. We had no choice. Other things worth fighting for more than this I'm afraid.

The bit about N5-N7 and E1-E3 all being for away fans, it's too big and doesn't give the North Stand to home fans, which is the whole point of this change.

Hopefully the club will clarify exactly what's what tomorrow.
 
I'm still not convinced that moving home fans to create a mythical "kop" style atmosphere (that only exists for five pre-choreographed minutes a week) is in the best interests of anyone.

We could have at least had a price freeze/smaller increase as a gesture of goodwill for moving to a ****tier view.

I'm not fighting, I'm offering an opinion. A move of away fans to the upper tier would be logistically more straight forward and disrupt less people. There's plenty in E's 1-3 that meet mates further down at half time for example.

The fact people are not going to renew as a consequence (and the club acknowledge this) shows it has huge flaws. The fact the club are trying to give out information on an individual basis, shows consultation would have been more effective.

The fact we'll end up with less pass holders and some existing unhappy ones after the season we've had, can only label the way it's been done as a failure.
 
Pearson, Duffen and Thompson all wanted the away fans in the North East corner, they all dismissed the West Upper as being completely impractical, it was never a serious option.

All didn't move the away fans to the north east corner because they dismissed it as completely impractical. Seems they got that wrong too then.
 
Why is it. These new prices are bang in line with average PREMIER LEAGUE prices we were paying CHAMPIONSHIP prices.
We are paying PREMIER LEAGUE football so we need to pay PREMIER LEAGUE prices.

You clearly don't like the idea of paying the going rate and wanted our chairman to subsidise you so I assumed you didn't like paying the going rate for petrol and wanted someone to subsidise you on this as well.

There is something very reminiscent of a certain bean-counter in your posts. <whistle>
