They have to,announce how many purchased tickets for tax reasons. Unlikely they are going to employ people to count those actually turning up.
You counted them?
How many are there?
Did you count Chazz twice? It's easy done. You'd think it was 2 people.
They know exactly how many attend every game, everyone is scanned in.
Yet Manchester Police do their own checking to see how many enter Old Trafford. Surely they could just get the info from Old Trafford.
I can't believe that City inflate the figures as Charon seemed to be suggesting.
It's been shown time and again, people will grumble, but are loathe to act until it directly affects them,because their case is slightly different.
Sad, but true.
Interesting to see if the 4500 goes up much in these last 2 days before fans can't keep their seat anymore.
Guessing that if 4500 have indeed joined the scheme that the majority of those would be the current occupants of Zones 1 & 2 securing their seats before others can pick them off next week.
No. However, the one stripe membership refers to buying individual tickets, or blocks of tickets. I think TOM confirmed that purchases of individual tickets would become members. Apologies to TOM if I got that wrong.
Thanks Obi - if I need a membership to buy away tickets then I'll be restricted to ''pay on the day'' matches (no chance if we're PL), I'm getting ever closer to giving it all up tbh.
Which is why you need to have an organisation to have an effective campaign. Its also sad but true that everybody thinks everybody else thinks like them. In reality they don't. A boycott has to be built, it doesn't just happen. The internet is great but you need to talk to people and convince them that you can win. Which means you need to know what victory is, is it getting rid of the scheme or getting rid of the scheme and the Allams?
Finally how do you get rid of the scheme if we get promoted? A boycott wouldn't look good, we may not get many extra matches on the television but with £100 million from Sky and BT Ehab Allam could easily put two fingers up to us.
I understand perfectly, but for me that means they have won. I know people disagree with me but I don't like giving up without a fight.
I doubt it, they are that pig headed that we need near zero gates, before they will see we don't like it. Then we will get a different brilliant Rehab scheme
I was part of the protest from the Norwich game until now, I used to be a creature of habit - buy my programme, coffee and pie deal and sit and read it before the game, I bought polo shirts every season, kit for my g'son ....... I've not spent one penny since, in the big scheme of things it's not much, but it's my own little protest. I can save a fortune on my old west upper tickets but I'm not getting cheap tickets when kids and OAP's are subsidising it. I wish I had the stomach for more, but I'm really sick of all of it.
They are the "descent" owners!
I was going to sign up - but it's the t&c's that have done it for me - I daren't sign up. Why are the club wanting to do credit checks? When will these checks be done? Too many checks can start to affect your credit rating. Maybe not by much - but I don't know when I am going to need credit - the club has no business doing a credit check when they are not giving me credit.
How long are the prices good for? Let's imagine a perfect scenario on the pitch - we sweep past Derby, and have a glorious second promotion at Wembley, then go on to do a Leicester next season. Under the current t&c's the Allams are free to put the prices up FOUR times over the course of a season (Every 90 days). Don't tell me that if we had some how had a season like them this shower wouldn't have put prices up once demand started to rise.
I go to City on my own, but have been sat with the current group for nine years. Once I lose my seat, that's my link to these friends broken; I've no guarantee I'll be able to sit near them again, but what alternative is there?
