I took my kids to the semi on corporate tickets that I paid for. I qualified for tickets via games bought home and away but got in early. No tickets are available from work this time round, so can I apply for tickets using the stubs from the semi? Any ideas?
Who mentioned voting? Is there one stand where anti name change singing and flag displays prevail? Look at the block plan and see what crap blocks the East Stand get. Corporates are ring-fenced, then West stand zombies, then south stand and last and by all means least, the East. I just hope we have a lull in play around the 19 minute mark.
You know when some footballers retire at the top of their game, Cantona, Zidane, some others, well if we win the FA cup I might retire from going to City games, because even though this has already been our best season ever, in terms of our support it's been one of the worst. The massive percentage of our supporters who are willing to allow Allam to change the name really makes me ashamed, the massive percentage of our support who go to games and sit in silence apart from when we score leaves me in despair. This ticket arrangement for us in the East stand proves that we have been shafted by Allam again, apart from the two blocks behind the goal, we have got the the worst allocation. I know there are no bad seats at Wembley but £85 to sit behind the goal when the West have got down the side for the same price stinks, May 17th might be my last hurrah, however the chance to watch a game in Liege, getting tear gassed, water cannoned by the police and barricaded in a pub by local lunatics throwing flares will be too good to miss.
Sorry I wasn't really trying to pass it off as my own. I shouldn't have used the word "my". I tried to quote it from your post on the other thread but it wouldn't do it for some reason so I had to re-post it. I apologise.
Not a massive issue the block allocation- we are in the FINAL and that's all that matters. However, the spite, the bias, the gerrymandering, the re-profiling of our support, the prioritisation in favour of the most compliant leaves a bad smell which won't be forgotten any time soon. This is almost certain to be our best season ever. And one our worst seasons ever: the name change, the 'die as soon as they want' abuse, the continual attention-seeking statements, the utter lack of understanding of how to run a football club, the lack of rapport with our city, the Council, Adidas and anyone else who doesn't kow-two or can't be bought off is sickening. You can bet most of these additional 8,000 or so fans since last season are the mutes, the plastics, the 'Sit down I can't see Rooney' brigade who bring their lack of class and integrity to our stadium. The eyes of the football world are upon us and it feels uncomfotable that we have so many 'new' fans. I predict an almost inaudible 'Abide With Me' from our end next month with large swathes seated and mute, especially the West Stand blocks who do their best to appear impartial and neutral when watching City.
