It was a Tuesday night and there were 28k in attendance including 6k Man City fans. Re the Brentford game, I take your point. However, if normal ticket prices were in place, I’m sure the attendance would have been below 20k. Man city 10 years ago wernt any different to playing derby or forest , now there a huge draw. Id bet anyone we would sellout and have 10000 more,wanting to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brissy-owl Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I really wanted to go.. but the 100 itl cost me maybe more will be useful towards my car repairs, had it been 25 a ticket then id have probably pushed to get two tickets, so sky it is.

Anyway for those going lets have a Arsenal and Brighton type atmosphere. our supporters what count are the ones in the ground ,just 4this game and only this game where supporters should pay the £39 ,the same supporters paid between £42-£49 lasts season 5000 more home supporters . the club need to employ someone with half a brain cell and we could easy get 2-3000 more on a regular basis even just reducing prices by around a fiver ,the 8 tier ticket price structure is ludicrous its making some supports decide that every game will be too expensive so they don't even bother no more. other clubs apart from leeds,pigs,hull charge the right amount in the championship , Birmingham do a lot to get supporters to go and there wage bill is a lot higher than ours. cut out even 1 player of wastage from the wage bill ie david jones 30k a week take 1.5million off what we charge for potd and easily £ 5-10 per ticket could come off without effecting us financially.

Whilst I tend to agree with most of your points, where do you get the idea that we have 5000 less home supporters for tonight’s game than last season?

But asking for another tenner, along with the travel costs (80 mile round trip for me) seems a little bit too much, especially when there's the option to watch the same game on a TV somewhere (albeit without the live atmosphere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
