Guest Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Just for a bit of balance, I’m a season ticket holder I went last night, I’ve renewed and I went with 5 other season ticket holders, we are aged between late 30s and mid 40s, we don’t drink real ale, our tickets are on the north not sure if @MrFarrell is trying to be clever, funny, on a wind up or just being an argumentative pr1k, but not sure attacking season ticket holders is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Nice to see, theres nothing like Hillsborough when the fans wake up and make some noise. However, we/our fans cant be taken for granted, I wouldn't go as far as fickle, but do need to be given something to get behind. I remember my dad once texting me while at a match asking if we'd scored as he was driving past and heard the crowd, had to tell him "no, just a corner" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 13 hours ago, LondonOwl313 said: Think this is the point... would guess most of the attendees were POTG people. Probably only half the season ticket holders turned up. Season ticket holders are there only through habit and an element of not wanting to pay sky high prices to pick and choose. Would be surprised if more than 70% of them renew for next season tbh. And the POTGers are happy to come to watch Man City but don't want to pay £40 to watch Reading or Barnsley which is understandable. They need to drastically lower ticket prices to boost attendances and the atmosphere... it's simple Must admit not many of the usual ST holders around me. Just don't get why they would miss a decent cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Grandstand tonight and noticed quite a few more kids than usual, great to see them there and hopefully most of them will be helping to form our core group of support in the future. I was on the grandstand with my two. Absolutely loved it. We were all getting into it. Celebrating three passes strung together, went mental when we won a corner. The kids had fun, which is what it's about. It was the loudest I'd heard Hillsborough since Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders are just lazy, and aren't prepared to contribute to the atmosphere. Yes... well... thanks Mr F! Let's have a campaign to bring back the POTG people and all go to a game together! Season ticket holders and POTGs together! It's our future. I used to be POTG many years ago when I was a vulnerable young man, but my father gave me some advice.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders are just lazy, and aren't prepared to contribute to the atmosphere. Think that is a very tough comment. I was there last night as a person who had a first season ticket in 1961 and our family have bought debentures (North Stand) and shares over the years to support the club (all shares given to Mr. Mandaric). I might not be as loud and demonstrative in my 70s as I was as a young lad! Everyone who went last night was a POTG customer as everyone had to pay. I think the price could have been less but the challenge we have is if we are going to ever keep out of the Finance and Sustainability rules, the club has to have a decent income from somewhere to offset the crazy salaries for players. Season ticket holders' money is, I think, counted as income in the year of payment with any further years purchased recorded as liabilities which helps the accounts now even though it gives problems for the future. On the occasions where the POTG prices have been dropped, the increase in attendance is not actually great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fault I have is with the group of supporters on the south stand singing along with their song about hating Man United. Embarrassing. Bit disappointing to hear them. Especially as the older Man Utd fans have respect for our club. We were their first opponents after Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see you stood on your seats leading a few chants. Throw the scotch blanket and travel sweets away, and lead a North stand conga. You know it makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
