Matt Parsons Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi all, After listening to the views of individual fans today and the concerns families have about being split up, we will aim to ensure no one gets separated on Tuesday but we need everyone to allocate a seat. I have spoken with Mark Kelly who has said that “we need full cooperation on this and ask for all fans to listen to stewards and ensure all space behind seats are filled, without fans taking up positions in the aisles. We decided to sell all of the seats in the SE corner to get more of our supporters to enjoy these 2 big games. It therefore follows that if we have sold all the seats we have to ensure everyone takes the spaces and do not overcrowd the rows. We would encourage you to arrive early and work with the stewards so that you can enjoy the game”. Everyone is looking forward to the match and everyone recognises the work Section 82 put in behind the scenes and the atmosphere all fans in the singing section help to create on match day and I know we can all do it again on Tuesday.

AshtonPark Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Does that mean people can stand where they wish? As long as there is no overcrowding and people don’t stand in the aisles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there is no overcrowding and people don’t stand in the aisles? Yes, exactly that. Basically, the area is still unreserved but you must be by a seat, not in an aisle. Well done @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Can someone please let the stewards know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsober Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 14 hours ago, Matt Parsons BCFCSLO said: Hi @AshtonPark, feedback from season ticket holders in the the singing section to me personally was a long the lines that there was friction between fans and between fans and stewards as things weren’t clear regards what the rule were given the removal of the 10% reduction and they had asked for that to be clarified ahead of Tuesday. @Jacki I don’t have the answer to that question for you right now so will need to speak to people at the club. I am starting to understand the make up of the singing section and how tickets have been allocated to season tickets in the past so please bear with me on this, as I may not know all of the answers. Matt As long as you bear in mind that the so called singing section is only a small proportion of the total fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeezing more in - not so more can watch the game - but to generate more revenue. If this were the case we wouldn't put City fans in the Atyeo as we wouldn't need segregation and make more money.

There’s no way Man City would sell 5000 away tickets for this, they had no interest in the home leg let alone the away leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
