Call me an armchair fan if you like but it's down to 1 main reason, my son is not old enough yet (imo) to attend night matches. On a school night, he wouldn't get into bed much before 10.30pm after travelling home through traffic etc and that's too much for him. We also are part of an amateur dramatics society so that's another evening of his week gone or more if a show is coming up. When he's at secondary school, I'll consider it then. DRAMA QUEEN !

Like I said I’ve been there myself. @CiderCraiggets my point, which is which team is the real attraction as a City fan? Do people want to see how we play against ManU/ManC or is the desire to watch the ‘stars’ of the Premiership club more. That’s all I’m asking, as we don’t get the same scramble of interest for league matches or earlier rounds of the cup, so it’s not interest in the cup in particular. Fully understand the point you are making, and I'm one who's been unable to go regularly because of circumstance, but I would say it could absolutely be interest in the cup. I've been saying similar to Manchester Red fans on Twitter, but I think who our opponents were on a Wednesday was largely immaterial to the attendance. It was our first major cup quarter final in a generation. I fully believe the home end would have been sold out regardless, a bit like how we sold 40k for the JPT final against Walsall but a couple our home matches in earlier rounds were (I believe) sub 10k.

Bar BS3 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 15 hours ago, cityfan said: I wanted to go to the Man U game because win, lose or draw, it was always about a memorable night, something that has not happened down at City of that magnitude in my life time. Against Man City over two legs it will be totally different. It won't for me be about a memorable night. moreso about watching to see how far City have come. Man City are a different prospect to Man U and as many keep saying, probably the best team in the world. Add to that a night game and the Semi-finals then right there you have your attraction. I can get to a league game, but I won't get anywhere near the allocation for such a high profile match. So with a league game I have a choice. But with Man U and Man City, I won't get that choice. Why would anyone who’s that interested not have got themselves a membership by now..?! A membership, with attending the odd game gets you a ticket for these fixtures.

I have a season ticket (always have) and I take my son who is 7 and half years old. He will attend 70% of the evening games. I don't think there is any harm in the odd late night in view that there are not many night matches and he was certainly not going to miss the Manchester United experience. Not that he needed any more red blood in his veins but that game will live with him FOREVER! His school attendance record is amazing (prob 7 days off sick and now in his 4th year) so I will be taking him out of school for 2 days to go to the Man City away game! Can't see the harm but understand that we all parent differently! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR Ahh don't get me wrong Tomo - Apologies if you thought I was suggesting taking kids to evening games was in anyway wrong - Anything but the thought never crossed my mind Parents choice and judgement I was merely applauding Peg , having believed that the time wasn't right yet , to stay at home herself rather than put herself first , if you see what I mean ! Apologies if you misunderstand me Love to see the kids excitement at the football day or evening and just love to see and hear of good parents whatever their decisions and choices I said to a few young ones on Weds night 'Take it all in and enjoy it as it doesn't come round very often!' Your sons memories and your memory of Weds night together will last forever and your son will always be grateful - promise ya I looked up at my Dads old seat at the final whistle and winked My , and I guess mosts, love of City and Football comes from our parents (Mainly Dad of our generation) being kind enough to take us and introduce us and my dear Dad gave me the greatest gift , the love of sport by taking me to City and lots of other football at every opportunity and it was a bond that was enormous and lasted till his final moments Sounds like you are doing the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 For what it’s worth, I tend to take Joe (now 12) to night games more at the start and end of season, mainly due to the cold, as it affects his muscles. He is also a grumpy sod after a late night (like us all). Wednesday was actually quite mild, but it was a late one. I think the coldest one I’ve been to of late was Hull City, which was a Saturday lunchtime Funnily enough....when Kodjia wore tights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I can't believe all this mamby- pamby nonsense about not keeping kids up late in order to see the mighty BCFC and I'll be saying exactly the same thing to my kid's probation officers.

It comes to over £60 for one game. Realistically I won’t be able to go to loads of games over the next couple of years so won’t make use of the membership. Therefore asking for a ticket to buy on here is much more cost effective Cry me a ******* river. If you want to go THAT bad, buy a membership.

bengalcub Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 The boys four took him to United game and would take him to any night game that could create that kind of memory , missing a day in school or a lifetime memory father and son memory ?

If not @Garland-swedenI'm sure OTIB can sort it Thanks for your kindness about the Man City game. We are planning to come over some leauge games later on. Man City game we watch on telly here in Sweden. What a season we got so far, second in the table and semi vs MC in the cup.
