Nearly two hours after the ‘live’ draw a pre recorded video appears showing the entire draw, in which all four of the big four teams miraculously avoid each other. Chelsea - who are affiliated with Carabao in a commercial arrangement - are handed a third straight home tie. Reading - who are affiliated with Carabao in a commercial arrangement - despite being out - had three straight home ties. Odds of one team playing at home three ties in a row are 1/8 - but both teams? Something not right with what’s going on if you ask me. 1/64 isn't unlikely enough for a conspiracy theory. Did you check what other teams Carabao sponsor in some capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want more seats just for 15,000 to turn up and never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 There is in no way, shape or form that any team in world football drawing MANCHESTER UNITED at HOME, for any type of game, is a negative. This is the greatest game any club could wish to have (baring maybe El Classico). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who is a City fan will get a ticket if they sell based on ST holders first, existing members second, then previous purchase history 3rd. No general sale should be needed, so no plastics in the home end. We had 22k home fans in May this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STH or existing member with booking history status should be enough. You’re right it was a tongue in cheek comment, although I do recall collecting vouchers back in the 70’s, which could be used for big games. As well as old season ticket books also have vouchers in the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 For life long City fans this is the dream cup tie, for those that have been to the Gillingham, Torquay etc cup games getting a cup tie like this was the dream. For so many years we have always avoided getting a half decent draw. Every effort should be made to ensure that genuine City fans get to see this game. If we get 40000 at Wembley then I'd say our core support would be around 25k and that would give us just enough tickets to sell to these fans. I'd be utterly disgusted if I see one Manc or a plastic Bristol Manc in the home end. Already I've seen hundreds of posts on my Facebook about how people are trying to get tickets and they have never visted Ashton Gate in their life. They need to be stopped from coming at all costs.

Rudolf Hucker Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 The club must resist any temptation to allocate to all home ticket holders those monstrously ghastly "clacker" devices of the type issued to Leicester fans during their Prem-winning season. I've heard other clubs using them since. Not at Ashton Gate, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only right therefore that they price this game to get the maximum revenue. I expect and wouldnt begrudge paying £50+. Maybe knock off a tenner as a goodwill gesture for season ticket holder I would begrudge paying it. The club have a published price structure and should honour it and respect the fans.
