CTID Bar BS3, I've read a few of your posts over the last few weeks r.e. this whole season ticket fiasco. It's clear you don't have an issue with the prices etc, which is great, glad to hear you've renewed and you'll be cheering the boys on next season. I also agree wholeheartedly that Saturday's without a few pre-match beers, meeting up with friends and watching City would be dire and no doubt boring. But the point I think you're missing is that because you personally are okay with everything, others might not be. I'm disgusted with the way the club has adopted their season ticket approach and this comes at a time when the atmosphere has been dreadful and on-pitch form not hitting expectations. Due to the lack of notice I simply do not have the money to renew right now, so can't. Likewise, chaps I work with have decided they can no longer afford to go due to kids ticket increases. As I said, fair play to you and I'm happy you can continue your Saturday routine and support, but no need to take aim at people who haven't renewed for a number of reasons. Doesn't make them less a supporter and I'm sure they're fully aware their Saturday's won't be the same from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s was about Saturday’s being rubbish without football. Mentioning that people might consider it before not renewing is not having a dig at anyone. I haven’t renewed yet. I can’t afford it really, but I’ll sort it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTID I'd much rather not go than line the pockets of over paid agents, players and suits, whilst my fellow fan is priced out. The more that opt out the better. And yes I'll be at non-league football having a great time, as they're clubs, not businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday without City is rubbish. I still feel the Championship shouldn't break for the International window. Clubs have large squads and should use them to the full. Rugby union club games don’t stop for the Home Internationals . The “ international break “ is mind numbingly dull . If club games were taking place at the time as internationals , even less fans would be interested in the national teams than are now . I know 80k turn up at Wembley to watch Igrld . Must be so as not to distract from where fans would much prefer to be , watching their own clubs or the Saturday PM results arriving frenzy on BBC or Sky . BBC did not mention EFL divs 1 and 2 to my knowledge on Saturday. You are right , squads are big enough to cope . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
