Apart from the Manchester cup ties we havent had a "big" side down in the BS era I think and I dont know if the bears and flyers SC holders had such access then. Certainly pockets of Man U in the home ends keeping quiet a few years back but it does deprive genuine city fans potentially. There may of well been Utd in the home end but when ibramovitch scored my head was like a periscope surveying must be honest I didn’t see one daft enough to give it the big un like them poor Leeds fans 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are both members, but I found out today that both memberships are in MY name, which meant I could only buy one ticket. I was on the phone queue for 90 minutes and then cut off when it sold out. If anyone finds they can’t make it then I’d be really grateful if you could bear me in mind. Of course I’m aware there will be loads like me, so I’m not holding my breath - it’s a very long shot!! I’m now sorted - thanks to a very kind poster on here. Game on!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that many City fans/ST holders forget that there are plenty of us, City fans, who support the Bears and vice versa. I have ST's for both and my near neighbours at Bears games are interested in how City are doing especially when we are both playing at the same time. I don't know how many City are ST holders for Bears and vice versa but from figures about five years ago, I suspect at least 1,000 and maybe more. Bristolians who enjoy supporting both. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a good number of tickets for the away tie put on offer after the “sold out” notice was given. There are returns, unused comps, unsold hospitality etc.. Good luck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kept saying sold out then when you refreshed some tickets came up again, this happened continuously for 20 odd minutes, I assume because people had tickets in their basket then decided they didn't want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we appreciate that to be the case and that's not the problem tbf. If you have both season tickets and purchase that's not an issue. If you have a Bears season ticket and a history of attending City games as well and purchase that is also not an issue. If you have a Bears season ticket and NO or next to no history of attending City games (i.e. you attended the Man City game and that's it) then I'm afraid that is an issue for me if there are regular attendees not able to get a ticket or if that fan purchases a ticket and gives it to his West Ham supporting mate. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
