Jesus you are sensitive it was meant as a joke, more money than sense, if you’ve got it spend it, I know I couldn’t justify that sort of money. As for selling your ticket on plenty do it at City, although the club are clamping down on unofficial sites like Facebook, where fans don’t sell above face value to each other, City want your ticket to sell to tourists at an increased mark up.
This myth in empty seats is just that, we have no more than anyone else, it’s just other fans have nothing else to to have a go at us about, so it’s a cheap shot everyone seems to buy into. Most games are sold out, the reason seats aren’t taken are down I would assume to other things in people’s lives, if you see a large group of seats not taken it will be down to the club giving these areas to corporate or other groups who haven’t taken up the full allocation, usually against a lower end sides like your Stoke or West Broms, not everyone in a school supports City up here, I know hard to believe but those are the facts.
City before their defeat to Wigan we’re fighting on 4 fronts, as I’ve said before the majority of fans are still working class and struggling to get to premier league games, never mind league cup, champions league and fa cup. So 3 games in a week they just can’t afford it, so they pick and choose, factor in for example a trip to Wembley, easy for the London teams isn’t it, just get in the tube for us it’s add another £30-50 travel possibly more if you stay overnight and you can see the choices have to be made.
