United Away (Friday 7th)

[AjcW]

It really doesn't sit well with me, judging other fans for attending games, no matter the cost or circumstances.

 

Some people, due to life circumstances just don't get to attend many games, and it sucks, believe me i'm one of them! 

A Friday night game anywhere in the country, any competition is a dream for me, it's the one day I can guarantee my partner will never be working.

 

As a result of not being able to go to as many games as i'd like i'm not currently a season ticket holder either, which means I probably still won't go to this game as the club has reduced the allocation and it wont make members/gen sale.

 

Yes, the price sucks, but everyones circumstances are different. For me, being able to attend the odd midweek or weekend game means that I can spend more on those occassions because my overall outlay across the season is a lot less. 

 

There will be other circumstances for fans who have purchased tickets too, maybe this is the perfect opportunity to take a family member along who can't normally go, or a friend they barely get to see who lives in Manchester.

 

I'd much rather have seen us have that 3k allocation, let people who can go, go, and organise a protest at the ground similar to the United fans example above! 

 

I've said it on here a million times before, no one knows other peoples circumstances and no one should ever be judged on attending a game of ****ing football.

 

Fine, boycott and go to your non league sides or watch on tv... but don't judge others for choosing to attend.

There are still 100+ left and has been on members for a while now.

Personally think we should be able to judge those who go to this. By attending you're justifying the insane prices being charged.

This is the problem with English football. No matter what clubs charge, you invariably have people queueing up to take tickets that others are boycotting.

In Germany they act more as a collective, and look at their ticket prices compared to ours. English fans are much more selfish

No disrespect at all but this is why football has evolved from us being fans to Customers/ clients and being shafted financially.

 

If you do want to attend by all means go but don't try and justify your own circumstances and look for approval.

 

This is like those who pay for sky tv  but  then moan when they change the time to suit their tv schedule needs and it inconveniences you.

 

nearly ALL the FA cup times for this section of the draw is ridiculous and if "fans/ customers/ clinets" don't bother to moan or sanction against it, the billionaire owners are just laughing at us.

 

Thankfully  the hardcore of fans who protested against the super league didn't just sit back and just grumble about it but actually did something as they have prolonged the inevitable but atleast they made a stand.

Close to two blocks, way less than normal. Maybe 1,500 

How much of that is paying city fans tho. From early on you could see neat chunks of seats taken out. Ofc the odd single, pair or block of 3 are genuine buyers, but I’d wager we take about 500 paying fans to this

Definitely 200ish minimum were chunks of seats that were already gone.

The encapsulated problem. For me. Individualistic. It's exactly how they've been able to get away with this nonsense pricing, because someone will always pay it.

 

There are plenty of people who, like you, can afford to go and can make the time, but they are rightly taking the high ground and refusing to pay a minimum £50 for a ticket to a fourth round FA Cup game on TV on a Friday night.

 

It absolutely stinks, and when they inevitably get rid of the £30 cap I hope there's plenty more collective disgust than there is "I'm alright Jack".

Not what I’ve said at all though is it. I’m aware there’s no arguing with some on this topic, but still wanted to say my peace.

Most of which won't turn up. Hopefully there are some nice big gaps in our end.

Allocation now cut to 1340, so the last block not opening

Still a fair few left in the existing block, hopefully plenty of gaps in there

[ElusiveEd]

I just don't get the logic.

 

3-4000 fans @ £30 a ticket earns more than 1340 fans @ £52

They'll be selling the spare 2k tickets to home fans for £52, and they'll probably sell.

Not so sure, I have a Man U mate who's seriously angry as they want £66 for home fans and he and his mates ain't going.

 

Maybe they'll get the tourists snapping em up!

 

There was a video and/or audio going around a couple of days ago of seriously angry fans confronting Radcliffe about wanting £66 off em for the game.

Extra 3k tourist home fans at £72 a ticket.  Almost like the people running a multi billion dollar business kinda know what they’re doing

And alienating every other home grown fan as they do it. 

[ElusiveEd]

Be interesting to see if those stands fill up. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Another 500 returned to Man Utd.

 

Don't scab, don't go!

[CrazyKopCorner]

If you're going to this you are one serious hardy loaded barsteward 

 

I'll be watching from behind my settee and switching off when their 2nd goal goes in usually on 5, 15, 30 or 45 minutes 

[SK3Blue]

Not a member so have no access but is this anywhere near to selling the now 1300 allocation?

I'm judging you and every other person there as is my right. 

 

I won't hurt your feelings on here with the judgement but needless to say it's not great.

I'm not going, but I stand by the fact people shouldn't be judged for attending ANY game of football, we don't know everyones circumstances.

 

I'm not even linking it to money or income or whatever.... going to that game might be the one thing outside of someones mundane day to day that they're looking forward to doing. 

 

Criticise and shout at the higher ups. Personally I think us taking 1000 when we could have taken 9000 is more than enough of an up yours to the boards of both teams! (they'll still have to staff an away end, segregate etc etc)

 

Shouting at your own fans is the easy way out, classism has always been the easy way out in football, there's opinions i'd like to share on the steretypical person who goes to a game, drinks 15 pints at a cost of nearly £100 before hand, moans about the cost of football but couldn't tell you the ****ing score come 6pm....

This is 100% the best way to watch Leicester this season

Also "hurt my feelings" is such a weird threat... you've just said it's your right to judge people... so surely it's my right to call you out on judging people? Or is that not how it works on your high horse?
