Shame we have a game Wednesday. I've enjoyed us not playing. Ideally I wouldn't see us play again until the Championship starts in August.

I don’t believe anyone genuinely thinks it’s a good idea to travel to Manchester on a school night for this. Why would you go?

Through the good times and the bad. And the possibility, albeit a small one, we might actually score a goal.

Leicester City away crowd may be alone inside Etihad Stadium for first nine minutes v Man City
Manchester City's deal with resale ticket platform viagogo has prompted calls for boycott inside the ground during next Wednesday's Premier League fixture against Leicester

Leicester City may kick off at Manchester City next week with only the away following in their seats, amid a planned protest by the home crowd.

Manchester City fans have been urged to boycott the start of next week’s Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium in a protest about the reselling of tickets.

It was announced on Thursday that Man City had entered a new “multi-year agreement” with the resale platform viagogo over hospitality tickets.

 

It comes on top of arrangements with eight different third-party operators for other types of tickets.

These deals have caused concern among some supporters that tickets could end up in the hands of away fans or be sold at exorbitant prices.

Because of that, three fans’ groups have called for people to remain on the concourse for the opening nine minutes of the champions’ encounter with Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester – a minute for each resale partner.

A joint statement from the 1894 group, Trade Union Blues and MCFC Fans Foodbank read: “This comes in a season where we’ve seen record numbers of away fans in home and away ends, many of whom have used third-party agencies to obtain tickets at inflated prices.

“This has caused safety issues and distrust among supporters who are unwilling to use the club’s ticket exchange in fears (sic) of where their ticket will end up – yet another ticket partner may only add to this.”

The platforms allow ticket-holders who can no longer attend a fixture to sell on their tickets.

City declined to comment on the calls for a partial boycott next week but, in an attempt to allay fears, have reiterated from their initial statement that viagogo will only be selling existing – not new or additional – tickets.

The statement read: “This multi-year agreement will see hospitality tickets from the club’s existing hospitality allocation for men’s home fixtures and tickets for women’s fixtures made available directly on viagogo’s platform.”

It added: “Each ticket listing will be marked with an ‘official partner’ designation, giving fans confidence in their purchase.”

The PA news agency also understands all tickets resold through viagogo will be subject to a fixed price cap.

Viagogo has been contacted for comment by the PA news agency.

They will have just as many basket weavers following the club as we do, so no doubt plenty will turn out.

It’s been the best two weeks of the season. Genuinely.

I used to hate international breaks but us not playing has been a real breath of fresh air 

I really don't want a restart of the games and feel like I can't wait till the summer and the dredging to start

Just a thought. Maybe one from 2 years back. Or even Ruud's appt.. Would it not be just like us to somehow win this (and then sink without trace)

I do genuinely believe 2 things:

 

1) we are going down with a whimper.

2) Jamie Vardy will boss one game and get us a win/draw single handedly.

Cos my travel to the game and back only costs £6.70, but even that seems like too much right now...

If it wasn’t for the fact I’d be on my own doing it I’d support this. There’s a desperate need for a concerted effort, by match going fans, to wrestle back some power.

Another catalyst to the next assault on the
