Bellend Sebastian Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 I suppose it's a gesture and it might stop the crowd from being embarrassingly titchy, but like the giveaway to those that supposedly haven't been for a while, I think there's a danger that it's counter productive. If the game is dreadful, which on the balance of probability it will be, those that are in attendance that don't usually go are hardly likely to turn up again any time soon, and are even less likely to actually BUY a ticket. It'll just serve as a reminder as to why they don't bother with it any more. Stuff like this only works if the team is playing well but for some reason attendances are down...it doesn't really work like that at City because when they're doing well all the part timers come out of the woodwork
stevec Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 The amazing offers continue - as a Season Ticket holder of some 16 years I had a "special" letter today saying its my birthday this month and I could buy "my" ticket for a fiver for the Cardiff game. A bargain - only a fiver for a seat I already paid for. You wonder what they do at the Ticket Office to dream up such effective use of the customer database. They should perhaps instead notice I don't use the catering facilities anymore after years of utter dross service and standards (and I love my pukka pies).
Tommy G Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 I wont bother with the freebie thanks. Im not a season tkt holder but can get hold of tickets through work or through my dads mates most home games. I have turned down 3 games this season and will turn this down again. what a waste of petrol, especially at the current bloody prices!!

Master Fox Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 So, am I the only one who gets sent naked photos of Tim Davies??
Dr The Singh Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 So, am I the only one who gets sent naked photos of Tim Davies?? Yeah and why does Tim Davies keep sending me nude photo's of Master Fox???????
Master Fox Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Yeah and why does Tim Davies keep sending me nude photo's of Master Fox??????? I’m not quite sure? He refers to me as his ‘special fan’
Simi Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Yeah great gesture Milan, give tickets to the people that already have them so they can give them to the same people that still haven't paid for a match this year. But I suppose this will keep many happy. 20% off in the Shop, woopee. Still putting money back into the club! I don't care if people say I'm ungrateful, it's still stupid. Wouldn't mind a free away game every now and then.
Mack Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Hi all, If anyone has 2 tickets going spare then please give me a shout with a PM. I'm hoping this will be our new Manager's first game in charge!?
Webbo Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 This could be Jean Tigana's first home match, have you thought about that?
Trumpet Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 I'll give you a Fiver each... Plus a few beers You can have mine for a fiver each! Ill throw in a season ticket aswell! PLEASE!?!?!?!
He's not bald Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 You can have mine for a fiver each! Ill throw in a season ticket aswell! PLEASE!?!?!?! To be honest I feel the same...the way things are at the moment and with it being on sky...if it's as cold on the night as it is at now I will stuggle to use my ST let alone any freebies...it's all very cynical anyway MM knows the attendance is gonna be crap!
Floating Fox Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 Thats a bit negative Davie G!!! I think thats spot on. Two free tickets as reward for the dross we have had to endure... Yeah but 2 Free tickets? Why would you want more tickets to a game you've already got a ticket to? I guess you could sell them, so its better than nowt.

Wouldn't mind a free away game every now and then. Your spot on, but he can't really pay for the away games as the money is going to the home side (i.e Bristol). I suppose he could subsidise it, but Milan has been quite good with providing free travel to some games. Better than most wankers that call themselves Chairmen! Anyweeee, Can I have your ticket? I like cardiff. You know.

Nath Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 This is the third game in a row they have given free tickets away.
Floating Fox Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 This is the third game in a row they have given free tickets away. Will be my 4th or 5th (I can't remember, they're all the same - shite) home game and I haven't paid for any Mugs.
Raj Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 As a ST for many years,i dont mind the Club giving away freebies when they know the crowd is gonna be piss poor anyway. If it entices a few more people to come on a regular basis then it can only be good. It may be deemed as an empty gesture but it is a gesture none the less. MM didnt have to do it did he?.. If it gets a few armchair fans out to support City on a cold bitter Monday night when the game is live on Sky anyway(!!!) then good on them
hebangsthedrums Posted 15 November 2007 Posted 15 November 2007 I would be a happy recipient of any spares - have a job interview monday so have the day off. Please PM I'd be happy to paypal some beer/pie money.

I am not a season ticket holder due to Work committments, I get down as often as I possibly can... Does that make me "armchair fan"?

volpeazzurro Posted 16 November 2007 Posted 16 November 2007 A nice gesture by Milan and although I can understand the more cynical reasons for why he's doing it, he didn't have to do it. I hope it goes well for him and we get a big crowd. The only thing is if the football is the same as in previous weeks it could well backfire and put any new prospective customers off. What I would suggest is that someone like Milan tells Burrows and Taggart to drop the Megson 3-5-2 system with 8 defenders and have a 4-4-2 with some of our previously unseen more attacking players included. I for one don't give a toss if we loose this one but for just once want to see us attack and have a go with a bit of passion and give us a bit of entertainment!! Cheers.
