City fans singing about their empty seats

People mistake the empty seats for available seats too. Most of them aren’t (which is sodding annoying for people like me that are no longer st holders)

Can't believe City allow seats in tier 1 to go to 3rd party providers. It's every game you see a whole group together right near the pitch.

We have ours up in the gods. Cameras don't always pick them up but we've not been full every game this year.

You're right, Melts.

United's Spanish fan club cancelled a trip to the Reading game before Xmas. 285 seats. A problem with the charter airline going bust.

We watched the match here in a bar on Mallorca and easily spotted our allocated space.

The club never made these seats available for re-sale. They already had our money.

Aye cos it’s fecking pricey! 4 home games in 11 days, right after Christmas and we were getting flak for not selling them all out 😂

There’s quite a bit in tier one for us that’s season ticket holders that just don’t go or resell the seat, particularly in the family stand. The price for a child season ticket, you only need to go to a few games before it’s monetarily better than doing what I do which is buy the games I know I can get to.

The corporate ones or third party ones, I was reading the other day how that’s started to take a load of away tickets too (for all clubs), which I think is just wrong.

As long as the seats are sold though, the clubs really don’t care.

Bet they were gutted too beeb, did they get their money back off the airline at least?

Hope the recovery is still going well btw. Can’t remember if I asked, did you get that kfc you wanted?

Trying to entice day trippers I bet with better seats but when they don't sell it makes you look so poor.

Above me in the quadrant (Stretty side) there's usually a lot of empty ones these days whether they are unsold or unused I don't know for sure.

Thanks for asking, Melts. The post-radiotherapy pains are easing each day. Back to normal soon, hopefully. Can't see us getting back any money from the airline but, get this, the club has indicated that the tickets would be good for any forthcoming third round cup game.

… and, unfortunately, the only KFC available here is on the other 'tourist' side of this island. Might be worth 150Km round trip when I'm up to it, but I've been told that they don't do the chicken gravy down here.

Is NOTHING sacred?

Ha!

That’s great news beeb, really glad you’re feeling better

If the tickets are still available, then you’ll have to come over next season and get a kfc at the same time! I’m a bit intrigued whether those 250 seats are just going to stay empty from now on in every third round cup game though just waiting for you all!

Don’t tell python that he claims you always sell out every week.
