All that waiting for nothing.

2 o'clock tomorrow then....... can't see there being much left by then.


Might be 9 am mate. Who knows?

Reminds me a little of the first Barca match - one minute I was number 8000 odd in the queue, 20 minutes later it was sold out.

Also sadly reminiscent of queuing up for an FA Cup ticket against Leicester in the mid 90s. For 2 hours in the pouring rain although the queue was quite small. Attendance truned out to be about 19,000.

This is our City!!!

Thankful for being on the cup-scheme on days like today. £35 in my usual seat in 317.

If the queues people were experiencing are anything to go by this could sell out by the end of the day!

I had a Chinese lad sat next to me at PSG taking pictures all game which was annoying... - the pictures bit - not the fact he was Chinese ;) - Oh - and he was wearing a Liverpool "You'll Never Walk Alone" wristband. A City fan would be nice for this one!

I was 25,000 at one point but it took me 10 minutes to get in. Although it was still a disaster after that.

My son queued for 2 hours at the ground this morning because he couldn't get through on the phone or online. At one stage they were told that due to the system being down they might get paper tickets, or perhaps their season cards charged but that the ticket office would take phone numbers to ring people to let them know what had been decided!! People were already turning up early to get in the queue for Cityzens without SCs and were told that they would have to come back tomorrow because of the backlog.

Chaos.

He eventually got sorted out, ticket charged to his card, after a four hour round trip for a three mile each way journey.

2 hours to do 6 miles? Is his surname Bony?

No, his name is Wayne Bridge. It took him so long because he could only turn left.

I've heard the allocation for the away leg is 3,600 at an eye watering €100.
Hope it's not that much but it's what I'm expecting now. And some think City and the Prem know how to overcharge.

Suppose the problem is that you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Would much rather be sold out with genuine blues but the number of empty seats against West Brom was a bit concerning.

I'm still a real believer though that you can't create sell out crowds of genuine fans overnight, a few more years of sustained success and will be selling out with genuine fans every week

Thank you! So now I know why Bony stands around for so long on the pitch - he is waiting for trams and buses!

Someone better tell him where the tram stop is or he will stand around for ever and will never leave us.


Taxi for Mr Bony seems the best way.

Was thinking more the new, younger, generation choosing us over other clubs due to our stature. Agree regarding the token fans though

I've been tasked with getting 4 other tickets in block 110, that's never going to happen, surely?
