Looked true from where I was

See, this is what happens when I'm not around.

Pretty reasonable.Meaningless pre season jogalong. Arse fans wander over at their local leisure.
City fans forced to pay to travel 200 miles.
For what?

To fill the FA's coffers and try help to make a profit for Wembley Stadium.

When push comes to shove, I don't think the FA really care about fans to that extent, certainly not northern ones because, if they did, the new national stadium that is now known as Wembley would have been built in the North, or possibly somewhere like Birmingham and not in London.

I am quite certain that you are right Mikhail. Except I am certain the FA don't give a toss for any fans...We are simply customers buying their commodity at a grossly inflated price.

The FA ceased to be custodians of the English game many years ago

Is that an official anti-City agenda account?

As far as I'm aware, we didn't sell out our allocation, and Arsenal did. Not sure how many of the tickets reserved for the military within each set of fans were utilised, though.

It was quite obvious early on that we wouldn't sell out and with Arsenal having nothing more than an underground journey there was always a chance that we'd be looking the poor cousin. Maybe that's why we played the way we did?
