I actually was surprised the rise was only 4 or 5% this year. I was expecting more. Mine has gone up £35 I think
I'd rather it didn't but I'm not too unhappy.
And I'm not sure you're right about the club risking it being half empty. Midweek games are a struggle for me and whenever I have listed my ticket on Seat Exchange it has sold within an hour. Who has bought it I do not know but there is clearly no shortage of demand.

I think Nick's dead right personally. Some have commented and some have said don't moan and I'm pretty sure the 2nd lot aren't the season ticket holders.
I've had a season ticket for over 50 years and will do for as long as i'm in good health. I'm quite happy about the price and increase- what's out of order is the email yesterday giving today until April 4th to get one when every other year it's been May. No advance notice, no warning. Luckily i can afford it, some people are going to have to make some quick alternative arrangements.

There will be no trouble getting replacements even with the extension to the North stand. Still how does this change the complexion of the fan base?

Genuine question: Would they be there "to watch Manchester City play" or there because they're (new) City supporters?
That's one thing I see with the Spanish teams: people want to be able to go and say they've seen the team play in the flesh, even though they're not supporters (I've done so myself), but wouldn't do it week in, week out. However, waiting at a bus stop earlier, I saw a group of 7 Russian people, who I'd have put in the age range 30-40. 3 of them were wearing City clobber (two t-shirts, one also with a visible keyring, and one backpack). I don't understand how you can start 'supporting' a team at that age, especially with no connections (like Dzeko with BiH, Haaland with Norway, etc.) to your country (unless there's been a wave of 'Akanji fever' in Switzerland).

Really really ill thought through decision. And reading the article, it seems Forest are not alone. And virtually all the extra income will simply go on Divock Origi’s salary. Who quite frankly, has done less than the square root of fuck all.
It won’t be long before people will say enough is enough and simply vote with their feet and full stadiums become a thing of the past. Not dissimilar to the 1980s.

Full stadiums won't be a thing of the past. It's getting harder and harder to get a ticket. There's a massive waiting list for season tickets and for all we moan my season ticket in Colin Bell lower near the half way line is £900 next season. Everyone that puts a ticket on ticket exchange gets them snapped up straight away. My wife is off to see Stevie Nicks in June at the new Co-Op Arena and it's £110. Footballs cheap by comparison.
