They'll expand, and they will do it soonish - my guess is 'as part of' the other other work on the Etihad campus.

That's because they still haven't come up with an easy way to get rid. I've always got a spare kids ticket in the family stand for night games but it's too much of a pain for me to have to find a buyer and upgrade it. I'd happily confirm to the club when it's not required so they could resell it. They could give me a couple of quids worth of shop vouchers each time or a discount off next year's ticket.

You can often see groups of 2 or 3 seats empty in all stands. If you're away or ill there's not a lot you can do, unless you know someone who can take them

Dont forget a lot of people walk round to 111/112 and 116/117 and stand with there mates leaving a seat that looks empty

If you had been given the snip at th eage of 13 there would still be loads of seats available

As I'm going to be back in Europe it's quite likely that we'll be able to get back over for maybe 3-4 games easily next season. I know there are quite a few on here who might be in a similar position so maybe we could put our heads together and come up with something workable. Not just necessarily the overseas people but also those who can't go all that frequently.

If we can work it out I'd be happy in principle to lay out for them and we could then agree who'll take them for what matches and divvy up the appropriate portions of cost. In terms of logistics I'd be happy to leave them in the hands of my Wozza (Sister of Fu) or someone who's at every home game who people could then hook up with to collect as and when needed and then get them back to her post match. (Sorry Woz I'm volunteering you theoretically....but you could take mates too if they were "spare").

Does anyone have any appetite for this kind of idea? I'd propose getting a pair together as that seems more sensible?

Thoughts? If you are interested, let me know on here and then maybe PM me your email address


Hah thats funny was thinking the exact same thing! Me and CTK were going to do it last year but it never got past the idea stage, id be intrested in it definitely.
derby day the scores were level,

Good lad.....right well, on the basis that I've already got married this year I figure that I've dealt with my major commitment issues so I should be good to follow this through.

Drop me your details mate and let's see what other interest there might be and we can take it further etc

Cheers

Can't see myself investing in a shared SC, but would most likely be willing to "rent" it a couple of times.

Sorry mate, I wasn't really saying that I needed anyone to "invest" as such.

I'd just like to see if between us we could likely utilise 2 seasoncards for the season. If I ultimately ended up paying for them for 50% of the season (for both cards) I wouldn't be that arsed as I'd know I would be guaranteed tickets.

What I'd like to do though is see who would be up for "renting" as you put it and then agree between us who wants which/how many matches so we could all plan the visits over etc etc
