There have been demos with City and rs fans at the grove about high prices for away games. Read what I wrote properly I'm not singling out arsenal fans. I said all fans. And we have joined in protesting it.
I'm not going to old Trafford as I don't want to pay it. I'm not going to wembley as the ticket allocation is crap.

Little old Hull,do me a favour. Mr Allam may not be Abramowich but he's hardly scraping by and he's helped Hull financially to propel them back to the league.

They will all earn a fortune from sky and bt, enough to keep them going so they can All pass it on. Little old Hull my a**e.

Just in case you hadn't noticed when it comes to ticket pricing its usually Arsenal they pick on which is fine, we charge a lot but don't get blinded by the BS. All clubs are at it, little old Hull indeed.

Arsenal and Liverpool fans protest at ticket prices - Telegraph

Manchester City protest banner at Arsenal ticket price of £62 ...

Well done A**e fans for protesting at your club with the RS about ticketing prices. But couldn't find the protest with City fans. "Home fans should bear the brunt as they have less to travel usually". Thanks great solidarity that is. Let those that can afford to travel pay less and home supporters should pay more. Thereby squeezing home supporters budgets so that they can't afford to go the game. Great. I bet that went down well with the RS and their tourist supporters. I suppose your sold out notices would suggest that those attending away games have the money.

Man City fans protested a few years back at the prices they were being charged at Wigan. "It can't be right for everyone to jump on the bandwagon when it's about London clubs apparently ripping off away fans yet everybody looks away when it's the other way round". Don't do the London persecuted thing. Last time it was Wigan, and this time you are joining in the RS opportunist bandwagon against little old Hull. I wonder when we can all join Tory Brady and her ticket price demo's?

Those that run The A**e are not short of a bob or two. So don't go on about the wealth of owners. Football isn't an even playing field and the rich clubs, with billionaire backers, like The A**e are always going to have a leg up. The vast majority of The A**e fans bemoan that Wenger doesn't spend enough and they pay top dollar for not winning the league for years and years. Not the price away fans pay.

With the new TV deal there is no reason why all tickets couldn't come down to £20 per game for everyone. But ....

Anyway, enjoy your trip to the City of Culture. £1.85 for a pint of Tetley's or £2 for a Lager, in the pubs, may soften the blow of paying £50.

Come on City, 3 points will do nicely. Good luck Villa, and thanks.

Categorising is BS. We played Hull at home in October and they were one of the more organised teams we played and the really attacked us and could have had all 3 PTA if we hadn't scored a last minute equaliser. For that brilliant game they paid 26 pounds whereas the game with Chelsea was dull as fox yet cost more than double.

No away fans should pay more than £25 max. Home fans should bear the brunt as they have less to travel usually. It can't be right for everyone to jump on the bandwagon when it's about London clubs apparently ripping off away fans yet everybody looks away when it's the other way round.
It's a myth that we are all wealthy down here and can afford it. The majority of away fans are long term died in the wool fans for most clubs, so are likely to have been around long term so are rarely the 'tourists'. So it's not right to keep ripping them off.

Granted we must be mugs, our away end has sold out. Should be copying the rs and boycotting.

This won't be popular in these parts but hear me out.

Man Utd losing this weekend and the rs winning is a good thing. Be even better if the Chavs are so busy celebrating they let them get something next week, whilst Pardew refuses to lose yet another game and beats Utd.

The logic being Brenda is not as good as he or the rs think he is.
He has won one iffy game and one dodgy penalty in Europe and his buying policy means champions league money will be spunked on average English players or Euro trash(see Mad Mario).
4th place would mean they keep Gnashers whilst being caught by Everton/spurs/Saints/an other. Europa will mean the sack and a good manager in place of Brenda.

Whereas keeping Utd out for 2 seasons in a row means more overspending and difficulty attracting top level players without overpaying players with less motivation because of no champions league(see Falcao and Di Maria). Another year in the Europa means teams 6-10 th can catch up to them and no premier league trophy for them.

Sorry lad, but letting the RS back in the UCL again would be a disaster for the Premier League. We're at risk of having fourth place qualifies for the CL taken away from us, and letting the RS back in it again would only compound it. What chance then do the teams who are already struggling to reach fourth actually have of getting third? Absolutely none.

I'm already cringing at how bad English clubs are in Europe, it's an absolute embarrassment, just like the national team, anything that worsens that would make my eyes literally pop out in a huge mega cringe. Now I'm not saying that United would improve English prospects straight away, as we've seen they've been awful this season, but at least they should offer something resembling a challenge next season due to their resources, more familiarity with LVG's methods, and actually feeling like they belong at that level.
