Maybe this is why Wardle is talking with Pearce, as we have a few more grand to spend now.

ridiculous AGAIN - how long are we going to put it with it city? Oh yeah, forever, as "it gives us money from sky" as stuart kept telling us fans last year, tough shit on the rest of us eh!
And thanks for ruining my birthday by making me not get home til late night due to a stupid kick off time and stupid buses and trains!
(yes, i'm in a bad mood, so it's coming out on here! I'm still ctid though!)

It's more than we got last year by Christmas. the three o'clock kick off thing really needs addressing. I hate Sky

Stop mesing with the fixtures. Some of us have jobs and work late through the week. Any games being changed from Saturdays to weekdays are a total no go for me. I don't know why I bother with a season ticket when the fixture alterations mean I can't go to about a 1/4 of them. Can't see City giving us ??115 back from my s/t price for the games I'll miss. I don't think I'll be renewing next year. I nearly didn't this time round.
I think thats the only way this palava will stop is by voting with your feet/

chelsea away was inevitable. i live in london (orginally from middleton) but still may not attend due to the stupid ticket price. much rather down the pub which was never the eddie way.

Me Manchester, Count yourself lucky! Never mind a quarter, I had to miss a half of all City's games last season cos of fixture changes! On second thoughts though, perhaps I was the lucky one....

The only way that Sky will stop changing kick off dates and times is if the stadiums become half empty. All of us regulars are nothing more than unpaid extras as far as Sky is concerned. They need us to provide atmosphere and noise and some spectacle. I have had a season ticket for 20 years and really, really gave it some serious thinking before I reluctantly renewed again. It had absolutely nothing to do with the season we have just had. I must have missed six games last year due to changes and some of them at very short notice to accoomdate Middleboro and Arsenal. What really rubbed salt in the wounds was when people who had already bought one-off tickets for the Easter Monday Arsenal game had their money refunded! I called at the ticket office to get my money back and was told it didn't apply to season ticket holders! You support them through thick and thin, year after yearand this is how they treat you. I have cried over City in the past and it would be heartbreaking not to have a season ticket but I am not sure I can put up with this any longer

He who pays the piper!! Will you stop blaming City for something outside of their control!!!

That's why I am no longer a season ticket holder.

I had a 'phone call from the club this week, asking why I hadn't renewed my season ticket. The main reason I gave was the constant disruption to the fixture list and the decline of the regular Saturday at 3pm kick off. I was told that 90% of non-renewers had said the same. City have got the message but, with Sky having a 10% stake in the club, what can they do? I hate Sky too...

Have given up my ticket this season,and one reason is the moving of fixtures.I am over sixty and have to rely on public transport,and the late night monday games make getting back home difficult and sometimes it costs me another ??20 for a taxi.The saturday matches with a 5-15 kick off is also difficult for me as the transport links are reduced after 6 at night.Everything has to revolve around the television to the detriment of the ordinary fans.

Nice to see some of the games changed. Pleased with Chelsea being changed, I can watch it on my hols in August in Cornwall!!!! For those of you who bought seaon tickets, hard luck but you must have known that some games would have been changed, my tip which I do is that I have a Citycard, it costs ??20 for the season but gives you first chioce over tickets when on sale. I have saved loads especially if I didn't fancy a game or couldn't because I was working. I saw City ten time last year and cost me under ??280 in total, compared to over ??500 for a season ticket in the CB stand. You also can pick and chose where you sit.You also get your bonus points and discount at the city store, maybe something to think about!!!.

i was going to go to reading away because i have never been there before, now its on a monday night i am definetly not!
im sure this will be the same with alot of loyal blues. 3,000 plus would have travelled for this fixture if it was 3oclock on the saturday. now we would struggle to sell half of the given allocation.

If you have a Monday to Friday job with traditional 9 till 5 hours. you're OK, but for the rest of us it's pointless getting a season ticket. But TV rules the roost so I suppose we have to put up with it. But what does REALLY irritate me is the loss of an entire weekend because Ing-er-land have pointless friendly matches against the Outer Mongolia's of this world. Even worse when the 'top' managers pull their 'star' players out anyway. So frustrating, especially when the fruits of this policy are shown up for the waste it is via our clueless showing in the World Cup.

This is the very reason i was unsure to renew my ticket. Not because the football is poor its becuase of all these time changes, so annoying.

Well said Joe of Sandbach. ALL the Prem clubs have this problem. It's tough, but that's the way it is. As for Blue John of London, I'm glad you've explained why you contribute such ill-informed rubbish to this site! If I'd missed half the matches, I'd also, like you, have no idea what I was on about!
