Last pre season game for the Sky Blues, we may use this as a proper game? Any body else going?

I haven''t contacted the club as I got 2 last week and I guess they may be sending them out in batches........don''t panic!!

Still waiting for 2 of mine!

Just noticed on oddschecker that City are 40/1 to be top of the league after week 1............with a massive away following at Wigan is this a good bet or am I dreaming?

Now if the club wanted to get some good PR they should offer the buy back tickets at special rates, afterall these seats have already been sold once!! They will know in advance how many they have, why not offer the adult season ticket holder a flat £10 incentive as a refund and sell the tickets for £25 regardless of categories. The club makes a net £15 and the fans get a good deal...........what do you think?

With the Premier League comes the TV money and this is massive and will mean the club will be financially secure. Therefore whilst I know we have a limited number of casual seats we should still offer value for our supporters, most of whom may have had their income squeezed over the last 12 months. The board is right to catergorise the games, that I agree with, but think the category A seats are still over priced. Some of the lowe categories offer better value but if the club want to be fair then perhaps they should add another category for live TV games, especially on a Monday night. Not so sure Sunderland will sell their 2.500 allocation or that long distance season ticket holders will always travel (I will have 4 empty seats for this game). Why not use these games to reward and encourage the families to see a Premier League game and charge a nomimal price like £10 adults and £5 for kids?  

As I sit just behind the dug out I asked the club a while back about this, they suggested nothing has changed?

Got 2 away season tickets but on holiday so hopefuly there will be plenty of tickets to go round for those that would like to go.

When I registered my away stubs I gave them to the ticket office.........surely this method stops all this?

Hull won''t want to be paying any of Bullard''s wages. According to their local newspaper, Hull Daily Mail, Bullard is trying to get a final pay off so he can leave!

Can anybody post an image of the on the ball bottle? I would like to see it before making a comment.

Sorry, think mine ended up in the bin. Thanks for the hiding, if it wasn''t for you we wouldn''t be in the premier league!

Not many pink kits out there......would make a change!

Thanks Harry, I assume the rates will be updated for this season. However going by those as a rough guide on 2000 buy backs during the whole season the club could earn an extra £50K net turnover, and with no additional costs involved, it''s a rich source of income, every little helps!!!

No thanks.....Never again would be too soon!!

A good source of revenue for the club must be selling buy back tickets as these can be sold at whatever the rate is dependent on the category of the game I bet there aren''t many season ticket holders who can make every game, and on average this could be in the region of a few hundred, over a season the number could be a few thousand. Does anybody know the full details of what the season ticket holder gets in return for putting their tickets up for by back. Perhaps if the terms and conditions were well known then more supporters may be tempted to help out..

Mrs T, what a super treat, I would love a pie at the Stoke game, that''s if you can find me! .......I might have a new seat!

Blimey, you must be sat next to me.........I have a seat in row B, 105, and I am worried I might get moved, where is yours?

I heard that our old fashioned dug out may be outlawed in the premier league as benches aren''t up to the quality and image required. If this is the case do we have to replace them with sponsored seats? If so these will take up more room so will a number of seats that are currently behind the dugout be moved?  

You get a ticket, confirming you have an AST!

glad you are getting your shirt Mrs T, how about a new thread, When are the squad numbers released? Lol !

Good news, got mine but can''t make the Chelsea away game due to hols.......roll on Wigan!

How about a clue, the club web site, it''s next week.......blimey we need to keep a lock on the number of new pointless thrreads...

Don''t blame the lad, he didn''t even have an agent, don''t think he could believe the size and length of the contract......however no thanks, he jumps out of tackles, and is tooooo expensive.

Barnsley are skint, that''s why Robbins left!! How can they afford to pay for him? Next rumour please....
