pete 318 Posted December 3, 2017 Exactly what we need to stretch our diminished resources. Expecially following the busy Christmas programme and injured players not looking close to return. Suggest we blow this deliberately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted December 3, 2017 For the first time in all my years supporting City i have absolutely zilch interest in the Cup draw. Gone are the days of booking holidays around League and cup games making sure i do not miss the chance of visiting a ground i have not been to so Jan 6th Luton Airport it is for a flight to Lanzarote. ''Er Indoors cannot take in the apathy that has descended over me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,745 Posted December 3, 2017 Given that we''ve been knocked out of the cup by the 3rd round stage in something like 14 of the last 17 seasons....I don''t think we''ve too much to worry about?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted December 3, 2017 The only home cup game I have missed in years was last season v Southampton when silly ticket prices were tried. Watching cup highlights now on tv I will go to a home draw provided the ticket price is reasonable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,229 Posted December 3, 2017 Thought you’d just been on holiday for the AGM Til? Another one so soon? Mrs T must feel like it’s Xmas every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted December 3, 2017 No Duncan the holiday was just a thought at the time but firmed it up for January. As for the AGM i left it for those who like to turn up and rollover to have their tummies tickled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,296 Posted December 3, 2017 With a few to return from loans, Naismith, Thompson and others, a good cup run might be what’s needed to put our fringe players in for that competitive edge to push the squad on.Which fan doesn’t want a good cup run?

Duncan Edwards 2,229 Posted December 3, 2017 Christ Tilly, if that’s not a wake up call I don’t know what is? Crafty is saying that you think the same way as him....would you like me to seek a section 136? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwans Big Toe 312 Posted December 4, 2017 Nope. Another 3rd round exit on the cards.Still they''ll probably be able to charge £20 a ticket which will help the ailing finances no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,229 Posted December 4, 2017 I reckon they could get £35 for this. Lots of people willing to pay that to see a side of Chelsea’s calibre. £10 for kids and I think they’d do tremendously well. A real opportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What with Mr and Mrs Smith not prepared to sell or put their hands in their pockets the money to run the club has to come from some where and after all, at the rate we''re going, coffin dodgers with season tickets are going to make up the vast majority of supporters at home games within 5-10 years.

BroadstairsR 2,139 Posted December 5, 2017 "Coffin dodgers?"What an ignorant remark.Every living person, every living creature will die one day.Are you incapable of working that simple fact out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
