    I honestly don't know. I'm not sure I've ever felt less attachment to, and belief in, this club. We seem like a pointless entity. This season, from start to finish - permeated by a brief glimmer of minor respite - has been a shambles.

    Appoint a manager and start our recruitment drive with a proper show of intent, and I might be re-engaged. But otherwise, I just don't see the point anymore. I feel done.

    That’s better than 5,000 paying £150.

    After the at they were taken in by archie Christie, albeit in the guise of boy from Brazil, I don't take much notice of anything they say. At the end of the day, its just opinions that hold no more weight than those on here.

    Improve the match day experience by having a good team. A bit of paint and new photos?

    I suppose that there is more to it, than just watching the current players. Like a lot on here, I have been watching City since the last century (scary thing time). For me it is a chance to meet with family and friends, which would otherwise be lost. I think that the world is a strange place now, politics, health, lifestyle all changing, sometimes not for the better. So yes I will be unhappy with the state of the club, but it is part of me and I am not going to lose it if I can avoid doing so.

    I’ll trump that and say thats we’d easily get 5000 paying £350 even if it meant some people paying monthly.

    And I suspect that'll be part of the decision for me too. Ive previously attended games with my old man and a couple of mates. The social side of it is part of the day, but we've become accustomed to getting together and watching it on the box, having a few beers, the wives get together and catch up etc. Things have changed. And its not like the matchday experience is a compelling draw to bring us back into the fould. It's just not enjoyable and the product itself is shite

    So, for some watching City is a lifestyle choice, the football itself not so important.

    I am still a City supporter but only because i haven't watched them every week on i-follow.
    Part-timer i know but any fool can see the crap on offer from the worst football city in the league.
    I would be done with them long ago if not for the meet-up with friends/inmates and dragging along family via flexcards.

    I see buying the cheap ST's as helping out a bradford charity at just over £10 a month you too can provide a retirement home for the likes of billy clarke,evans above,the don etc.
    Give the charity the chance to re-home strikers so they can go elsewhere and achieve promotion.
    A worthy cause.

    'the buy from brazil', a publication whose articles became stranger and stranger to read. Pointless reading by the end.

    The EFL has had a salary cap, warts and all, in the lower leagues for the past 10 years. The recent argument with the PFA over the fixed salary cap has simply resulted in the EFL reverting to the previous version, the SCMP.

    The more important issue is whether the existing salary cap will continue in its current form or whether the EFL can negotiate a replacement with the clubs and the PFA for the coming season. I trust the club can manage the cap better than they did last year or we'll be on the back foot again chasing those who chose to manage it better.

    Fine, football for all then even if it is at the lowest level of English football. There’s probably a reason why no other EFL club have offered tickets as cheap as us for the last 10 years. MK dons have a huge stadium so why haven’t they given tickets away to increase fanbase?

    There is a myth that affordable football leads us to where we are it doesn’t it’s bad management. The five yea of progress shows what can be done twice we have been close to the championship using this model.
    As well as th benefits of extra ancillary money it brings in on shop sales catering sponsorship it should done properly attract better players. The last thing we want is 5000 people in that stadium

    To clarify, I don’t want to see 5000 crowds at VP either. Part of the enjoyment is the atmosphere inside the ground.
    But...even at £149 there’s no guarantee that there will be a large uptake of sales. 9000 committed last season and were very badly let down. We could be down to 7500 next season so the model you talk about is flawed at those numbers. We need 12000-15000 to make it a viable concept.
    So there has to be a tipping point where we’re down to levels of the hardcore fanbase who will pay whatever the price is.

    But we've had suceess since the cheap tickets we're introduced in 2007, the problem is we've made some bad choices with regards our choice of managers.
    Right up to the season McCall took us to Wembley we had season on season improvement, then a certain clown thought we could get rid of seasoned pros and replace them with kids and nobodies, now I agree we can't put all the blame on Rahic because poor decisions have been made since he got the boot but unfortunatly that where it started.
