Manchester City vs Copenhagen

Just purchased a ticket to watch Manchester City vs Copenhagen at the ethidad on Wednesday!

£22 is cheap and they are really decent seats.

I'm buzzing to see De Bruyne and Haaland play.

 

Hope they get a run out then, wouldn’t be surprised to see both of those two on the bench in case the second string can’t put 2 or 30 past Copenhagen.

 

I did think that they would be playing their second team, but even then... their second team is world class

 

Absolutely. Let us know what the whole experience including getting there/parking etc was like. I might try for tickets for the next one.

 

Enjoy it mate! Hope things are good

 

Went to the Dortmund game couple weeks ago, awesome experience, great fan park set up, great atmosphere, respect to the Dortmund fans, and a Stones 20 yarder topped it off.

£430 for a season ticket at Oakwell is an f.kng insult in comparison, especially since Ive had a ST for 15 years and all through the pandemic. 4 free tickets? Shove it. So hence I've not renewed. Going to a few more City games this season, Haaland is an absolute monster ❤️

 

My lad likes city him and alot of his school pals abit like 90s kids did with united and 80s with liverpool. Ive been debating on taking him they play nice football but as a club there everything i dislike about football. Used to like them more when they played at maine road and were a real club.

 

To be fair to them, they've sat in the shadow of the red half of the city for a long time so their fans are due a bit of limelight, and theyre Mancunians in the main. As a neutral, they play a fabulous brand of football and I endured the 80s 90s 00s so I like how much Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal fans hate the fact that City are so good.

 

I'm there in a box. Intend to get obnoxiously drunk.

 

What do you want club to charge, £60?

 

Reading your posts on here I assumed you always were!

 

..... is the standard Man U / Liverpool closet fan response.

 

For League 1 I think 300 quid is fair. Bear in mind the early bird discount ended before we had a manager, paying 330 quid on a wing and a prayer given their track record of last 2 manager appointments I refused then its 430 quid so ****** to that

 

£430 an insult in comparison aye alright. If it was oh so simple. You do realise city could charge **** all. Given they get £570m+ chucked at em from other revenues. Their season/matchday ticket income. would hardly pay a players wage for the year (de bruyne £21m pa.). Enjoy your new found team to SUPPORT. They certainly wouldn't miss your contribution.

 

Seems really easy to get tickets compared to other Premier League clubs ... odd when they are doing so well

 

Spent less than Man U and Chelsea over the last decade not to mention how much they've invested in the community and surrounding area, our owners are parasites that have took the pss out of the fans, move seats or fck off is the attitude, support pah they don't deserve it.

 

For Champions League group games, til the knockout stage, yes....cos the fan base aren't from London.

 

They may not. but the club always will. We do have a new board heading in the right direction hopefully. But you seem to want to drag up past mistakes. Fine. Get on with Supporting your new found love. Funded by people (criminals) who's wealth buys em titles.

The current EPL table toppers, Manchester City and their owners Sheikh Monsur, have been continuously criticised by Amnesty International for trying to "sports-wash" their country's "deeply tarnished image" by pouring money into the Premier League club.

The human rights group's intervention even increased the pressure on football's governing bodies to investigate a series of incendiary allegations against the club, including a deal for sports rights involving a shell company controlled by a major donor to the Tory party via a series of companies and trusts operating in tax havens.

They even dodged bans for splashing millions breaking the Fifa Fair Play (FFP) rules easily. Funnelling these crazy amounts of dirty money into the club has led to an unnatural progression in the stature of the club, unlike the organic growth of other big clubs, and this is exactly why English football is heavily criticised.

"The UAE's enormous investment in Manchester City is one of football's most brazen attempts to 'sports-wash' a country's deeply tarnished image through the glamour of the game," said Amnesty International's Gulf researcher Devin Kenney.

And don't forget the former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who bought the club for £81.6m in the summer of 2007. Thaksin had presided over "very serious human rights violations" according to Amnesty.

Any moral concerns about his history of human rights violations, brutal drugs war in Thailand and alleged corruption were swiftly forgotten as he started splashing his dirty money; but with Thaksin's assets frozen, he was actually financially crippled and in the end departed almost as soon as he had arrived.

In August 2021, Al Jazeera in their 'The Men Who Sell Football' revealed that English football clubs can be bought by criminals to launder the proceeds of their crimes. It showed a middle-man admitting to the fact that criminals' money and identity are hidden behind offshore trusts before submitting fraudulent due-diligence reports to English football authorities. It also showed 'dirty tricks' being used to obtain new passports for the criminals with new names, to deceive football authorities.
