@venkman - Wigan, Chelsea, Aston Villa, 2x play-offs. All games which could have independently set ticket prices, all games which could have reasonably expected to sell out (or did), from memory prices were kept flat

I looked at this yesterday. (thanks to people selling ticket stubs on Ebay) Chelsea in 2013 was £25, which was the same price for league tickets.

Based upon league rules for FA cup ties which states that 15% of the entire capacity must be given over to away fans would suggest that the current capaity for the County Ground is 15,087 as we have given City an allocation of 2,263.

at least 15%

it's probably 2263 is the capacity of the bank, which can't be split

Would of had a season ticket but cannot remember paying that much.  Have old tickets led all over the place, will have a look, would be interesting to see if the club did do any deals.

The Bank capacity is 2,263 so that could mean that there is no need for segregation in the Arkells for the 1,200 overflow which could be given to Town fans.

Not that I expect Man City will sell more than the original allocation for a game that will probably be pretty much a youth team/reserve fixture for their fans, on a Friday night, City don't take the early rounds of the FA cup seriously at all.

Last season vs Port Vale in the 3rd round they put out almost an entire reserve side bar 2 or 3 1st teamers and still beat them 4-0, I fully expect this to be the case again.

Need a better travel agent

It's a long flight, Economy is for those who can't afford 30 quid tickets for the game.

I think it’s shameful housing all City fans on the open Bank. Fucking tinpot. They should have the 1000 odd in the Arkells so we can at least pretend we’re not stuck in the 80s.

Given a fair number of the City fans are from Moss Side and Hulme, they'll see the Portloo's and weeds an upgrade.  For any Man City fans reading, you'll stuff us, let us have something..
