Is , get the kids and the dads don't matter.

Extend the family stand if we want to match Norwich and Derby.

We can be a genuine big club

Why extend the Family Stand when hardly any of them turn up?

sorry to say this but they got to stop the free season tickets these are the seats that are not being used there are no walk up tickets left each game becouse of this non season ticket holders who are families have no chance of going in the family stand possible solution would be charge full price on these free tickets and give them a retrospective money back at the end of the season based o :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: n how many games the seat was used

There is a point here. I have struggled to get ot all the games this season. I am surprised there is no system in place to sell my seat when I cant make the game.

There's a very good reason for having no resale of seats in place ATM, as the club have to sell all the available seats firstly!

How many games have we sold out this season?

This is a difficult one.

City have been brilliant this season with the family stand situation. My daughter and I have been to every game bar the first when I couldn't get tickets online. I phone city who said they had family overspill stands, so I spent most of the season in the lower grandstand next to the family, this was great. Recently we have been in the Canton and the next two games we are in 111 on the Ninian. My only issue is since the move to the Canton my 10 year old daughter is hearing language I wish her not to hear. I am not moaning about the other fans in the canton, I am probably as bad when with my mates, but the family stand needs to be big enough to accommodate the numbers.

Thats a historic problem. I know of people who want STs for next year who can't get them in the Family Section because its sold out.

The club should make a new family Section in one of the corners, but NOT sell the free tickets for there. Once the 5 year freeze is over I'd expect things to change.

Bad tactics that. If my seat was available I'm confident it would be sold. In fact I know it would becuase my seat has been used when I have not been there.....dont tell anyone that though.

Tim, I can go to all away games in midweek, but I only go to away games on Saturday if my daughter Annaise wants to go as I only have her on weekends. Hence she is excited about Bristol C away that its now not a bubble. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Well perhaps if fans didn't pass their season tickets to other fans when they're unable to get to certain matches themselves, we'd sell out more games, the club would receive more revenue and the club could justify having a resale scheme in place! :idea:
