Guardiola responds to Man City fan protests

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed sympathy for fans who were charged more than usual for their Premier League tickets to beat Aston Villa 2-1 on Wednesday. And he wants all parties involved to reach a compromise.

A group of ‘Citizens’ fans gathered outside the Etihad Stadium to show their displeasure with the club selling single-match tickets to adults for as low as £71 from the usual £49. 

That left many seats แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ in the stadium empty as no fans were in attendance to protest the team. Forcing Guardiola to act as a mediator between all parties. 

“I’m on the side of the little guy because we’re both Man City fans,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

“Even though I didn’t pay for the ticket, I understand their feelings.” 

“Whenever I go to a movie or a concert, I pay for the ticket because I want to see something I like.”

“So we want them to be together here and we want the fans to be full at all times.”  

Man City’s fan base is a working class and therefore cannot afford the expensive tickets for midweek games, as seen in many Champions League games where even when the opposition is a big league team, there are still empty seats in the stadium.
