From The BBC back in 2003
Manchester City say they will not appeal against the £25,000 fine for cutting Southampton's ticket allocation for the last-ever game at Maine Road on 11 May.
Saints were allocated less than the 3,000 tickets stipulated in Premier League rules as the allocation for away teams where the stadium capacity exceeds 30,000.
City say they feel the 1,300 allocation was acceptable after taking advice from the local safety advisory committee - a group formed from representatives of the council, police and fire service - as well meeting the high demand of their own supporters to watch the historic match.
But Manchester City deputy chairman Bryan Bodek said on the club's official website that although he was disappointed with the verdict, he wanted the matter closed.
"We have accepted the fine imposed. We do not intend to make any appeal against this decision," he said.
In addition to the fine and being ordered to pay the League's costs, City have to make 3,000 tickets available to Southampton at half price for this season's corresponding fixture at the club's new stadium on 17 April. |  |
