City Matters thread

This is why we end up with fucking marching bands and cringefest 'entertainment' at the Etihad. Because we have complete weirdos acting on behalf of actual fans (who understand football culture).

As a rule of thumb, City, if you're reading this. A good starting point for a FAN REPRESENTATIVE is that they support City (wholly, not mainly) and that they go and watch the first team week in and week out - like actual fans. that isn't too much to ask right?

Nothing will ever beat the QPR game for Entertainment in 98, here we was with one foot in the third division and about 5mins before the team came out and provided us with comedy, we had what can only be called a pub singer giving us his worst rendition of bluemoon and trying to get the crowd involved by continuosly breaking off from song and saying come on everyone.
The fact we was all depressed as fuck seemed to pass him by and Jamie Pollock was about to do his one man band show. Yep, was a great day but oddly i look back at it with fondness somehow.
Whoever was in charge of pre match entertainment must have literally been having a laugh.

It is simple if you support City you support City, the club and all that goes with it, you don't choose one team and opt for another club for your youth/womens etc team.

be a chelsea fan, be a rag, be a geordie or makem or anyone else, but you go all in or don't bother, certainly don't be cheeky enough to ask to represent the fans.

I have no issue her wanted to follow multiple teams, that is her or anyone elses choice but don't claim to truly support either club

I'm very offended. Is there a representative for the minority of us that support two teams?

I'm just trying too look at it from someone who loves women's football, ( Her) She's a blue and supports the men's but also had chosen too support the Chelsea Women when we never had a Women's team. It's a weird One don't get me wrong but I'm not sure it's the crime folk are making out. It seems the main sticking point is she should of stopped following the Chelsea women when we formed a team.

As stated earlier. We had a women's team years before Chelsea. Further our club helped start it. Chelsea FC did NOT recognise Chelsea Ladies for some years.
If she has stated the reason she supported Chelsea is because we did not have a team she is a ............... feel free to fill in any word you want.

(As long as its not the word mistaken)

As I understand it that's being enforced by the council. City have obviously made representations but it's a council decision. I promise you we are working with the club to find solution. Mark Todd the disabled fans rep has done absolutely loads of work on this, completely unprompted and pretty much independently. If anyone wants a good example of how City Matter can be effective Mark is it.

The decision on the consultation is apparently made by one of the council directors and a cabinet member, no democratic committee discussion.

I'm not sure it's lawful to include industrial areas in a residential parking zone - but including a grot spot like Upper Helena Street in a "residential zone" is crazy. It's an environmental hazard zone. (Use Google maps...)

May I also add that publishing the minutes is not confidential surely? I know I keep going on about it but it helps the fans to know that the whole committee care about their ‘constituents’ not just one or two.
I understand your last post in reply to Prophet of Doom @Prestwich_Blue and your frustration with some posters (probably me as well) continually going on about CM and the club not keeping in touch with the fans but I think you’d be the same on this side of the fence. :-)
A couple of years ago I sent an email to all the reps who represented my dynamic, old, female, SC holder, OSC Member etc and only two responded. Guess who they were? You and KP. That’s not me brown nosing just saying. Since then there have been changes I know.
I had very seriously considered (because people asked me to) putting my name forward last time but it was just when everything health wise went haywire! I throw that in in case anyone says why didn’t you do something and stop moaning. :-) :-)

Sorry for the essay. Just needed to say it. *wry grin*

It's a source of great frustration, shared with your good self, that the club seem to find it such a problem to publish even bare-bones minutes. Although in many ways those meetings with the club are the least part of what City Matters does, it completely undermines the rest of the good work of the group, via smaller working groups and individual interactions.

A number of people have posted that City Matters are told things in confidence by the club.
Whilst it's not in the same category as dipper employees having computer passwords, I would have thought a Chelsea fan sat at the meetings was a tad stupid.

thought this myself, imagine how much stuff was passed over

So are you putting your name forward next time the elections come up? If not, that's how the weirdos get in!

Will you be able to share any new information about the North stand expansion update or will that also be in confidence?

I have 2 questions.

Can you ask the club if the expanded North stand is going to be named the Centurion stand or not? We're led to believe it will be.

And if it is, why weren't the fans consulted about the naming of the expanded North stand?

Thanks.

PS. Thanks for coming on and answering questions.

Daft name if true. Marginally better than Standy McStandface.
