City Matters thread

That's completely ridiculous. Some of you need to give your heads a wobble.
Not really. You yourself stated you had been told stuff but asked not to share with us. I fully understand that and I fully accept it but to have a representative who supports another team...... is the women's team never discussed ?
I just find it shall we say, unusual.
 
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.

I have serious doubt about any suggestion that the club divulge genuinely confidential information at CM 'fan' meetings.

There's no such thing as 'confidential' when a room full of people are involved. If it was information of genuine / great importance, someone would be telling the world and his wife about it.

The club pays lip-service to supporters / supporter groups. The very thought that they'd even inadvertently reveal anything 'confidential' or potentially harmful to the club if revealed, is risible.

Feeding scraps to keep the plebs happy. It's the 21st century, not the 1950s.

It wasn't me who said they were asked not to disclose certain information, it was the CM reps. No one is saying they have been told we're signing Bellingham for 200 mill. but shhhhh say nowt.
However, I assume City Women were discussed and that could well be something they dont want known. A Blue cannot know but a Chelsea fan can !

We don't discuss football matters at all (except maybe commenting about a recent game). She supports Chelsea's Women's Team; she's hardly the female Kim Philby.

You just know one of the committee is a scouser
 
I don’t know all the names of the reps, but I’d have thought everyone knew we had aLGBT rep.
I honestly didn’t. I just thought all the reps would be to do with the football side of the makeup of our support, have reps that represent the different groups in categories who can buy tickets and not be split down any social lines like Asian, black or LGB+. I just imagined the fans would just fall into the Season ticket holders, Matchday/Cityzens members, Supporters Club members, families, OAPs rep and disabled groups.

I don’t see any difference between me as a season ticket holder, a gay season ticket holder, an Asian season ticket holder or a straight mixed-race female season ticket holder. If we are all adults but younger than 66 I just imagined we’d all be the same; just season ticket holders who are City fans who all have the same interest in the club.

Not that I’m saying there shouldn’t be an LGB+ rep, I just never imagined there’d be a need for one.
 
I wonder if she would have been a citys women team supporter if they were doing as well as the mens? Or does she only go for winning teams?

I tend to agree. I can also see there are big commercial opportunities from the Club tapping into minority interests and expanding our fan base. There are already a lot of Asian Blues on the train back over the Pennines after a midweek Champs League game. I am contrasting that, in my mind, with the abysmal efforts of Yorkshire County Cricket Club to increase its supporter base amongst minorities (I’m talking marketing not the racism scandal).
