City Matters thread

[Tim of the Oak]

So Barnsley, to City, to Chelsea.... more confused than Mark Goldbridge

Bethany England was from Barnsley and playing centre forward for Chelsea around the time of Fran’s apparent conversion. It might be totally unrelated of course .

Never heard of her

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Never heard of her

Maybe because she didn’t get a kick in the Euros. She played plenty of times for England before then.

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 !

Not suggesting it was you mate, just tagged my comment onto yours!

All I'm saying is that I'd be surprised if the agenda extended beyond the cost of programmes or the thickness of the padding in the posh seats.

It's lip-service. No more, no less.

**Note to self... try not to read between the lines Lavinda. There be monsters.

To be honest apart from Lucy Bronze I don't think I could name one other woman player. No interest.

 

[M18CTID]

That's completely ridiculous. Some of you need to give your heads a wobble.

Unreal that people would think highly confidential club-sensitive information would be divulged in a meeting between the club and City Matters!

I really, truly think that all the seats in CBL1 Aisle 125 row A should have padded seats! If they can’t afford them for all then just one experimental seat should have it!!! ;-) ;-)

Steph Houghton?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Steph Houghton?

Never watched a game. I only know of Lucy Bronze by name. Couldn't pick her out in an identify parade.
I'm not saying women's football is crap, it's just not for me

 

[Eccles Blue]

News from the meeting: Kevin Parker's been outed as a rag.

Only the women’s team though! I heard he supported LiVARpool men!

Strangely enough seeing as I played it myself when it was frowned on, in the 40s and 50s, it’s not really for me either apart from the odd match

I suppose if I was a psychiatrist I would argue it’s jealousy!! :-) I prefer to think envy.

However I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Steph Houghton who has overcome a lot injury wise plus with her husband being ill. She’s a fighter and a grafter.

No one has said they think that.

His real name was Harold.

Nobody like a smart arse…

Maybe some sort of metric needs to be introduced to this process. Something that validates the merits of someone’s ‘Top Blue’ credentials. Someone whose City knowledge is both comprehensive and impressive. A Massive Blue.

Modesty prevents me from nominating the most suitable candidate…

 

[MCFC Wirral]

I’m yet to watch a women’s game live but it’s surely got to be City?

Trolls have attacked me en masse online before (dippers, rags, england) and it’s horrible. I’ve had to go private a few times and make numerous blocks. They’ve distributed my photos and attacked friends too. I hope this girl has a thick skin.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The minutes aren’t confidential.

It’s just that nobody at City can be arsed doing it.

But sending us an email and producing a letter asking us to behave for the sake of the Scousers get’s done straightaway, not 9 months later and counting,

Sums up the club’s attitude to the fans perfectly.

Harlem Globetrotters on the pitch. Sunday League off it.

There’s relief on Canal Street with your conclusion!

 

[threadkiller]

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.

Never underestimate the appeal of the pink pound!

Why can't we criticise her? She's a blagger...end of.

She was apparently upset at the disgusting attacks on her launched by the CSBs, which entirely consisted of them stating they were disappointed to find out she was a Chelsea fan and asking her to resign. I think she needs to man up a little, she's sounding like a scouser.
