I’ve just listened to it.

Well done, Durham, for fighting our corner.

Admittedly, knowing that the station's raison d'être is controversies and WUMmery, it might all be completely false, and another round of "good cop, bad cop", but it’s no secret that Adrian has a soft spot for City, from his time at university in Manchester.

Whatever the case, it’s a nice change to hear someone sticking up for us on that poor excuse for a radio station.

He has been very consistent in supporting us regarding the FFP bollocks.

 

[levets]

I think his lad is a blue he’s probably shown him the shite we get put out way constantly

Yes he’s said many times on air that his lad supports City

 

[berryblue]

Completely agree about Redknapp - a cheating, slimy rat who would sell his own Grandmother.
Cardiff City were robbed, on and off the pitch in that FA Cup Final...

His Swiss Bank account was very Rosie I believe.

A scouser mentioning crowds , I remember 12000 at Anfield when they were kings of Europe …

 

[levets]

There was an article in the Echo about 2,000 being the average number of people with tickets failing to attend Liverpool games. I would imagine every club has a similar problem and empty seats would be much more noticeable at the Etihad because there is far more legroom. Anyone who has ever been cramped in between two people who aren't suffering from a serious wasting disease will know what it's like at Anfield.

Liverpool's plans to fill the 2,000 empty seats at Anfield

Reds consider new schemes - including season ticket amnesty

100% agree

How do you know it's affecting our recruitment of young fans.?
Wasn't aware we had a recruitment policy...

Less at Klanfield as they have fewer S/T's than us.
It's S/ T holders that miss games as not all can commit to every one.

Tourists and long distance fans who visit a couple of times a year aren't missing matches, it's a full day out.

Rags and Dippers are full of these types, fuck em.

I understand that he supplied a couple to Stephen Ireland

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I was speaking to Adrian last night, and today as he contacted me about ordering a copy of my latest book for his lad, who is a blue. He’s nothing but complementary about us as seen in this message.

For the record I sent him a book free of charge after that performance on TS.

Nice of him to get a shout in for @oakiecokie

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Adrian is one of the good guys.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Don’t agree with AD on Arsenal though, I can see them bottling it again this season, City or the Dippers will win the title, or better still City are going to win 4 in a row ..!!

 

[Tbilisi]

Remember him giving it to those JCL Palace Ultras (wankers) when they did that crap banner in 2014.

Good guy.

Of course we have a “recruitment policy”. We would be idiots not to.

Really.... so how does it work then?
I do believe we have the fastest growing fan base worldwide, is that down to recruitment policy.?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I don't get all this suckholing of Durham. He's a ****, albeit a lesser one than most in the media.

 

[Cobwebcat]

it's affecting our recruitment of young fans. We are the cheating club who can't fill their stadium and don't make any noise. That's it now. It's not an attractive sell for daft young kids.

Luckily we win everything and are likeable, which helps, but we need to be setting a narrative, even a siege narrative, in the way that Durham portrays.

I’m going to disagree.

I’ve never seen so many youngsters with City shirts on particularly with Haaland on the back.

I heard a lad call a little girl wearing a City top a cheat a while ago. She said yeah well your team is just crap and the lad had no comeback as the rest of her mates laughed at him.

Kids don’t care about court cases. Winners are always unpopular with rival fans in the UK. United were the team with no Mancunians…so what? Kids choose winners when they pick their team round about the age of 7. It’s ages since I’ve seen a rag shirt on a kid and they used to be everywhere.

Thats just in the UK. As you know the UK is a tiny part of the global market. As a recent example @Ric posted how City are the most watched team in the USA.

Our fan base is increasing faster than just about any other club in the World.

Don't believe the lies. It’s jealousy and it isn’t working.

It's called popularity and admiration for how you play and what you achieve - as in everything.
Imagine what ours would be if we were given a fair and respectful coverage - instead of all the constant caveats and undermining.

I know what it is, I was asking is it a recruitment policy.

I would say being successful was a policy of sorts.
