It literally says ‘Asian 20.9%’ ‘black 12%’. I then did this thing where I added those two figures together and it gave me a larger number after they were reckoned up. That figure is not 43.2%.
They have done fuck all to protect city fans.I’m the first to criticise the club a lot of the time but what have they done wrong in this instance? They sold a ticket in the home end to a city fan who got his phone out and people started punching him. Why is the club at fault?
He's probably never heard of the cool catsCity have never been a racist club or had a racist support. From Maine Road in Moss Side to East Manchester, we have always welcomed fans of every race, colour, and creed to City.
One of Citys first hooligans gangs were the Cool Cats, mostly made up of black working class lads. The Gouvners had loads of black lads.
I’ve never seen or heard a City fan racially abused by other City fans at the Etihad, or targeted because they are Asian.
It a real shame, in fact it’s fucking disgusting, that a certain poster on here is accusing City fans of being racist and deliberately targeting our Asian supporters.
The figure is from a 2021 census. 56.8% white. 43.2% non-white. You can argue whether mixed, or Arab are black or Asian if you want but that seems off the point.This is Bluemoon mate, you’re lucky the figure wasn’t listed as 97%
This argument has been done to deathNo it wouldn't. The problem is tickets from the 3,000 allocation going to those who are not city fans. Whether it's club employees, official touting agencies, or fans selling to unofficial agencies or on the open market is irrelevant. Individual fans sending tickets to agencies won't result in several tickets together as seen at Anfield and Ipswich.
A few years ago there was an article online about touts having thousands of STs at PL grounds. They sell at slightly above face value which could be 30-40% above the cost of the ST seat.
If these touts bought STs when they were readily available then it's possible to have several next to each other at home games. However for away games they just buy under one name and distribute via F&F assuming they have the points.
We need a system where only City fans can apply for away game tickets. Hospitality ST holders would have to nominate the user, who ideally would have a membership number. This would get rid of some of the problems but would address mass touting scams. We don't want to have random ticket checks for away games even though that would help.
He no Marvin GayeWhat the fuck has race got to do with anything anyway, tourists are from anywhere and any colour.
Marvin needs to drop this line he's looking a bit of a ****.

Well you and John don’t seem to know that the Cool Cats forced the National Front out of Maine Road.He's probably never heard of the cool cats
Or the gouvners
You are misinterpreting my comments. I know City's fanbase isn't racist.

It was rife in the Kippax against black players in the 80s and early 90s. And when you looked behind to see who had said it, they never failed to disappoint in their appearance.City have never been a racist club or had a racist support.

He was taking the piss as it was Kool Kats and GuvnorsWell you and John don’t seem to know that the Cool Cats forced the National Front out of Maine Road.
I like to think this obsession with tourists isn’t racially motivated but the longer it goes on the sadder it looks.
What point are you trying to makeThe figure is from a 2021 census. 56.8% white. 43.2% non-white. You can argue whether mixed, or Arab are black or Asian if you want but that seems off the point.
I mentioned the demographics of Manchester in a comment a while ago to show that on a CL night when out of town blues don't go / can't go, the Asian faces may well be locals. It seems likely.
If the guy who got beaten in 115 was a case of mistaken identity then it shows the dangers of making assumptions about who people support.
We should stick with the issues of ticket prices and allocation, and any other points that impact all fans.
OK fair dos. They were many of the same peopleHe was taking the piss as it was Kool Kats and Guvnors
He was a City fan?
The https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Manchester say that the black and asian population in Manchester is 43.2%. Do not make data up to make a point. When I've been to Leeds, I've sat with a Leeds fan. I am a tourist on that occasion because I do not support either side, and I am just going because I can and because I like
Who’s linked the word “tourist” to nationality Marvin ? I’d prefer the word day tripper if I’m honest . Tourist is a euphemism for not being a week in week out regular fan.You are misinterpreting my comments. I know City's fanbase isn't racist. That's why a large number of Asian supporters including me are happy to come to watch City.
What I am arguing is that some people commenting in this thread have linked tourists to nationality. And that that is a dangerous argument. You posted an image of an Asian supporter who had made a City hat as if it was something we should laugh at.
I can tell you without any doubt he was a blue, not a scouser. Doubt me all you like but I know it is true through a contact well within the club.So he pulled his phone out? So fucking what. I hate it aswell but twatting him like that. Narrrr I hope they all get banned.When it happened he was a dipper
Now a few more rumours and he is a blue
No one knows the real truth
I know its a mess
