Open Letter on Season Tickets and Pricing | Club announce price freeze on "general admission season tickets & PL match tickets" for next season (p163)

Sounds like Kevin has been taking a leaf out of the clubs books in the art of deceptive secrecy

Kevin Parker and the branch secretaries have to be honest, open, and upfront about the vote in detail. They can't hide behind a single statement saying the OSC doesn't support the boycott and that's it. That leaves the secret voting process open to questions of integrity from the OSC members.

The final vote result aside.

The people running the OSC don't share the actual votes with their members on X, Facebook, or on another social media platform. We don't know what our branch secretaries voted.
All we are told is the OSC didn't vote for the boycott. Where is the transparency and accountability in that?

I’ve tried to look at the thread on X but am struggling for some reason. Does it say the vote was unanimous or doesn’t it say anything along those lines?

As a member of a OSC, I can confim that members were not asked and that our rep did not attend, but confirmed that if they had, they would have voted against the boycott.

True democracy at work, why do i have a feeling that too many are scared to lose their guaranteed tickets and would rather bend over and grease up when the club comes calling.

Maybe it’s time to put City Matters in the bin.

The majority of Blues who go to the OSC Exec meeting can get tickets for virtually any game on their own points so I can’t see these “benefits” being the deal breaker.

As vague as Kevin Parker and the OSC can get.

The OSC-8? Who are the 8?

At a meeting held tonight, @TheOSC8 decided not to support the boycott of @citymattersreps meetings. We look forward to @ManCity confirming the date for the agreed EGM asap

I respect your view Tim and you may well be right that the OSC exec probably have enough points for tickets.

I just find it disappointing that on an important topic such as ST renewals, the various OSCs didn't poll their members to get the level of feeling on this.

Regardless of whatever they may or may not have been told in private about a meeting date, should it not be about standing shoulder to shoulder with other 6 City Matters reps who have took the decision to boycott?

Howard Cohen of the Disabled Supporters Association also ran it by their committee and backed it. I can't believe 100% of the OSC voting tonight was to not back it.

Done we know if nobody backed the boycott or was it a majority vote.

My view is Ciry Mattere is past its sell by date. Cory aren’t meeting the fans reps so I wouldn’t really call they a boycott or strike. Isn’t it hobson’s choice.

I don’t know why people are so hesitant about a protest. I was wearing my Maine Road FC shirt today. How about getting thousands to attend a Maine Road game

Yes that’s a good point.

FWIW, r kid says I don’t understand why people are complaining about season ticket prices. That’s easy to say when I’m paying for his season card lol.
 
Leaving aside tonight's methodology for canvassing opinion, what good reason could anyone who did vote have for not supporting it? Let alone 100%

It's not just a price freeze needed. Parents need a guarantee that once their kid is old enough they can get a SC next to them (relocate if needed)

I'd take a price rise if that generational part is baked in

Like the Maine Road idea a lot.

Unfortunately with City Matters, Fan Advisory Boards (which is what it is, despite the club never referring to them as that) are here to stay due to being mandated by the PL. For years the club has run them atrociously, with a secretive shortlisting process, which suits City. Other FAB's across the League do not operate as opaquely as ours does.

It needs reform, and it needs it ASAP.

I don’t think it is just City Matters that is past its sell by date I think the OSC has been there for a few seasons now.

Are you sure Kevin Parker wasn’t just on holiday? Maybe he’d gone away with the Season Card rep who thinks tickets are too cheap?

Which OSC is going to break ranks and have the balls to call for an EGM and a vote of no confidence in the current administration?

In danger of losing a generation of young local fans all because of greed.
