Fair enough. I don’t really get why you’re so bothered about what everyone else thinks. Surely it’s what city fans think that’s important right now.If it undermines the point we're trying to achieve to give a load of idiots a free hit than I care, yes.
As for the 9 minutes thing. If one of our players scores the goal of the season or there's a significant moment, red card, penalty etc I'd quite like to have been watching it. Personally I don't see the benefit of loads of blues missing out on watching the team. Good luck to those that decide to do it, but I won't be.
It doesn't need to be nine minutes1894 mentioned they sent an email out to members yesterday. Protests have to start somewhere.
Boycotting 9mins of a game to stop your season ticket going up £50-£100 next year or making sure future generations of your family can afford to watch City seems like a decent trade off.
People are never going to agree but you have to start somewhere!
You're saying it's too harsh, others in this thread alone are saying it's not enough, some have said boycott the match, some have said walk out on 60. 9mins is a start.
It's took the threat of fan action now to arrange an emergency meeting on ticketing, 7 weeks after a fan letter that they didn't bother responding too.
Have you seen the state of many of our fans?How about getting in seats 10 minutes before, make some noise and stay 10 minutes after and make some noise. That would make more of an impression.
No-one buy a pint or programme. I am not missing a minute of a game thanks .
What does that even mean? This is bigger than points scoring about United.We laugh at the rags with their protests. I leave that statement here.
Have you seen the state of many of our fans?
Get in 10 minutes before? No chance.
Stay 10 minutes after? Around 30% never hear the full time whistle, unless there's a trophy to be presented in which case all their excuses/reasons suddenly disappear.
And no chance of either as our final five home games could well be evening games.
It doesn't need to be nine minutes
Just don't take your seat for a couple of minutes
The teams will walk out to and kick off in front of a half empty stadium
The 9 minutes represents the 9 online ticket touting companies City are using.It doesn't need to be nine minutes

I’ve missed loads for you, always got your back my fellow blue
This is just feeding the monster, careful what you wish for. Man U fans turned against the club, but every other clubs’ fans will ignore that because we are the Champions of the last decade, so the press will feed on this and push the club’s reputation further into decline. Who knows? They might even listen.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cy8383jv4p4o
It’s starting to hit the major news broadcasters/ newspapers now.

They need to grow too, but an invisible protest that absolutely none of those that matter will even be able to detect is happening is going to achieve nothing.The protests have to start somewhere and at some point.
Nobody is expecting 10,000's of City fans to stay on the concourse. Our support is to passive for that at the moment.
But it's better to do something and to protest, rather than do nothing.
If the Directors don't start listening to the fans, and start treating the fabs properly the protests will grow.
The protests on the concourses will be filmed and uploaded to social media.Exactly. So if a few hundred/thousand turn up nine minutes in, nobody will even notice there has been a protest.
