Roll call for 9 minute protest

[Eric Hitchmough]

For this to work there needs to be reps telling people in every stand what is going on, maybe hand out leaflets detailing what action is being taken and why or I expect a large majority will turn up at the game with no idea this is happening, some of whom would happily have joined in .

That is a good point tbf. We do have an ageing fanbase, and some don’t have social media. They won’t have a clue about this until they rock up tomorrow night.

Oh shit,everyone knows I have a pair now. How do I edit..

I was watching the ManCunian Way on youtube.
The 1894 guy said something about digital ID coming in.

For my information - what is this?
Thanks in advance.

Don't think it's true, most older people are on some social media. In fact quite a few people I know that aren't are younger people that have come off it,because they've had enough of it.

Not sure I can be arsed with the potential scrum after 9 minutes if the stewards insist on then checking everyones tickets to get to your seats….

I go with 3 others who had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the protest, they don't frequent here or read the mail ect., incidently they all want to get involved but current method of communication hasn't reached them.

Presumably something like this?

We should go a step further and have pickets on every entrance, beating any scabs who try and enter before the 9th minute.

I'd be happier with a 2 or 3 minute protest as that would get the message over equally clearly.

Oh plenty won't know because most that go don't follow City or football related social media,and I know more that don't come onto Bluemoon than do, my son stopped ages ago,other than BBC or Sky and the back pages of paper.Just saying the older generations aren't on social media isn't really a thing anymore.
Others don't agree with me but in my opinion the Viagogo thing has just confused the issue.

There’s nothing stopping you going in after three minutes.

How about you both stop being pedantic and just explain to your fellow blues who don't have time to be on social media all the time, what the protest is about exactly. There is no benefit whatsoever of you digging out city fans just because they don't know what the protest is about

Who was digging anyone out? well you are but forget that. I was just having a chat about why many City fans won't know much about it. If that's okay with you.

Thanks - possibly a problem if you have a late spare.
A solution to what, I womder.

Seriously, what are you going on about? Sure, some fans won't know what it's about for the reasons mentioned but it's been explained on here enough times. Anyone outside of this forum who isn't up to speed - how do you expect me or others to get word to them (beyond talking to fans at the game tomorrow of course) if we don't even know who those people are and they don't use social media?

I bet you've got your "told you so" script ready to post on Thursday morning.

Let me ask you this.

If there are thousands of empty seats at kick off that suddenly become occupied on 9 minutes, will you be proud that Blues have come together and sent a strong message to the Club? Or will you be gutted?

As I said a lot will come in late due to late arrival after work etc, I just don't see it working, is an opinion. Why wouldn't I want it to work, I just don't think it will.

April fools post surely.

Probably won’t even know. Couple hundred people late in their seats and 38 pages on Bluemoon is hardly going to be top of the agenda when he gets back from the White House.

The talk of it has already had a bigger impact than the actual protest will itself.
It made the back page of The Mail at the weekend and has been discussed on national radio. Our boardroom will certainly know about it.

They knew about last year’s banner, as it was their instruction from the posh seats that made it to the stewards in less than three minutes. That banner and this year’s 9-minute idea is just the start, there’ll be years of protests going forward, and if the club aren’t careful years of more negativity in the media.

They could nip this in the bid by simply engaging with fan representative groups properly. Organise with City Matters a proper set of meetings about what the core fans of this club want and how we’re feeling about everything around ticketing.
