Roll call for 9 minute protest

4 home games left to try and and climb a mountain and get a champions league place. Yet some think it a really good idea to have protests that will obviously reflect in the atmosphere at all remaining home games where this stunt is pulled.

Why not do the demos before and after the game where the support for the team is not affected.

And anybody repeating Pep’s comments seem to miss out the bit where he says he needs our support - I’m sure he’s buzzing that the support will come from the concourse for 10 minutes then another 10 minutes for everybody trying to get to their seats.

Genius.

no problems with you having your views on this. When you refer to the 'media' which media are you referring to? For what its worth, I only seem to see negative stuff in the media - not positive things about the club or its fans

your comment

"Your last point you say "and enjoy games with fellow fans".... you'd have a job doing that when we've ALL been priced out!!"

Well I happen to think that this is totally over the top and just more depressing negativity about OUR club. All I see on the TV is how great Arsenal; Liverpool; and even Amorin's rags are
When it comes to City, all they talk about is our problems.

I'm sick of reading it all and now the criticism of the club is all over BlueMoon

I like to see how our club has grown so much that 'tourist' fans want to come to the games - and to be honest - they seem to enjoy it more than many

I still sit with the 10 or so fans I sat with in the Kippax and we enjoy the match

I don't enjoy the way folk on here expect all long term fans to turn on the club. That's how I feel about it anyway

I'm with you, but don't say it out loud you will up set the gatekeepers.

This is far more important than where we finish in one particular season

Having a stadium full instead of having 3000 empty seats against Leicester is important.

The stadium has been full this season, and the team has had the support, but that doesn't guarantee a win, as we all know.

Agree totally mate. Many on here have forgotten that THEY also have a part to play - and that part is to SUPPORT the team on match days

The club post the minutes on the website.

Personally, and I've told the club this repeatedly, the issues we've seen this season are as a result of the short-term approach to ticketing over the last few years.

The effect of offering no new season tickets is beginning to be felt as people are finding they can't get a season ticket for their kids or grandkids or are having to rely on the inferior "flexi" gold.

Add in the increases in season tickets, the ludicrous match day prices and "all games on sale" (which artifically creates demand at the start of the season turning it into a bunfight) have meant many blues have fell out of the the habit of attending. So when we have these midweek games against one of the less "glamourous" there demand isn't there anymore.

The club need to decide what is important, short term profits or maintaining the clubs long term supporters and supporting the new generation of match going fans.

Spot on Dan and I had exactly this conversation with the club in my time.

In my line of work, strategy and frameworks are all-important, with your shorter-term tactics the method of delivering that strategy. Without the overall strategy, tactical advances will only take you so far. 5% increases every year, and mechanisms to screw £50, £100, £150 out of people is not a strategy.

You can even see that on the playing side, where we didn't plan for the replacement of key players after the treble season. For a club that we've always been told plans everything meticulously, we failed spectacularly.

Soriano supposedly has an MBA. Was he asleep during the sessions on strategy and planning for the future?

Each to their own but to me a Manchester club that the next generations of young Mancunian people can go and watch is more important than qualifying for the champs league for about the 15th year in a row.

Not that i think the protest will impact it anyway but for arguments sake if it did.

Protests are to be noticed, outside of the ground gets lesser coverage. Inside is visual during a broadcast game and to our senior men inside the stadium understanding what is happening. If for 9 minutes against Leicester at home the players need us otherwise they will struggle then a CL place isn't for us. The team has had our support all season, in what has been one of the worst for a long time. We clearly don't make too much difference this season.

The relationship between the club and its fans is a symbiotic one. That means both provide something to each other, hopefully to mutual benefit. The problem is that the relationship has all been one way the last few years. We've given, but the club (administratively at least) has just taken, without really giving anything substantive back.

United fans protesting against the Glazers and Scruffy Jim have been continually mentioned in the media this season.
Amorim and the United team have been absolutely slaughtered this season, game after game, week after week.
Arteta and Arsenal have been ridiculed for bottling another PL title in the media.
The huge protest against Levy by Spurs fans was all over the media.
Ange Postecoglou facing the sack stories are all over the media.
Go on X/Twitter and Liverpool fans are constantly complaining about the lack of investment in the team by Henry and FSG.
Everton fans demonstrating inside and outside Goodison Park against the previous owner was all over the media.
Etc.
You must be living in a cave this season?

I don't go on Liverpools fans social media - I come on BlueMoon and see constant moaning and criticism

The general negativity on TV is highlighted in the joyful way they report our difficult season: the constant sniping about Phil; Jack etc and now the only story is Haaland being out for 7 weeks

Your only way of dealing with fans with different views is to be sarcastic. I don't live in a cave mate - but i don't keep going on other fan's social media sites to see if they are hammering their club. Regrettably, I come on to Blue Moon every day only to find our fans hammering our club.

Well I'm not part of it - I want to support the players and enjoy the matches .

Don't we all, what happens when we can't afford to go and support our players and enjoy the matches?

So everyone keeps saying but I don't think our club is as bad as other top teams in terms of ticket availability and prices - We expect top players; a great stadium with Maine road prices

So you're preaching that match going fans back the team to get back into the Champions League next season at the cost of being able to afford to go themselves next season?

Genius.

I want us back into the CL and winning but I also want to be able to afford going for the next 20-30 years and so on.

I tell you what, if winning tomorrow mattered so much to the club, Pep etc... then why are the tickets stupidly overpriced again. Why is it £53 to sit in the Colin Bell stand, why are there 3500 unsold tickets for a must win game?

Of course the team and Pep need our support but the fans also need the support of the club with sensible ticketing policies. This is a 2 way relationship and it's not the fans letting the club down right now.

It's got the stage where I am sick of reading negativity about the club in the media and now all over our fans forum.
The only reaction I have had from the likes of you is that I don't understand. You don't entertain any thoughts that disagree with your thoughts on the matter.

You are right to say what you want but don't mock those who don't agree with you. It doesn't make you any cleverer than me
