To any of the reps on here - appreciate details can't be shared yet but can you confirm if the club acknowledged the protest at all? Any comment on it from them??
Hiya mate. You can thank us for your 2025/26 season ticket technically being cheaper than it was last year.What you 'protesting' about now?
I would but I couldn't afford one last year either.Hiya mate. You can thank us for your 2025/26 season ticket technically being cheaper than it was last year.

So why aren't you more on board with the protests that are trying to make sure people like you can afford to go again? And why are you posting about the efforts of CityMatters and associated fan groups with such derisive flippancy?I would but I couldn't afford one last year either.
Because, young bob, I have far more important things in my life to deal with or get angry about or embark on affirmative action for. That ok with you?So why aren't you more on board with the protests that are trying to make sure people like you can afford to go again?

Oh right, you're not going to drop that tone.Because, young bob, I have far more important things in my life to deal with or get angry about or embark on affirmative action for. That ok with you?
You sound like rhe bread knife..)Oh right, you're not going to drop that tone.
Fair enough.
I really thank everyone who took the trouble to do this. I have to admit to having been a scab for the first time in my life, City being such a big part of my life I didn’t want to miss any of the game. I feel bad about this so thought I should confess, and hopefully get forgiveness off the 1894 group (eventually!)Well done everyone who took part in the protest and supported the protest. Strength in numbers.
It's a start. We can get more concessions from the club.
Let's see what the update is from the Club and City Matters.
That's ok, I've asked the ticket office to apply a special 20% scab tax on your ticket prices going forward :)I really thank everyone who took the trouble to do this.

The fucking least I deserve. From now on BBS is Bloody Bastard Scab, not Bring Back Swales!That's ok, I've asked the ticket office to apply a special 20% scab tax on your ticket prices going forward :)
It was short notice and not something City fans have had to do for three decades. Our fanbase isn’t used to being against the boardroom, and has got used to ignoring issues even if they have negative effects on our fanbase. So I can see why others didn’t join in.I really thank everyone who took the trouble to do this.

Not sure how old you are PC? I had a lifetime of demo-ing against Swales then Lee. After their incompetence it’s hard to hate the current owners and senior managers, but I do think Soriano is a ****, and I agree we have lost thousands of good fans due to himIt was short notice and not something City fans have had to do for three decades.

I have personally been calling to do something about our price rises for over ten years, but there was only me, @jrb and a few others saying it back then. Everyone was in the ‘Mansour and Khaldoon love City and they can do no wrong’ hypnosis that winning trophies does to fans.
Meanwhile, we’ve lost thousands of match going fans!
Just because City have become more successful, doesn’t mean at any point our fanbase has become richer.
