City fan suffers broken leg after being attacked at Leeds game

I'm honestly not sure if you've quoted the wrong person here as you've lost me a bit, that said they are issuing 4,000+ FG's next season.

No idea TBH but I do know that if they just opened it up that no single person is going to beat the bots.

To be fair the club don't need bots to do anything when they hire their own ticket touts partners anyway.
 
The fact people just looked on is fucking laughable. State of that. Seeing some poor fucker getting his head caved in and just stand there and watch. Fuck me.

What's the betting the blues have been banned! They need free corporate hospitality for the rest of the season not being gaslighted on social by the club. If a broken leg suffered at a football match is classed as a serious injury then what the fuck is?

The club are please to announce that Rodri has suffered an ACL but it's not as serious as being reported. The same for Oscar Bobb's leg and KDB's hamstring tear is just a mere irritant!

FFS City sort the bloody comms out, I will do it if you have nobody else capable of doing it.

It isn’t the comms that need sorting is the whole policies
 
The disconnect between the club and fans has never been greater. Off the field its a mess comparable to the Swales years. Nobody is listening to the fans and the ticketing situation is as bad as under dear old Bernard Halford. Now i understand our chairman is a busy man but he really needs to stop gallivanting around the world and get back here and stay until this present shit show is sorted out. Otherwise there will be even more empty seats and that big shiny new stand will be a white elephant.

Is there an official body we can coordinate a complaint to regards city not adhering to the safety rules of the stadium by allowing 3rd parties to sell tickets to anyone and circumnavigate the supposed safety restrictions us fans have in place to stop us selling to away fans? This must be illegal on safety grounds?

Another charge but this one will be richly deserved.

Disagree.

It reads very much like it was written by someone very inexperienced at dealing with this type of situation.

Blame the club for putting that person in a position to post something that reflects so badly on the club.

The club claimed viagogo were only selling hospitality tickets but there were tickets for sale in GA areas, but with an offsite meal tagged on. So that was a lie from the club.

They've now seemingly lied about the injuries and potentially that it wasn't a Leeds fan involved. And if the guy was misbehaving then why was he moved from 107 into 93:20 and not ejected? It all screams they suspected he was an opposition fan or, at best, a belligerent neutral.

The North Korean media would be proud of this. The right response would have been to acknowledge the incident and the injuries and say that they'd be suspending all ticket sales via their authorised third-parties until a full investigation had been carried out.
 
Yet again, a clump of seats in 328 available on livefootballtickets - up to 4 together. This area was largely empty on Saturday too.

Or you can try the new 'Neutral Section' if feeling flush

I think it will be a white elephant regardless mate

Yep, it was a really strange response from the club.

A very defensive response. They just seem to be totally reactive and never on the front foot. The message to fans has got to be one of reassurance such as:" We are appalled at what has happened and are taking steps to stop it happening again." Our comms has been a shit show for years.

To be honest, I’m not too well clued up on the ins and outs of it all, but no reason to question what you’ve written.

But we’re at slightly crossed points - you’re saying the club comms are poor because they’re lying - I’m saying they’re poor regardless of whether they’re being truthful, lying or anywhere in between.

That post reads like someone who is trying to do the “right” thing in terms of protecting the club / their employer by quelling the rumours, but is clearly massively inexperienced and got it spectacularly wrong.

I don’t think North Korea would be proud of it actually, their comms are way better.

I can guarantee that at a club the size of Man City, there’s no way an inexperienced person posted that. They’ve simply misread the situation and chosen to protect the club their employer just as you said.
 
With Galatasaray coming up the only way the club can ensure only home fans are in the home areas of the stadium would be to operate a policy that tickets can only be sold by them so they can enforce the criteria of prior match attendance being needed. If they allow the 3rd party sites they partner with to sell tickets with no criteria then it will be bedlam and an unsafe atmosphere. There is 100% a decision to be made here over fan safety v profit , sadly I know which side the club will choose. They will put home fans at risk by allowing their partner ticketing sites to sell tickets to anyone with no criteria so long as they are able to pay the inflated price on the relevant website.
