Asked about the issue in an interview with City’s in-house media channel, Al Mubarak said: “Yes, I think this is a very important question. This has been a relationship built on trust between the fans and the club. And that trust comes both ways.

“I think this issue on ticketing is no doubt something that has… I’m not OK with the way it played out.

“I think the management team is working very closely with [fan group] City Matters, addressing and understanding the issues.

“What I’m sure about and I hope this message comes out loud and clear, is that relationship of trust between the fans and the club is the foundation of the success and sustainability of this club.”

Are these real quotes because if anything it’s got a lot worse full off bullshit that fella any way. Always give a typical politician answer. Says what people want to hear rather than something even near the truth

I think there’s a simple and clear picture here, which for me is the club execs despite what they said don’t give 2 shits about the fans and our history and only give a fuck about £’s and shareholder and owner returns.

Exactly and it happens at every P.L. Club ,I got a good mate who's been going from North Devon to Chelsea for years and now can't even get a sniff at a ticket because like at City they're not transferable and have to be re-sold through the bloody owners re-selling site . All the rich club owners don't want working class people in their grounds they want ridiculous foreign tourists who spend hundreds of £ in the club shop and the food outlets/bars and cause no bother ,our days are numbered I fear ?
 
It's not only at our place. A rag mate with a long standing season ticket in the United Rd said he was surrounded by Rangers singing their heads off at the Euro Tie last season. If a team with 250 million fans world wide can't guarantee home fans only their is no hope for any club. We really can't say too much ourselves, Blackburn 2000 anyone, my brother finished up in the directors box.
Hope the poor lad makes a speedy recovery.

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.

You do realise that two of those arrested are City fans who jumped in to help out and have now been bailed until February and their season tickets suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. Others tried to spilt up those involved. Not everyone stood and watched
 
I can’t wait for the next match. And the one after. And the one after that. And the league cup game. And the champions’ league There is nothing better than going to the match. Nothing.

I've said it before and will say it again: that fella is full of shit. His sycophants can go weak at the knees over the politician-style drivel he spews forth every year, but he cares about us about as much as Sorriano does.

Is that true? Moved from 107 to 93:20 lounge? Absolute joke if true and somebody should be held responsible. If I'm the injured party I'd be looking into legal action.

Not true. He was in 93:20 originally which is block 109, sitting in a seat where normally a City season ticket holder sits. When he was taken out we all assumed he would be thrown out. Apparently he was then “relocated” into block 112. Then at half time he was allowed in the 93:20 lounge. It was there he confronted the City fan who he thought had fingered him as a Leeds fan.
I saw him filming the Leeds end singing Marching on, and no reaction when City scored.

Maybe the club should consider a 2nd away section for the galatasary game to try and prevent trouble as they did for the poznan game

Didnt we give Poznan the 3rd tier of the Kippax aswel for that reason. UK based Poznan fans

I thought we should do the same for this. Makes sense and stops any issues. Allocate the away end and also do a UK based Gala fans allocation

Yeah, they did get in touch but didn’t demand we move the thread or anything. They just repeated what was said in that statement they put out on socials yesterday (I.e. that it was an ongoing police investigation, they didn’t think it was Leeds fans responsible, injuries weren’t as serious as reported) so I erred on the side of caution. With hindsight, it was probably the wrong call tbh.

It wasn't the wrong call Ric, always best to be cautious on those situations. Easy for those who don't have the responsibility to question it.

Where do we go from here then? Seems the club want to peddle their narrative, but it all comes out in the wash eventually.

A fan has indeed suffered a broken leg, despite the club suggesting otherwise.

You better not give your ticket to a mate for free, as the club want their resellers to sell them at a premium, regardless of who they support.

Dread to think what is deemed a serious injury by the club. Like they give a fuck, anyway.

Quite incredible that they don’t consider this serious.

Youre absolutely right. My parents went to their first UCL game this year against Dortmund as they've started going over the last few years. When the fixtures came out at the start of the season, I flat out said that Napoli and Galatasaray were not happening.

I was at Feyenoord last year and that was an embarrassment. Drunken inbreds being found out all over the home end.

Stewards and the club will just continue to do the bare minimum. Not to mention as a City fan you're running the risk of a multi year or even lifetime ban getting involved.

Restrictions should be in place for location on certain fixtures. If you're registered in Turkey or have a Turkish payment method attached to your account, you should not be able to buy a ticket for Galatasaray as an example. Obviously this only works so well since the club has 9 official resale partners but its a start.

There are thousands of Galatasaray fans who live in England,
