but some of the players didnt wave to me at the last match,not going againMentioned this thread to my dad yesterday. He has been going since the late 40s. He couldn't believe it. It was at half time and we were watching the legends present the supporter with the shirt for his 100th. Then the things we have seen this season like joe hart giving his shirt to a young lad who had travelled 450 miles yeserday. The respect shown to the young dad Chris shaw recently who passed away and the way the club embraced his family. There have been a number of other such examples this season. I could add the brilliant videos on the club website. A training ground that is used by the general public and local community. 6000 homes being built by adug in ancoats and new Islington. The great effort made to open the multi million new stand against Chelsea. The cheap ticket prices. The wonderful aguero 93.20 facilities. I could go on and on. I think the club is run absolutely superbly. I honestly do.
And I will say it again- we are still in 4 competitions.
I feel more disconnected when that Corporate bullshit merchant was handing out daft hats and flags and getting footballs booted in the crowd and all that other American cheese he introduced.I agree for the most part mate! I just think there's a bit of disconnect with the fans and club at the moment that has stemmed ever since Gary Cook left and Txixi and Soriano came in. Anyways, onwards and upwards and up the blues!
As with this "issue" it's all personal as this thread has personally shown. For you, it's Cook's US stuff whilst for others its the lack off contact for some it may be something completely. At the end of the day we're ran by a great set of people and I can hardly find a fault with anything; but as with anything there are always areas to improve.I feel more disconnected when that Corporate bullshit merchant was handing out daft hats and flags and getting footballs booted in the crowd and all that other American cheese he introduced.
I went with my Uncle when the new seated Kippax opened and I kept looking at him though the game and he was shaking his head over and over whilst looking around. I said "what's up Unc?" and he replied "this is just shit, I feel like someone has died" and he didn't return to a game for about five seasons and he used to go every week and still doesn't go anymore other than the odd game every few years. He still says that The Kippax was City, City was The Kippax more so than sky blue shirts, Colin Bell, Bert Trautmann and Helen's Bell. and after the Kippax went in 1994 he said City were never the same club.I miss the Kippax..
I think that all our different supporters clubs could have more engagement with the club,so hard to get player visits,
Remember the old supporters club,when the North stand gets its extension why don't the club change the souvenir shop into a new supporters club,and that could be used for all sorts of club events,and re engage with fans on match days or midweek meetings and player visits where all the different supporters clubs can come together,weekend entertainment on sat nights,restraunt for us lower paid non corporate fans.
Mary d's does well on match days, and supporters clubs can go upstairs there,so the club execs,are missing a trick on income there.Supportersclub members and any member of the city social club,would pack it out on match days. So if your a member of a supporters club you get immediate membership of the social club or you join the social club if your not a member of a supporters club.
Cityzens from all over the world can come in and soak up the match day atmosphere,possibilitys are endless!!!!! !
Just my 2 cents but I really would not be bothered about any entertainment put on by the club, if the efforts at City Square are anything to go by.I think that all our different supporters clubs could have more engagement with the club,so hard to get player visits,

It's outdoor.I seam to remember might be wrong wasn't there a bar / meeting room above the shop at one time
also city square is for fans and very good fare the bars are always packed long after highlights have finished
just ignorant people smoking where people are eating spoils it after the match
There was a fans forum LAST NIGHT. No idea how you get invites, mind....
Probably pay £199 (plus VAT).There was a fans forum LAST NIGHT. No idea how you get invites, mind....

BORING
Look...we all miss Maine Road...nobody who attended the place couldn't...despite it being a shed of a ground
but some people start sounding like those old Kings Hall soul boys in Stoke...with their baggies and vests...proper school disco tackle
It's gone now lads...you need to move on...most of us have
The disconnect is widening, that is a fact, and will continue to do so unless conscious efforts are made to reduce it.
Whether a protest happens or not, all this anger these last few days is a start and someone high up at the club must surely be taking some notice of it all.
