There was plenty of availability in south 3 / 315 which allowed us to trial trying to link up the singers from the back of south 3 to the singers lower down. For this champions league game there were a lot of families and a lot sat down. There were pockets stood up at the back and especially...

There were definitely some Dortmund fans in SS3. We had word of that plus I saw myself Two were escorted out through S door at 7.15 because they got up and applauded the keeper during the warm up from the City end. Talking to all the stewards they had been told specifically to remove any away...

Morning all - reps from 1894 Citymatters and Solid Citizens all were on City YouTube channel on 4th Nov. 3 of the panelists were in the room when club were releasing their plans (which subsequently have been changed ie the forced evictions were never part of a discussion) The others are myself...

Yes I know you come in peace mate ! You say yourself on the post whatever they have done is a tick box exercise, it’s only been token gestures. A full consultation is easy to they have everybody’s email addresses tens of thousands of people to survey. Even as of this morning one bloke in 037...

Could be away on holiday , family emergencies, didn’t change bank card. Could be many changes of circumstances. Some people on weekly pay and have to juggle paying bills and perhaps didn’t have money at that window

The club can control everything though and do everything right if they wanted to But they choose not to No full consultation process with north standers Plans for a new section wouldn’t have been drawn up yesterday they would have been planned months ago and dropped this week just for damage...

But if they forget to buy the ticket in time they can’t claim ownership of the ticket it goes to someone else. It’s not their ticket to start with whereas ownership of the ticket is always the case with an actual season ticket.

It was Leigh Day that wrote to the club and asked the club to respond. It’s not tactics we would have done ourselves however it certainly got the restrictions talked about on national media. Bad PR is the club’s Achilles heel. They bring it on themselves though.

Some members have got on at times but they weren’t really there to represent 1894. If the club were ever serious about an atmosphere rep that’s a different discussion. The previous head of Citymatters made a load of recommendations as to how to improve and bring transparency to the selection...

Just to clarify there is no legal challenge to City. TUB asked a solicitor if City’s restrictions were lawful. Leigh Day said they didn’t think they were and there would be a case against club if someone raised one. That’s different to one being raised.

We said not onboard with current plans But that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t talk again if plans changed They know what they want though

Takes two to tango though They want to deal with Citymatters that’s their elected group

Of course not I have been in 7 different Osc branches in my time and most of our leaders are in a branch Most people have dual membership We’ve given talks at Osc branches and had donations from them at times You wouldn’t expect someone to be on the committee of 1894 and the committee of the...

No one is downplaying the owners investment or whatever Fans though have a right to question a club’s business plan for the next 5 years, we got that off FSA - the guidance is that clubs can give that information to fan advisory boards for example as long as it is NDA’d Everyone would want to...

We shouldn’t be at this stage of the process and still guessing. They could have laid everything out in total detail prices people moving etc in one go. But it’s drip feed to try and do damage limitation for criticism
