“City Matters” fan committee

Would be nice to vote however, both my mobile & Chromebook seem incapable of linking with our wonderful site and continue to jump around the page when I'm trying to vote.

I will try again to vote for #TEAMBM later but the club/infrastructure don't make it easy.

It is but all I know is that I had to say what my supporter number was as part of the application process to get on the shortlist and whether I was a Seasoncard holder (although they should have known that from the Supporter Number).

This whole process with people in more than one category even if they didn't apply for that category, as Adam Purdue said earlier about his application, doesn't reflect well on the club if what has been alleged is the case.

This is open for voting finally. Here's the link: https://www.mancity.com/fans-and-community/club/city-matters

I'm standing in the Seasoncard category and for those who don't know me, I'm Colin Savage (plus you get to see what I look like in real life). You know how vocal I am in criticising things that I believe aren't right and you have my promise that I'll stand up for the fans of this club, particularly the match-going ones.

What are the issues that affect match going fans?

And where do you stand on them?

  • There’s ticket prices for one, both season and one-off. They don’t need to be as high as they are. I’ve consistently had a go at the club on here & in KOTK over this. You’ll pay £10 less to watch Newcastle at Arsenal than you will do at City on Saturday plus it would cost a family of 4 £150 to watch the game. That’s ridiculous.
  • We need to get younger fans more involved instead of pricing them out.
  • Away tickets. More & more seem to be going to hospitality customers & (for the biggest games) tourists. I’d like to see some transparency from the club and a fairer way of allocating them.
  • Safe standing is obviously another. I want to see it introduced.
  • The general criminalisation of match-going fans is another of my bug-bears. We can’t be trusted to drink at our seats along with other things that are perfectly ok at a concert or rugby game. I went to an FSF roadshow ‘Watching football is not a crime’ and heard some real horror stories.
  • The standard of catering at most grounds. It’s piss-poor yet we’re paying premium prices.We should take it off the third party and bring it in-house or, if that’s really not practical, find a way of improving the quality. I went to a baseball game in the States a couple of months ago and it was another level completely.
  • At City particularly people complain they can’t get 2 seats together yet see whole rows of empty seats at games. I want to know why & what we can do about it.
  • People who live too far away are being charged for season tickets they can’t fully use & Ticket Exchange only allows you 6 sales, plus I believe the club won’t list tickets in areas where they have unsold seats until they’ve sold those seats. We need to find a way to solve that.
  • Security and getting into the stadium is another one. By making us queue outside for longer we’re less safe in my opinion and there’s loads of anecdotal evidence that the measures are ineffective and probably designed more to stop you taking food & drink in.
