We have written to uefa asking their delegates to meet our fans who missed out and who have not been re-imbursed for Moscow. We'd also like to know how they can penalise our fans yet turn a blind eye to 300 Moscow fans who got in on 'sponsors' tickets. A farcical organisation. We are told uefa are 'aware' of fans' feeling but are currently being 'stubborn' about it.
Here the statement in full .....
"Tuesday night at The Etihad Stadium we will witness the continued co-operation between
sets of fans from different countries.
On tuesday night both City and Bayern fans will turn their backs on the
uefa anthem and no doubt many will attempt to drown out the anthem with
boos and whistles. We have heard little in the way
of understanding towards supporters from uefa themselves after fans were denied access to the matches in Moscow.
1894 Group supports the club nr 12 led initiative 'respect fans' and we
support the call Bayern fans have made for uefa officials to meet them and us
listen to our point of view.
Football without fans is nothing.
On a separate note we hope the rest of europe will take note of
Manchester City a proud club with a long history and the efforts our club
has made to meet financial fair play.
Only 50 or so City fans missed out in Moscow but the wider Manchester City
support cannot help feel slightly disconnected from uefa and their
competitions at the moment. We are a club penalised for trying to better
ourselves. Other clubs spend fortunes and go into debt yet the punishment
is not equal.
For those reasons also you may well see a repeat of the protest seen at the
Moscow game"
