A s**t away end full of tourists

[mexico1970]

Irony would be if all City fans turned up in England tops or something unrelated to the club on Wednesday, the club would fucking hate it for the optics and would probably send our message mainstream.

Probably a bit too disrespectful to the team and Pep but extreme measures may be needed in the not so distant future.

They'd probably just tack on cultural appropriation warnings on top of every other social crime in their half time DON'T BE A **** message.

Probably sold a package for yesterday, If Pep wont come to you then you come see Pep.

Becoming? We're already there mate.

Correct. I used to walk past load of giddy cunts at the swamp pre-match. Having their photos taken and wearing half 'n' half scarves. First visit at the age of fifty etc. Now I see the same shit walking round the Etihad pre-match.

 

[bernard o'silver]

Yeah fuck the hard work guys have put in over the years, we get 6000 away at Spurs and sent 3k back, why don't people use these games to get to away games? Always complain they cant get to Anfield/Emirates/Old Trafford, were in cup draw at 7pm wonder if we got WBA away and got whole Birmingham RD end (5k) if they'd all be crying for tickets or would WBA away be beneath them.

Smethwick end surely??

Smethwick end surely??

Yeah may have got my ends mixed up, went in 2015 and that little ramp up to away end slippy as fuck

 

[johnnytapia]

I’ll happily compare my support with yours over the last 50 years you complete dick.

You won’t be walking into the winner’s enclosure.

It was slippy as fuck on my first visit there. FA Cup replay 1977; won 1-0.

just to add, where are these tourists for the Forest game, it looks like we have literally 1000's available, or do the club want the locals to snap up the bargain priced tickets starting at 51 quid for adults and 23 quid for under 18's. Time they gave their collective heads a shake and got in the real world, give something back you greedy twats 712 million turnover, 10% of which is gate receipts and your own fans are priced out, it's actually beyond stupid.

Is it 10% gate receipts or 10% match day income?

You got a like of the loser.

Been a few times, that 4 0 defeat under Keegan was a turning point.

 

[TheGhost]

Totally understand that point of view and begs the question who thought it was a good idea to stop issuing points for away games a few years ago

It was the same person who was saying earlier in the thread that our away support has always been shit and we used to regularly take half allocations at most away grounds.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

That is a piss take. I can't even dream about getting a ticket for Scouse away despite being chased around Stanley Park by mickies with Stanley's more times than I can remember. Absolute disgrace. But sadly no longer surprises me.

That’s just bizarre.

Glad the dipper got sparked out though.

Why ? @Big Joe Corrigan

I’ve experienced enough mither over their BM, but you’re right it could have been an innocent bloke. I just have no time for their fans and their feral behaviour. But I’m too old for all this shite, so you’re right to pull me up on it.

 

[Blue Mist]

They do care. But not in public. They will have spoken to UEFA in private and left it at that. But as you say, that comes across as the club not caring. Their public PR with the fans is totally fucked up and misguided. An own goal!

Seriously jrb? The club spoke privately! Oh whoppee fuckin' do.
The club did nothing.
@Alex - City Matters used his own time and effort to compile a report to the club. Fuck all was done.
The club do not care about us, they care about money.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I think something needs to be done. That could be the various groups working together or something new entirely.

We’ve seen so many things happen over the last few years and we’ve had no voice or one group standing up for us (with any influence). That’s people being kicked out of the front row, how tickets are allocated or the price of food for example. One main supporters trust is needed.

City matters doesn’t seem to have any influence at all and it feels like a token gesture to show the club ‘care’.

As a former CM rep, it seemed that the club started off with good intentions but simply didn't understand what fans wanted (which is why we were there). So there was no proper communication and management of changes, like when they shifted everyone to make way for the Tunnel Club but left them to their own devices to arrange alternative seats. In fact they were a bit amateurish in many ways.

Then Roel de Vries arrived and he sounded like someone who knew what he was doing. He told us there was too much silo working and he was going to set up a programme to improve the end-to-end fan experience. And he did, but didn't bother to involve any fans when we were expecting to be fully involved.

Then we'd agree changes with Danny, but they'd get knocked back by either de Vries or Soriano. I lost interest at that point and was quite happy to stand down. It doesn't sound like it's got my better since.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Even when they’re City fans, it’s rare they converse with me, I barely get a single word out of most of them. Even when it’s clear they speak English, they aren’t interested.

I purposely fell over him to hug the lad next door but one to me. He tried to push me off so I shouted in his face ‘WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE FOR?!’. Then when I sat down again, I pointed out the centre point between our seats and told him to move his leg from being miles into my space.

I think I might have worked out why no one speaks to you.

 

[Centurions]

Now if we can get @Centurions on board, we will be unstoppable

Will never happen ;)

I know the club didn’t. We all know the club doesn’t seem to care in public. In private to UEFA the club will have complained about the treatment of the fans. But the club couldn’t be arsed making a public statement criticising UEFA, and supporting the fans.
