WBA and an afternoon in the Vine, my favourite away dayHope to fuck it is the Baggies...chicken tikka in The Vine....yes please.
I know what you mean. The company I work for is making shit loads of money, and it’s never been as busy. But the manager is still getting emails from head office to cut pay roll, not to spend money unnecessarily, etc, whilst those at the very top sending the emails are on massive wages and bonuses. Whilst we’re under staffed, and staff are getting dragged from pillar to post to keep the place going in unsafe, stressful and unhappy working conditions.Unfortunately like all people on the corporate ladder they chase the £££. I don’t blame him. There is always someone above you in the corporate world who is setting you those targets.

I know for a fact he was rooting with the rest of us yesterday! :-)I’ve always maintained it’s s not Danny. He’s only doing what he’s told and expected to do by the people above him at City.
I still remember him telling me how he started off in the ticket office at Maine Road and worked his way up at City. He has a lot of time and affection for City fans. Even though he isn’t a City fan, he might as well be one. I’m sure if he had his way, and he was the CEO of City, I’d like to think things would be different for the legacy fans.

Thanks for the insight, Pep.I know what you mean. The company I work for is making shit loads of money, and it’s never been as busy.

It all makes sense now, sack the board!

Do the stupid bastards still park the away fans coaches very close to the home coaches as they did in the 70s?The one outside the away end was a different incident. This was outside the coaches afterwards.
Always been in the car since then.

The away coaches are on Arkles Lane. The home coaches are on Priory Road and the quickest way to get to them is either to cut through Stanley Park or walk down Arkles Lane and turn left so there will always be some footfall of Liverpool fans going past the away coachesDo the stupid bastards still park the away fans coaches very close to the home coaches as they did in the 70s?

The thing is engagement with supporters is completely separate to rinsing supporters for profits.I know what you mean. The company I work for is making shit loads of money, and it’s never been as busy. But the manager is still getting emails from head office to cut pay roll, not to spend money unnecessarily, etc, whilst those at the very top sending the emails are on massive wages and bonuses.

I hate scousers, but compare how Liverpool run their ship. They are worse than City with some of their tactics for squeezing their support for cash, but they have their beat journos wrapped round their fingers to an avoid negative press. After the Paris champs league final they made very public their complaints. They got their MP stooges like Ian Byrne involved. If there is tragedy chanting they make public statements immediately, and they engage with Spirit of Shankly etc.
They have Tony Barrett, a scouser that used to be the LFC beat journo for the Times, running their communications team.
They make the supporters know they have got their back despite ripping them off.
We have radio silence all year round. Our mob said fuck all about Istanbul. They’ve never once said anything to our supporters about 115. No support in history has had to deal with the shit we have from the media and other supporters due to 115 on a daily basis yet not once has there been anything said to keep the support onboard.
We have a a CEO that to my knowledge has not said anything to any British media outlet or even our own internal media since the day he joined.
The Barca 8 example on Sunday was yet another fuck up. It’s gone viral round the world with millions of views and thousands of ‘plastic’ comments with silence from City.
No doubt tomorrow there will be a big group of empty seats in the South Stand behind the goal right in the best spot for tv cameras to pick up to get the rest of country sniggering.
It would be so easy to fix it but nobody at City is interested.
