A s**t away end full of tourists

Really is depressing how tourists and away fans get tickets at the expense of city fans, both for away games and at home. At home, reacting to an away fan in our end gets treated more harshly than the away fan - it's an absolute disgrace.

The club really needs to get back in contact with its fans. Can you for one minute imagine a liverpool fan get banned for twatting a city fan in their end today, or being told to take a banner down because it might upset someone - would they fuck. It seems city are infested with people who don't actually like city, from stewards to the media department. Not sure how to change this mentality, too many soft cunts, the likes of who leave early and get all upset at fellow city fans having the audacity to stand up to away fans in the city end, or want to give people like Simon Stone a hiding.

City fans with bollocks need to form some kind of union that makes the club listen to stuff like ticket sales and costs, and stewarding, not the soft fucking take it up the arse mentality that seems to be our relationship with the club now.

Issue is the majority can’t be arsed. Feyenoord last week showed me that 6 away fans taking the piss me and few others around us had enough. End up being shouted down by our own fans for telling them to fuck of jumping up and down. Nail in the coffin for me as a fan base other than the away following we’ve become soft. It’s now I’d argue creeping in to the away support.

The result we all become to passive on issues laughing and shouting down a protest rather than backing it.

As I’ve said before I’m happy we’re having this spell hopefully it will rid some leaches and also damage the touts incomes.

I hate to compare to United because we are above them in everyway other than ticket allocations. They had similar issues and have introduced a system which rewards the hardcore fans. That happened for them as it was kicking off between them and tourists. Feel like that’s the only way city will take notice once someone is pummelled…

We can all moan about tickets, season tickets, concessions and get together with other clubs’ fans for a few hundred to protest behind a banner, which is laudable, but ultimately unless we take action like the German fans do then nothing will get done about it. For me, it’s the British disease moaning and accepting something.
We need all clubs fans to join in a mass protest, it’s never going to happen but, if all season ticket holders and away fans stayed away for one round of matches then suddenly the players would be playing in front of half empty stadiums.
I’m sure that the clubs get together and take it in turns to twist the screw on the legacy fans, Spuds removing concessions, get away with it then the others do it

I’ve said for a while we need a much more militant fan group, but not sure the club would even engage with them?

Because City Matters has to exist (due to Premier League rules), resignation or not. Others resigned before my time and it didn't achieve anything. At least I know I can put these issues on record. I don't disagree that it's powerless.

I appreciate you love the club and believe you're doing the right thing, but if this is a constant issue (and it's a major one) that's been raised before and the club isn't taking action, CM is obviously a pointless exercise

It may have to exist because of PL rules and (I apologise if this sounds harsh) it would seem to me that if there are no real wins, the people representing the supporters are in it only so they can say "I'm on City Matters committee "

I'm surprised the club haven't found reason to kick you out of CM....what the fuck do you think you're doing having dialogue with the great unwashed?

Go on any of the internet ticketing isites mate, they ask you how many you tickets you want ..... these so called 'Barca' fans aside , there will have been planty of others who bought tickets for both the City end and the Liverpool stands from Internet ticket sites.

How do think all those Galatasay fans got into home stands at Old Trafford? United fans were livid.

But you have a fair point too, and I don't doubt for a second that somebody like Sorriano is handing out free tickets 'willy nilly' to all his mates who want to attend any given game, even when it's not at the Etihad!

English football fans slag off the Ultras, but at least they do have the numbers, a voice, a presence, and an impact the clubs do listen to across Europe.

The club refuse to tell us what % of tickets are going where for this reason. For years this forum has been on a witch-hunt against so called “points whores” and the 18-25 allocation. Been looking in the wrong place

Spot on elf - the club are complicit in the disgraceful way that bit by bit less tickets are going to points holders every season , lack of transparency shows the club have no shame - hoping for Millwall away in the Cup in tomorrows draw , let’s see how many tourists fancy that one …

There’s absolutely no way 8 away tickets side by side at Liverpool could have come from anywhere else apart from the club itself. Not even a ticket touting website. It’s just not possible.
