The Barca 8 has caused some issues at the clubThe thing is engagement with supporters is completely separate to rinsing supporters for profits.
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.
It is being looked into
I had a message from someone who works there saying it has caused trouble at the club
I started a thread in general football about the erosion of season tickets, I think we're now moving full pace towards a suite of access memberships that grant you first dibs, and that's all. I suppose in a world of consumer choice, traditional full loyalty season tickets are anachronisticSeason ticket holders can now join the away day scheme ballot for only an additional £150, join now as memberships are limited!

Good! Let's hope this is the start of the club sorting out away tickets for City fans only and not for tourists. it's long overdue.

I am pleased to hear it is being looked into. Am I to assume the issue is someone at the club's mates/family/etc embarrassed them or is it higher, such as Khaldoon isn't pleased? Do you think the average fan will ever know the results of the "looking into?"The Barca 8 has caused some issues at the club

I know you likely don't have the answers. I was just curious. Thank you for the information.

I suspect it's just word salad, if these dickheads are related to someone at the club it's going to be a stretch that those at the club are bothered at all.

Let's hope it is Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon. Only they can bring about real change at the club.

I really hope the no transferring tickets to friends+family, is wrong. I’ve only used it a few of times due to illness, but I always feel much happier that I’m giving my ticket to someone I know is actually a City fan than ever putting it on the ticket exchange.As predicted
Manchester City Football Club
Officially a “Ticket Cartel”
The days of our loyalty are NO LONGER an interest to our football club and the days when Generations of families were the cornerstone of any football club are now being forgotten, apart from documentaries where they want you to believe - Hypocrisy at its best.
They simply don’t give a SH1T…
Apart from being ripped off with Flexi Gold season tickets - and Cup pricing the next chapter will begin from next season :
1. NO transferring of tickets to family & friends
2. A ballot for all away tickets
This is what happens with success the heart and soul of our great club is being ripped apart for the love of greed - REMEMBER every Premier League Club doesn’t need fans in the stadium as they make enough £££££££ without us
Football at MCFC is now too expensive for the working class family, and the priority is day trippers/cherry pickers who sit in their seats and then film the 90 minutes with their smart phones
This is FOOTBALL IN 2024
But the way it’s gone and going then let’s rename it SOCCER
Plus I know two sets of lads who share season tickets because they can’t all afford one each. Four brothers share two season tickets, and unrelated to them (not just not family haha) three mates who share two. They go depending on who is available on any given game, they never go empty.
It could well beI suspect it's just word salad, if these dickheads are related to someone at the club it's going to be a stretch that those at the club are bothered at all.
However I was at Clanfield on Sunday and saw the Barca mob, I also commented on Twitter in response to the video of them
The person at the club I have known for years and they wrote to me on Monday themselves without me asking the club for a explanation
They simply said there were ‘ructions’ at the club
‘Serious questions being asked’ and ‘a lot of complaints received’
Is any of this factual?Only getting worse no transfering of tickets to friends and family next season and all away matches are going to a ballot.
