A s**t away end full of tourists

I would add that it’s rather helpful that someone got footage. As someone mentioned above, it’s highly unlikely (if not impossible) this arose from the odd person passing on a ticket.

If you've raised this before, why do you bother with CM?

A totally pointless exercise

Home games are just as bad.
I was waiting for someone last week near entrance p
There's a big map of the ground the amount of foreign people looking on there no idea where they were was a real eye opener

Spurs or Feyenoord?

It’s actually unbelievably disrespectful turning up dressed like that. I’d never go to an El Classico dressed full Bert.

Disrespectful motherfuckers.

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

Unfortunately - as per the protests outside both stadia today - the ONLY "supporters" PL clubs give a fuck about these days are those willing to pay over the odds (and spend in the club shop)
Happened to see Middlesbrough/Hull on tv yesterday, plenty of seats available there. Like others on here, sadly, I'd take being relegated to see our true fan base return.
Success has been brilliant, but the price has become far to high now

You won’t see those 8 Barcelona fans in Barcelona shirts at Hull away. Or very few tourists buying those Hull away tickets from ticket touting websites.

As you say, maybe one season in the Championship, 115, will make City realise how important the clubs legacy away following is.

Fans who have been going for years miss out but Barcalona fans can get tickets what a joke this club has become

The brass neck on these cunts.
I get going to the game as a tourist. But in the away end, wearing the colours of a different club.
It’s pretty fucking disrespectful.

Whoever is selling the tickets on needs banning too.

A totally pointless exercise

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.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The cunts, in flaunting their colours, are disrespecting every blue who wanted one, and couldn’t.

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.

But, we’d be called ungrateful cunts on here and by other City fans.
