A s**t away end full of tourists

Covid football was a chance for football fans to reclaim the game.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of football fans are too tribal and too selfish to do anything worthy of note so they will continue to get the bedsheets out whilst the men in suits laugh at them for the mugs we are.

The only way to stop this exploitation is mass boycott. Yesterday's game was viewed by tens of millions, it's viewed by tens of millions because the grounds are always packed and energetic. As we saw with Covid football, watching a game with no crowd or atmosphere is shit but you try getting 61,000 people to boycott for the good and the future of the game and 99% of them will be too selfish to do so but then moan in years to come when they are priced out.

There is literally no point anymore in complaining about it, 40 pages of wasted bandwidth when the only solution is staring everyone in the face but they're too blinded by their silly bedsheets and hashtags to do anything about it.

Football fans have all the power and have allowed this to happen. Don't blame men in suits who's job it is to exploit fans, blame ourselves.

I get what you’re saying.
But is boycotting really the solution with a club like City?
Would they not just fill the empty seats with more tourist fans?

We also seen with Covid that the show still goes on without fans or without fans

Yes and if the boycott was for more than 5 games they can take your season card off you

Toooooo fucking right - packed full of tourist cunts. I was in the back row 36 - and three rows in front, as I knew one day it would, it kicked off. As they went to take their penalty - a load of tourists started filming - which sent a whole load of real blues (me included) into a melt down. They simply didn’t care - they were all in half and half scarves and didn’t speak a word of English - and after ignoring a very angry lady in front of me - she twated the back of the head of one of them who refused to lower his phone. It was all about to go a bit Pete Tong - till wiser heads prevailed.

This is an abomination - and I’m sick of it. And yes - the club don’t give a flying fuck - but time to name and shame those selling onto touts???

…those selling them on to touts are Manchester City Football Club.

Seriously.

City will have already worked out the drop in revenues, the expected drop in attendances, etc, if City do get releagted to the championship , which may or may not happen after the 115 hearing.

On the plus side, there will be loads more away tickets available in the Championsip. :-)

Far less sadly. As the capacities are smaller

6 years later, and 10 years of continual success on the pitch, have changed those percentages. What are those percentages now? We don’t know because City won’t say, for obvious reasons.

still 15 percent for corporate as often the email says “we were given 450 tickets” etc which works out at 15 percent

It definitely feels like the clubs are conspiring behind the scenes to come up with ideas to squeeze more money from fans even though they know they’ll be unpopular and will lead to pushback. With City it was the disabled car parking fiasco. As you say, with Spurs - and then West Ham - it’s removing concessions. Now we have United jacking up concessionary prices for members to full price. If they get away with that one, I’m convinced other clubs will follow.

That co-ordinated approach is spoke about on here. It definitely feels like they agree how far they will all push it to rinse more money out of the game.
 
Haha imagine thinking Ferran gives a fuck about the local City fan. He told us what he thinks of us when he jumped in bed with the Super League.

Chelsea was good, Newcastle up and down (12.30) West Ham decent for that stadium, Bournemouth was dreadful, hardly any regular faces like yesterday, Brighton was good until we fell off tree defensively, I'm not at Palace but Villa and Leicester should be good as long as tickets get in right hands.

I'm going to both Villa and Leicester. Villa should be decent but Leicester should be even better. The 2021-22 season when we won 1-0 there with Bernardo scoring was probably the best City away atmosphere in the past decade for me. The singing was non-stop with everyone joining in. The following season was good too but not quite at the same level.
 
I can’t fathom why sponsors get tickets for away games home ones I understand. To think a multi million pound sponsorship deal hinges on if they get a couple of away tickets is madness. Tell them no sorry we only get 3000 max tickets but you can have a decent few for the home games

3,500 available tickets for Wednesday night suggests not.

Weren't the large group of Belgians at Arsenal a result of Vincent Kompany pooling all the players tickets? I also saw someone in a Chelsea tracksuit at Arsenal; he was getting a load of grief and showed the envelope his ticket came in, and it had a City player's name on it, so obviously a mate.

But still, common sense should dictate you don't wear another teams merch at a rival teams ground. Like at west ham the other day, someone's going to get twatted eventually

I'm in.

There is room for another group of 'activists' who operate with complete independence.

The OSC & 1894 depend on the club for support,a new group must be prepared to be more radical and direct in its actions.

Now is the time.....how to do it ??
