Thanks for the replies.

Seen him yesterday at Villa. He's a long time member of Baguley & Brooklands branch and the branch have raised a formal complaint, which should add weight to his case.

So far, complete silence from the club, except a cursory email to advise him that his ban is now lifted.

No apology.

It'll be interesting on Boxing Day when he crosses paths with the stewards in his block.

City only apologise when our fans are attacked by Liverpool fans.

So, my mate, the Wythenshawe ONE as we now call him, has today been acquitted and charges dropped by GMP. After waiting for 4 days for City to send the CCTV, the video clearly shows it as mistaken identity, the guy behind the Wythenshawe ONE, was the culprit.

So, the stewards pointed out the wrong supporter, in the wrong seat, on the wrong row. Now, after being arrested, frogmarched out of the ground in cuffs, only seeing half the game (lucky bastard), spending the night in Newton Heath nick, an immediate 3 year ban notice issued by GMP to City who subsequently suspended his SC and cancelled his ticket for Villa.

He is rightly pissed off and doesn't want to let this go. Some faceless steward has fucked up, a CCTV operator has fucked up. Someone has to be held accountable for the shitshow he endured. The presumption of guilt is astounding. You're banned, no questions. No process, just an email telling a 15 year SC holder he's not welcome. With the stark message from the Club stating if the Police ban is longer than a season, you're SC is rescinded and gone forever.

Simple question:

Does anyone on here know the protocol for taking this further?

Ta.

If one of the stewards confronts him, a polite explanation of the situation would be fine. I'd imagine the steward in question would feel a sense of embarrassment more than anything
 
not had to deal with the security team since peter fletcher was in charge, and it was just as bad back then. only ever discussed any situation via letter, and it was your guilty until you prove your innocent.

Which is kind of ironic considering the clubs protestations about assumptions of our guilt on the charges.

We hate Bill Shankley and we hate St John to the tune of the Minstrel Boy, one of my favourite non City songs. Saw them at Burnley last season songs loud and varied,find their support far better than Liverpools.

Yeah Everton have a great away support considering the shit they put up with.
Home support not bad too.
Far better than Liverpools

I hope he gets sorted mate, the club shouldn’t be treating their own fans like that. As someone else said above, I reckon Liverpool would treat their own supporters better.

I'm guessing that the lad involved, even though wholly innocent (of a totally nothing offence btw) stands in a more boisterous part of the ground. City will use any excuse they can to deter boisterous behaviour and get rid of the kind of fans who do anything that the middle class daytrippers might be slightly uncomfortable with (swearing, chanting etc).

The club are cunts. The stewards get a bad rap but they're merely following instructions.
