Away fans / tourists in home sections

I had to go to town yesterday to take my lazy as fuck step daughter her laptop as she left it at home when she visited from uni. I went via the fly over so passed the stadium, this is around 12pm - 4.5 hours before kick off.

There were loads, and I mean loads of half and half scarf wearers just milling around the stadium and the streets.

They seem to be multiplying like gremlins.
 
I think the various forums / groups need to continue a collective action, championing the voice of the match going fans. The recent collaboration on the letter to city was a good starring point. It got some media coverage and we know corporate city don't like anything negative. I believe we are still awaiting a response from city , if so get some media coverage again - 'city owners ignore open lettrr'. Madrid and yesterday were a joke. My view would be for the various groups to continue putting the pressure on. A 1000 fans waiving Individual small posters saying 'stop exploiting loyalty' would be a start. The various groups standing together with the 1894 banner and a press statement outside the main entrance might be another way of putting pressure on. Controversially..a threat of a fan boycott of the signing up to the cup schemes would gain massive publicity.
We are at at crossroads, collective action gives us all a voice - so 1894, solid citizens, city matters, OSC - LETS GET A 2025 EQUIVALENT OF FORWARD WITH FRANNY (or forward with Toddy!)

Where the fuck are the thousand of "loyal" fans that have been priced out?

For me personally - I wouldn't spunk £35 on a membership to go to the occasional game, ergo I can't get a ticket for Plymouth.
People vote with their feet with this sort of stuff.
I hope families actually get tickets for this and can sit together with other Blues.
Based on Plymouth supporters comments regards away support though I think you'll find loads of them all over the place!!!!

We've pissed off so many fans that we're offering four tickets for an FA Cup fifth round game to each ST holder.

The 2 paragraphs quoted seem to contradict each other, but just my interpretation
 
Tourists I have absolutely no problem with, although they should be told in no uncertain terms when purchasing their tickets that they are only to support the home team. Away fans in our end is a different story although if they've got anything about them they sit on their hands and try to blend in as much as possible (as im sure many of us in this thread have done) anyone openly cheering for the away team should expect to get at least verbal abuse and at worst a crack.

As for the club they're skating on very thin ice ive never felt so unwanted and under valued as I do now im a season ticket holder in all cup schemes and genuinely the only reason ive not fucked it off completely by now is the fact its something I do with my old fella and kids, the cup schemes are going next year and if they continue to put season ticket prices up (which they will the massive twats) then its something ill have to consider in future

I hope so.

I'm not advocating for people getting their heads kicked in, but I do think having a group of fans who immediately interject on this stuff and can look after themselves a bit wouldn't go amiss.

I think it would be a good way of doing things.

Just look at European clubs with their Ultra sections, nobody gets in

So many questions...

Did he go to the rags club shop during the morning and then make his way to the Etihad without stopping at his hotel first?

Did he get that hat from the same tout outside the ground where he got that half-and-half scarf?

so many questions.....
so many 'who gives a fucks'..

Why are you arsed, it's not a City thing, happens at every PL game.

The UK is a tourist destination, football has become a check list for visitors.

Not for me, the last thing I would do on holiday is watch a footy match but then again, we are blessed with having one of the best teams playing in the most popular league in the world. That's why we have tourists.

Can't have it both ways, if the PL wasn't so successful then no one would want to watch it.
The price of success I suppose but nobody in their right mind would go back to the dark days of the 80's surely.

I do me and they can do what the fuck they want.
They have to be prepared for a slap if they celebrate a goal against City though.

You're probably right. But I am arsed, as are the majority of other fans.

Just ruins the matchday atmosphere which, I'm not sure about others, is a huge part of going to City games.

IMO anyway. Could be overthinking/overcomplicating it. But give me the 21/22 and 22/23 Real Madrid atmospheres over the shite that it was a couple of weeks ago.

Away fans in home areas | Tottenham Hotspur

We are aware of frustrations regarding away fans sourcing tickets in home areas. This negatively impacts the wider fan experience - preventing genuine home fans from supporting the team in person - and creates challenging situations for our stewards. Ahead of our upcoming fixture against...

Not sure if this was mentioned as this link is from 11 days ago but Spurs put out a statement about the same thing happening there.
