Away fans / tourists in home sections

[mexico1970]

I’m sure one of the first couple of questions will be why are so many city fans reselling their tickets and why aren’t other city fans buying them

The answer would be that the tourists have whole rows of seats, how did they manage that when blues trying to get tickets have to sit on their own.

Make it make sense!

Mandarin speaking guides you say. Is this a crime or evidence of some tourist takeover? This topic is embarrassing and it will not be long before Man Utd fans and the media find it. Just to make clear, not all City fans support this. This is on the 1894 Group.

Fan groups at United like MUST and The1958 would be on our side with this and support us over it. They’ve had to put up with it for decades.

Funny thing though,

I messed up not buying my lad's FG ticket for yesterday.

I expected to see a touriststy type sat in it but it was empty for the whole game.

We did have a family occupying 4 seats around us who were Egyptian!

One of the lads appeared disappointed when Marmoush went off!

Also, a Bloke from Italy who had come to see Savinho!

Some people must be fucking loaded.

Talk Shite know it's a PL problem, not just a problem at City. The show is highlighting the problems at City. Yes, there will be teasing and belittling questions asked during the show, but you wouldn't expect anything less from Talk Shite. The point of the show is to highlight the problems that are going on at City. (and at other PL grounds)

To be honest I’m all for protest done in the right way but dancing with the devil that is Talkshite wouldn’t be my way.

All big clubs will have some rows held back for tourists kids football teams and are sold as packages I understand that I’m more on about the single seats hear there and all over the ground that are full of away fans and tourists.

There has to be a team or department at City handling parties of tourists and block booking seats together.

Hi, is that the ticket office.
Yes.
I'd like two seats together for me and my son for a PL game.
I'm sorry, we've only got a few single seats left around the ground.
Try the FA cup game, we've got thousands of seats left.
You'll definitely get two seats together for that game.

And there we fucking have it, and THAT is what the complaining is about. They shouldn't hold anything back for tourists and certainly not block seats when blues can't sit with their families or friends.

I hope this turns into bad press for them.

Stefan has used Talkshite very well.
He has used it as a positive for City's 115 case.
Let's see how it goes with 1894.
Of course there will be awkward questions.
But there will also be an opportunity to put the fans points of view over as well.

It won’t though it will filter out as the weeks go by and the bigger games get fewer and fewer. Until the next big game we play next season

 

[pride in battle]

This will probably fall on deaf ears but feel how you want about tourists and away fans coming in the home end but do you not think battering a random tourist for celebrating their goal is a bit over the top? It stinks of misdirected anger to me. Who actually cares about football that much to throw punches en masse at some random Malaysian dude

Agree, fucking low lifes.

Been rolling on too long mate, the Liverpool game for me looked like the club is on a big push to alienate traditional blues.

Next step the toothless govt overseer.

When is it on?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Good luck to 1894 with the Talkshite interview. I can't se it being too problematic for the guys as TS will welcome another stick with which to beat City.

Yeah the horse has bolted alright and not just at city at all the top clubs. And unfortunately we don’t have a strong fan representation and the club walks all over us. The club doesn’t give a fuck about bad press once the money keeps rolling in. It’s sad times. But one day the arse will fall out of it and everyone be sorry us the fans for being fucked over and the club for not treating us with a bit of respect and dignity

Good luck they’ll need it I hope the come across well and opens peoples eye at the club but unfortunately I don’t think the club will give a fuck

There are some on here still defend the club, however this banner was taken down at the arsenal game and again at the scouse game. "They don't like it up 'em" and "careful who you criticise" springs to mind.

 

[CoventryBlue]

The lack of reply to the open letter is criminal. Genuinely concerned for a Plymouth fan this weekend unless the club do something this week.

1894 going on talksport could be exactly what's needed

 

[jrb]

The boardroom at City will be tuned into Talkshite. ;-)

Some footage of a dipper in our end yesterday getting a beating. Grown men doing that who have probably never thrown a punch in their life. Sad thing is the stewards get a few too. They’re not there to be hit.

I can’t imagine the shame of being identified and broadcast on the socials as someone who has done that.

Unfortunately this is what's needed.
The stewards bosses have a duty of care to act on.
City doesn't give a f-uk about fans getting hit and never will.
Stewards in blocks210,211 are logging every incident regarding away fans celebrating in the home fans seating.
There reporting this to both City and their bosses. And nothing is being done.
It will take a employment tribunal before any reaction Unfortunately. CTID
