He doesn't seem to command the respect of most loyalty points holders when you see Bluemooners posts.I hardly know Kevin but it’s easy to see how he commands the respect of our Club when you see the Cheesey interview.
Something about how they bought an office for 25k from the club to use as a travel office at Maine Rd and when we moved nobody said here’s your 25k back. Of course they never made any money on the travel.So what's the rough the supporter clubs are taking, just seems they always get the smooth.
He really is one two faced twat.
It’s the Forever Blue podcastHave you a link

I think Kevin will survive being unpopular with the posters who criticise anything to do with Supporters Clubs.
Kevin and the 20 odd thousand Members are too busy supporting City.
Always reminds of Dave Whelan and his broken leg when you come on and keep posting the above.

KP was ticket office manager around that time working for City.

I have just listen to the Forever Blue podcast where Kevin Parker is interviewed by Ian Cheeseman. Mr Parker is clearly a clever man, and should go into politics.
So, supporters Clubs get 20% of the allocation,’ Season card holders get an allocation of 40%, oh no sorry its 60%.’ Nicely done Kevin.
According to Kevin the Club could not get rid of tickets they used to purchase at prices bigger than the £30 of today. If they didn’t sell them the Club would have to stand the cost. Loyalty points were introduced by the club to sell these tickets with the ‘Loyalty’ points attached as an incentive, so City eventually made Wembley then you could get a ticket based on your ‘Loyalty ‘points.
As a throw away comment, Kevin gave us this 'Loyalty' point from supporters Club. The supporters Club bought an office at Maine road for £25K, and never got anything back when Maine road was sold! What has that got to do with current allocation of tickets? What did they buy or was it a gift for long term rent?
According to Kevin the number of season card holders has not changed we have had 40K FOR YEARS, but supporters club numbers have expanded exponentially, so there are now 280! He goes on to say many are abroad, and rhymes them off, then says they get very few requests for away match tickets from the foreign supporters clubs. [so, his numbers have stayed the same, but we now have 40K season card holders] ‘But supporters clubs are not getting anything they don’t deserve’
Kevin mentions several times that the Supporters club been going 70 years, as though it’s a loyalty thing. Meaning they deserve their spot more than season card holders who as individuals will not have done that.
Some more figure given out by Kevin. There are 7K supporters club members across the world via the 280 clubs, remember they get 20% of an away allocation and Kevin said the foreign clubs don’t generally ask for away fixture tickets. We have 40K season card holders who are allocated 60% of an total allocation. So, for round figures say we get an allocation of 3.5K FOR ANY AWAY GAME. Supporters club get 700 between 7K members saying all the worlds supporters club apply; which Kevin openly admits they don’t. Season card holders get an allocation of 2100 between 40K. How is that fair?
Where has the ‘Loyalty’ gone from these points that are now called ‘ticket’ points? I would imagine soon to be scrapped and made into a rolling pints system to satisfy the majority who have not been collecting the ‘Loyalty’ points over the many years. Yet the Supporters club will still get their allocation and us mere season card holders who have been following City home and away for MANY years will have to put up with joining the que for away tickets. WELL DONE SEASON CARD REP. YOU HAVE PLAYED AN ABSOLUTE BLINDER, NOT!
