City Circle

Genuine, real, LOL

I completely forgot about this!!!!

When will I see my May 2012 marriage commemorated on the circle? Hopefully just before the 2015 divorce... (I never said that)

Like one of our attacks, its taking its time....... ;-)
The circles are close to the area they're supposed to be but the guys fixing them keep passing them to each other as no one wants to take the responsibility for putting one in.

They've been trying to fix the first ones on the corners for ages but they just can't get those right.

If we didn't laugh........ ;-)
 
Well Easter has been and gone - and unless they forgot to tell me, the circles are still in boxes somewhere.

Wouldn't mind of it was some office junior taking control of this and fobbing me off.


Time City gave people their money back and scrapped it, gave them money back and still laid them or did something to compensate the people that paid a lot of money for these things expecting them to be in place within a reasonable amount of time.

Surprised it's not been on Watchdog yet - just the sort of thing they like to report on - Huge company (Club) treating little fans like dirt and fobbing them off left, right and centre. They step in and it's all sorted and everyone is happy (ish) ;-)

The real issue is the club won't make a formal statement on it. Even if they said 'Hey suckers, we've got your cash and you'll have to wait another 2 years' then at least you'd be happy they acknowledge you exist and they've got a commitment to fulfill!

What we get however is nothing official, just the odd phonecall for those that persist in banging their heads on the wall.

I have given up communicating with the club reference this as I know it's like the proverbial phone ringing out in an empty office. In short, there is nobody running with this project at the club. I know this as if you read the full thread, I spoke about a year ago to the company in Birmingham who make the disks and they told me they no longer know who is their contact at the club because the original contact had left and nobody had taken ownership of the project.

Frankly it's a shambles that rates well above York away based on the fact that York away actually happened!
Didn't they make discs for other clubs too? If so I wonder how the other fans all got on with theirs?

Talking about kudos, if City's take up of the Circle was low, wouldn't this further add to its exclusivity if they placed the few discs somewhere very prominent so aiding any future roll outs of the City Circle?
 
Considering the enormity of the new build and other ideas floating around regarding redevelopment I am quite chilled about the situation. I am sure if the club gave a refund to everyone it would not amount to much anyway. When/if it happens, it happens.

What is your disc for - as in is it a 21st present, an anniversary present, a memorial?

Mine was for me and my youngest son mentioning us both and saying something about City forever IIRC. Having said that I've just remebered that I bought TWO, one to be placed at the club and one for us to place somewhere at home which I haven't got round to yet......... Fuckin hell, I'm as bad as City!!!

Birthday but also memorial to a childhood friend, who was a blue, who died playing football in his 40's .Only problem was when they sent me the picture of what my disc read, it was wrong. I'm hoping it's correct if and when. I can understand people who ordered them for a particular occasion being upset but in the scheme of things I am ok with the wait.
 
I got one of these City Circles when they first come out and I have the replica, what I no longer have though are my login details or receipt add to the fact that the card I paid for it on has expired and I have not got clue what the number of it is am pretty much screwed for trying to claim a refund.

When he started it was for a 21st. Now it's for a memorial it's gone on so long.
 
Just checked my paperwork now, paid £354 on 22nd January 2013.


Was told it'd all be sorted by end of the season or at latest, during the Summer. Foolishly I forgot to ask which season they meant.


Out of respect, I'm waiting for 2 phonecalls from the families involved before making a real fuss.

That is serious money, have the Club been in touch with you at all?

I wouldn't say the club has been in touch, more that they've spoken to me when I've contacted them if you know what I mean. Probably had a dozen conversations with them over the last 2 years.

Every time I've been promised that it's all in hand and that it'll be sorted soon.

The last chat was with Danny Wilson who said he'd taken control of this fiasco - suggested it'd all be done by Easter and gave me his personal number at the club. said to get in touch if I'd any questions about this. Left him two messages and he's not got back to either. That's really pissed me off as I've only ever heard good things about Danny and he's just ignored me and someone else who's got involved with this.

Speaking to one of the family members next week about where we're going to take this now.
 
If it's any consolation I'm still waiting to be told how I can collect the seat I bought when we left Maine Rd.
 
I contacted the club about this again last February and was told 'we' would hear some definite news by the end of March. Meanwhile .............?!

This is pathetic from a club I've supported since 1954.

Trading standards if you have any sense !
 
Has anyone heard anything recently, I tried calling and emailing the club, but I have still not had a reply from anyone involved in the project..? :-(
