City fan suffers broken leg after being attacked at Leeds game

[Donmcfc]

Season tickets, although not sure how long the waiting list is?

So we've got 8,000 potential fans desperate to buy season tickets but not desperate enough to buy tickets for a Saturday afternoon home game against Leeds?

Don’t ask me, it wasn’t me who decided the fucking extension was needed. Allowing City fans to buy season tickets would help

I was really excited about the extension, the possibility of a ‘Blue Wall’ etc. But I looked around the stadium from my seat in CBL3 yesterday, and thought what have we done?

Making them a more realistic price will also help - I won't hold my breath on either of those happening though

Going through gate K into the East Stand at about 2pm yesterday I was asked by a steward to lift up my top,supposedly to check if had a Leeds top on. Why would they do that for fans going into a home stand? Makes you wonder if the club knew that tickets were going to Leeds fans.

I never thought I’d say this but the club, in terms of its directors, execs and management have become cunts. However shit we’ve been under previous owners and managers I never thought they completed contemptuously ignored the importance of the fans

If a fan has been attacked inside the ground that is surely a duty of care issue in the same way it would be anywhere else? I don’t understand why football clubs should be any different.

Is there an official body we can coordinate a complaint to regards city not adhering to the safety rules of the stadium by allowing 3rd parties to sell tickets to anyone and circumnavigate the supposed safety restrictions us fans have in place to stop us selling to away fans? This must be illegal on safety grounds?

And they can never understand why they are hated worldwide ............a **** fanbase that is proud of actions like this .............the PL is amazing it should be a place you want to get to but sadly its all about money and clubs would rather have a gloryhunting prick than some diehard fan

Or the slowest bar staff

No everytime I've used there's been loads of them and all really quick.

Where do we go from here then? Seems the club want to peddle their narrative, but it all comes out in the wash eventually.

A fan has indeed suffered a broken leg, despite the club suggesting otherwise.

You better not give your ticket to a mate for free, as the club want their resellers to sell them at a premium, regardless of who they support.

Dread to think what is deemed a serious injury by the club. Like they give a fuck, anyway.

What struck me in that article is apparently the club let opposition fans in 93:20 so long as they behave themselves

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

They will continue to give not one solitary fuck unless something embarrasses them, like last season’s protests.

We are seen as an inconvenience. They have lost sight of the fact that this is our club, and they are custodians.

Time to challenge the club now, protests or other methods.

This cannot continue, they’ve lied about ticket holders passing on tickets, and now this.

Ashamed that the club are lying

 

[uwerosler28]

Interesting the article states Leeds fans where in the corporate areas takings advantage of the fact city allow any fans in there so long as they behave. I was under the impression official policy in those areas was home fans only so do we now have confirmation of the opposite?

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Depending on the outcome here from the incident if I was the injured fan I’d be taking the club to court over what’s gone on

 

[wearethesouthstand]

Why was this thread taken down in the first place

 

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

If it was a Leeds fan with the broken leg the city fan be banned before they left the stadium and there would be no cover up story on the clubs social media

You would hope that they've done their homework before going public....
