Quite a funny One this, So she's always a been a Chelsea women's fan as we didn't have a women's team. But she's a City fan at heart regarding supporting the men. She's admitted too not successfully transferring too City women from Chelsea, supporter wise, Which I guess must be difficult tbh.

It's not unreasonable to think everything she's said is spot on and she's been hard done by.

I feel ashamed.

I was at a United FA Cup parade in the city centre when I was young. :-(

I took my rag son to a Un*ted v Spurs game once, I’m toast if this ever gets out.

Saw a lad get pulled at the Bayern match at the back of SSL1. Don’t know what for. Not going to speculate. Handcuffed. 7 Police officers in riot gear surrounding him, helmets, etc, not wearing them. Numerous stewards also in attendance. 2 women filling in paperwork, looking rather pleased with themselves. The Police then forced the lad into a narrow passage way that leads to the catering bar. Kept him there for quite a while, talking to him, then led him away.

They probably thought he was singing the victim song. If so that amount of force and police manpower is commensurate with the offence. City have also apologised.

She actually said she's MOSTLY a City mens team fan and neutral when it comes to Women teams

Why can't we criticise her? She's a blagger...end of.

Not saying that, just these things tend to go full circle, and it’ll be us fans & the club that come out worse, she’s starting to play her trump cards, you know the drill!

In her tweet she just says she's a Mens City Fan. I've not read the "mostly" bit anywhere but fair enough if she's posted that.

Does seem a bit odd at first but I suppose when you think about it, it’s not that weird if you’re into both men and women’s football, to support different teams.

If I was to suddenly get into watching women’s football now, I imagine I’d probably support City.

But it’s only relatively recently that most clubs have really embraced a women’s team, or even had one at all.

So it wouldn’t be totally mad to have supported another women’s team from years back and stuck with them, even when City started taking it seriously.

Not saying that’s what this lady has done. Just the concept of it isn’t outrageous.

The only irony here is that you're completely discrediting the efforts of people who put in a lot of time & effort on behalf of fellow fans, without having the slightest notion of what they've done or achieved, and when you'd have no intention of putting in a tenth of the time and effort that they have.

I've made it clear that I partly agree with you. I definitely agree that the club sell CM short and we've had numerous, sometimes heated exchanges with them over this for some time. But without that direct channel with the club, many fans wouldn't have had the opportunity to get things quietly sorted out. And one of the first things we did, nearly four and a half years ago, was talk about the North Stand extension. The club presented its plans and some weren't to our liking, so we made our own suggestions, such as covering City Square and stopping them moving the Family Stand to somewhere completely unfeasible.

And re the joint letter issued, that was nothing to do with City Matters or approved by it. The chairman was told in no uncertain terms that he was wrong to get involved in that without consulting the rest of the group. And to his credit, he realised he was in the wrong.

But the Chairman’s delusion of grandeur tell you everything that is wrong with City Matters. Who was he to write that joint statement on behalf of City fans ? He should have stepped down the minute the backlash to that statement started. Apologising secretly to the other panel members means nothing.

I appreciate the time that the panel spare but it’s turned into a secret society where the club decide on a few matters to be discussed with a panel with no information leaving the room before or after.

Surely the City Matters concept was to be be a conduit between the fans and the club - when in fact the CM panel are simply representing themselves.

How can supporters tell City Matters reps feedback on issues when everything discussed is a secret. If supporters can’t have an input then City Matters is not fit for purpose.

And the icing on the cake is we’ve found out today that some of the panel have used the position for personal interest.
