City Matters thread

[Prestwich_Blue]

Not really. You yourself stated you had been told stuff but asked not to share with us. I fully understand that and I fully accept it but to have a representative who supports another team...... is the women's team never discussed ?
I just find it shall we say, unusual.

We don't discuss football matters at all (except maybe commenting about a recent game). She supports Chelsea's Women's Team; she's hardly the female Kim Philby.

The female Kim Philby would be called Kim Philby.

Given there's 36 pages about an already deleted Tweet, is there a short summary of what this was all about?

The City Matters representative for LGBTQ+ fans was outed as primarily being a supporter of the Chelsea women's team.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

The female Kim Philby would be called Kim Philby.

His real name was Harold.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Daft name if true. Marginally better than Standy McStandface.

Dozens of 'journalists' will no doubt be awaiting the club to announce a multi million stand naming sponsorship deal with a previously unheard of company called "Centurions" based in Abu Dhabi.

That's how football works nowadays isn't it?

It could be said that that's one in the eye for @gordondaviesmoustache ....

 

[Centurions]

Ahh, I'm guessing that Twitter being Twitter, that didn't go down well?

 

[MadchesterCity]

A number of people have posted that City Matters are told things in confidence by the club.
Whilst it's not in the same category as dipper employees having computer passwords, I would have thought a Chelsea fan sat at the meetings was a tad stupid.

You just know one of the committee is a scouser

I don’t know all the names of the reps, but I’d have thought everyone knew we had aLGBT rep.

I honestly didn’t. I just thought all the reps would be to do with the football side of the makeup of our support, have reps that represent the different groups in categories who can buy tickets and not be split down any social lines like Asian, black or LGB+. I just imagined the fans would just fall into the Season ticket holders, Matchday/Cityzens members, Supporters Club members, families, OAPs rep and disabled groups.

I don’t see any difference between me as a season ticket holder, a gay season ticket holder, an Asian season ticket holder or a straight mixed-race female season ticket holder. If we are all adults but younger than 66 I just imagined we’d all be the same; just season ticket holders who are City fans who all have the same interest in the club.

Not that I’m saying there shouldn’t be an LGB+ rep, I just never imagined there’d be a need for one.

I've met a few City fans who were born and bred on Murkyside, and even more from Trafford.

So are you putting your name forward next time the elections come up? If not, that's how the weirdos get in!

I put my name forward for the last one (in September) and never heard back!

So eat your words! :’)

 

[I'm not really here]

I wonder if she would have been a citys women team supporter if they were doing as well as the mens? Or does she only go for winning teams?

I tend to agree. I can also see there are big commercial opportunities from the Club tapping into minority interests and expanding our fan base. There are already a lot of Asian Blues on the train back over the Pennines after a midweek Champs League game. I am contrasting that, in my mind, with the abysmal efforts of Yorkshire County Cricket Club to increase its supporter base amongst minorities (I’m talking marketing not the racism scandal).

Maybe not but she has denied a place on the committee to an LGBT proper blue and that can’t be right.

You should have said you supported a different team then!

But that us indeed poor form to put your name forward and hear nothing back. I hope you haven't been put off and try again next time

News from the meeting: Kevin Parker's been outed as a rag.

Bethany England was from Barnsley and playing centre forward for Chelsea around the time of Fran’s apparent conversion. It might be totally unrelated of course .

Never heard of her

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Never heard of her

Maybe because she didn’t get a kick in the Euros. She played plenty of times for England before then.
