CITY: SHOWSEC, Atmosphere, & Blatant Bullying.
- Thread starter Mancityfans.net'er
- Start date
We had it confirmed we were there to be 'monetised' only 3 years back when people like Claudio smarmed their way on to the gravy train. Remember? http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/new-job-role-at-city-to-monetise-fans.288017/page-10

It's fairly clear by now the club has a certain 'profile' of fan in mind. Like a few have said, I don't know exactly what this supposed tipping point is when 'things will suddenly boil over'. Surely we are well past the point where there is any doubt about the clubs intentions, no?

What happened to that Lee John Kenny bloke who was supposed to be such a wonderful City fan and was filmed all during the interview process etc. and was employed as a 'membership executive'?
Just asking. :-)

Not blamimg the kids and the family stand for the current impass at City between the people running the club and the fans, but the rot set in when the club bulldozed the family stand through and forced City fans to move.
In hindsight, it was a warning of what was to come.
The club are so focussed on pushing the Khaldoon and Soriano mantra pf revenue, profit, etc, that those underneath them won't dare speak out and make waves. TBH they are part of it. Profit margins. Spread sheets. Meetings. Etc.
The 'matchday experience' nonsense is another example of where those running the club have totally taken their eye off the ball.
They are catering for the market they've created and have nurtured, while ignoring the market many of us still want at City.

50,000 plus at most home games. They are obviously doing something right. Seems like this thread has turned from slagging Showsec into slagging the club.

ShowSec don't do this off their own initiative you know. They take their instructions from the club. And for the last 3 years there's been no trouble in 109 since the last fiasco.50,000 plus at most home games. They are obviously doing something right.

Showsec are doing what the club ask....most of us go out of loyalty or habit.........giving up isnt easy and they know it.50,000 plus at most home games. They are obviously doing something right. Seems like this thread has turned from slagging Showsec into slagging the club.
What is happening at City is happening at most premier league clubs....is it wrong to question the direction some of it is going off the field in the stands??
You're right plenty will replace the ones who don't like it and are being targeted for ejections but the match day experience for lots of blues is wank
