Voting/views etc. to be done as Cityzens or via City Voice.
Am I the only one worried about the number of non-local fans (i.e. international fans who tend to be more involved with the club via the internet and who may know little about our city and history) having too big an influence over it given a large number of local fans (if not most) aren't that arsed about Cityzens stuff usually?
Depends on the options we're given but they may be more likely to favour the current one for example if that's all they know, or other options that may reflect the city poorly. Obviously I feel the views of local fans/fans with connections to Manchester/long-time fans/fans who know the history of the club's identity are more valuable than someone abroad who has a mere interest in City and is a registered 'Cityzen' as the badge should represent the city and be in keeping with history.
I assume by Cityzens they mean all rather than just members with access to buy tickets (such as the old blue card members or season ticket holders) - not sure of the ins and outs of the current system.
I assume we'll change to a circular badge but I just hope it's the best it can be. Personally I'm not keen on having any red whatsoever (other than lancashire rose, which probably isn't appropriate anymore) as that badge was before my time and we've evolved.
I share your concern.
I for example have never met a Manc who prefers the current one over the old one but I'm afraid we'll see thousands of Thais etc voting for the current eagle as that's the only one they know...
Personally I'd restrict the voting right to season ticket holders only but that's not gonna happen is it. So hopefully they'll give more weight to those answers from City fans with MCR postcode
I'm still quite sure we'll get a nice design eventually. Everyone can't be pleased anyway
