I have no idea what this thread is about.

Some fan on twitter moaning about how football isn't what it used to be but applying it to only city rather than seeing it's the same at any big club.

Basically the same shite you can read on any forum in the country but it got some traction because she's a bird who is quite fit

That's about it

Quite fit, you say?
 
The funny thing is, I don’t moan about the North stand.
I didn’t moan about my season ticket price.
I don’t moan about the beer and food prices.
I don’t moan about the atmosphere. I try and play devils advocate on that.
I don’t moan about the staff at City as they all try and do a good job to the best of their ability on a match day.
I’ve never moaned about the investment in the team, in the players, having Pep as our manager, the stadium, and in East Manchester.
I have documented that through my pictures over decades, more so than any other City fan in the world. :-)
I stay out of the match day thread because it’s toxic and full of City fans moaning.
What I moan about, and it covers a wide spectrum of issues, is the way the fans are being treated by the directors at times, which I don’t agree with.
That isn’t moaning.
It’s being concerned about our fans.
Yet some people on this forum think I moan all the time.
I don’t.

You didn’t moan about the North Stand? You were fucking hysterical about the proposed GA seats at the front - gonna ruin the whole thing….. etc etc….
 
The same thing was mentioned on here when the protests were first mentioned. Some of us got absolutely slaughtered for mentioning the word PROTESTS, never mind organising it, and taking part in it. There is a quiet core of City supporters and BM members who are quite happy to let the directors do whatever they want with the club and to the fans without ever questioning anything they do. Thankfully not all City fans are like that, which is not a bad thing in my opinion.

As for your point about how the club was run in the past compared to how it is run now, that’s a valid point.
I think it was the National Front type pics and obsession with tourists that some posters didn’t like. I’ve got mates who vote Reform but will no longer come on here because it’s too politicised. Of course we want our fan base to be dominated by local people but we are also inclusive.

The protests themselves including pivotal roles by 1894, the Foodbank and TU Blues were very measured and effective. They seemed to get the ground rocking too when everyone was in the stands. Credit to the protest leaders.

I know this place hates criticism, but that's how institutions tend to improve. So many Chicken Lickens on here running around covering their eyes and ears and taking it all so personally.
She makes some good points.
There's plenty more.
Does she raise any points that haven't been raised on here over the past few years. other than the one about defibrillators?
 
Well this set of Directors are a million times better than the ones we had through the 80s 90s and the early 2000’s. I’m nor saying everything is perfect but it’s a damn site better than anything I’ve ever known as a City fan over 40 odd years. Some people need a sense of perspective, moaning and complaining is so fucking easy.
Yes and no. But we now pay a lot of money. Getting into the ground without a degree in computing should be a base expectation.

Millions of people would struggle if they ever invented contactless card payments, or some sort of payment wallet on a phone. - Looks bloody stupid when someone pays with their watch.
 
I'm "match going", yet strangely I don't feel even slightly "fucked over".

Some of the things they bring in, I'm not overly enthused about, and I've said so, but my overall experience is still good, as I suspect is the case for the majority of supporters.

What I'm sick of, and really sick of, is the serial fucking moaning about everything about my club, on and off the pitch (by a pretty small majority it has to be said). Social media is the absolute cause of that.

My focus is the football on the pitch, and we are still up there with the best in the world imho.
As long as you are ok that's all that matters. Fuck the thousands of fans who aren't.
 
Every thread?
Do you follow every thread I post on?
I think you are exaggerating.
Yes, you are exaggerating.
No, I care about our fans, and the way the club treats them on certain issues.
If you think that’s just me moaning for the sake of it about the directors. that’s your misunderstanding and misinterpretation of me as a person and as a City fan.
You are a moaning fucker though ;)
 
Great, more knocking of the club we (most of us) support, just what's needed.
Yes.because " Everything's Fine"...?
The club ,and possibly many others too,need to ensure they have clear defined procedures in place to deal with heart attacks in the crowd.
The players getTop level treatment...on the pitch.
The punters ? After climbing the steps to their elevated seating position....have to wait in hope if they collapse.
This needs sorting.

People can't quite grasp that supporting the club at the expense of the fans is just shithousery really, we are halfway down the slippery slope and we haven't the balls left to use them to stop our final legacy demise.

Hysterical? Lol!

There's no need to swear either.

FFS, I knew somebody would remember. ;-)

It had to be you, didn't it? :-)

I have moaned about the dog-leg hotel section and the first incarnation of the hotel sails on the mock-up. I still don't like the dog-leg section of the hotel, but I'm happier with the sails, as they look better now.

I've not really moaned about the stand itself, bar those 2 moans, as you've called them?

In fact, I've been very positive about the stand itself, posting information about it from the PA, discussing it in depth with other forum members on the thread for the last two years, and taking thousands of (positive) pictures of its construction, so let's have some balance, ah. Anyone would think I've spent the last two years moaning about the North stand expansion. :-(

Yes, I did moan about the GA+ seating being at the front of the new tier, or as it turned out, at the front of the current second tier. I wasn't the only person to moan about that. But I've come to accept it now, as it isn't going to change.
