Fans back at the Etihad

[Eccles Blue]

Didn’t I read somewhere that there was one of those thingymabob meetings with the fans representatives this week? Have we heard what happened? We are the fans after all. :-)

We had a meeting last night but nothing substantive has been decided. Lot more talking to do yet. As someone said, it is going to be a nightmare to organise. There are far more questions than answers currently (as the song goes).

Thank you, I wasn’t sure if I was remembering correctly or if it was something I’d seen from a while ago!
This not going out more than once a week gets you that way!! :-)



p.s. I love that song by the way. :-)

There was a doctor on Panorama last light saying how she expects the second wave to come in the early Winter.

By the time October comes around the second wave may well be with us.

I’m expecting nothing to come of this at the moment and see where we are come the time

I think if (big if) there are crowds back at some point in the medium term, season ticket deferrals would be a sensible way of managing the demand for tickets as inevitably a lot of people won't want to go in the present climate (I'm among them and would probably take up such an option if offered, but do want to keep my season ticket going forward).

You'll obviously have a points-based or ballot-based way of deciding where the (obviously very limited) tickets go, but I think such an option would be a good way for City to go about it.

The most practical way to go as long as social distancing remains is removing seats. This would increase numbers who can attend with safe access and egress. Otherwise some people would not be able to move for 2 hours.

Yeah, this would be a sensible step from the club. Surely they have to offer a deferment to all season card holders for next season. No one should feel pressured into renewing.

Completely agree. Very unlikely stadiums will open around the same time health service etc are being prepared for a second spike in October.

The club seem happy to do that, which is obviously what we want as well.

Just invite Bill and Melinda Gates along to the next fans forum meeting. They can let you know their plans for the second wave. ;-)
