Istanbul CL Final chaos | City Matters statement (p 133)

Just heading back from Stadium Australia having watched the Australian Women’s Team knock out the Danish.
Took all of 10 minutes from leaving the 75784 crowd to getting into the bus queue and another 5 to get on the bus back into Sydney town centre.
Lighting everywhere, loads of stewards, all clued up , shouting out where the buses are going, where to queue up along low level fencing, level solid concrete surfacing, counting how many people got on, sending the buses straight off in dedicated lanes once they are full, and then dealing with the next set of supporters in the queue.
No chaos no carnage no leaving the most vulnerable to their own devices.

That UEFA is how you organise a safe and secure exit from a major sporting event so maybe take some lessons from the way the Aussies organise this stuff and stop telling us you will learn lessons from your own corrupt inept self serving pious and impotent set of numpties.

Alas Turkey definitely ain't Australia, Turkey and organisation don't happen.:-(
 
When do we expect to get a reaction from UEFA or City to this report? Where is it being considered?

We'll get s reaction in Athens when after the final whistle City fans will be held behind until the car/bus park is cleared thus we will be able leave the Stadium without any fuss!

The thing is , that is exactly what we should expect. As far as I’m concerned is nothing to do with the hosting country. Accountability for what happened in Istanbul lies solely with UEFA. They MUST have known that the travel infrastructure to and from the Ataturk stadium was not fit for purpose. I still can’t get my head round nothing being done about the way we were treated getting to and from that game. It was utterly inhumane.
 
Alex I have just read this report fully. I don’t know what you do for a job, but the content and organisation of this document is stunning; I dread to think how long it took you to produce this, it is brilliant.

The fact that you had to do this, presumably unpaid, and we have thousands of paid employees (some of them VERY highly paid) is frankly disgusting. I regularly hear what a great bloke Danny Wilson is but where is the report from him and his team? There hasn’t even been any real acknowledgment from our club of any of the huge issues faced by over 20k Blues. Disgusting. Also has Kevin Parker produced any kind of proper response from the OSC?

I hope you send this report to all the MP’s in the Greater Manchester area and I hope at least one of these raises our issues in Parliament and in the media.

This document Alex is the single best and most professional thing I have ever seen on Bluemoon and you have my total respect.
Agree - fact without emotion... good piece of work
