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

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Surely it's time for all CM reps to consider if they want to be part of this window dressing exercise by the club? What has CM ever achieved for supporters as I'm struggling to see any positive outcomes.

The issue is, uefa would have considered it a success after the behaviour of the feral Scouse cunts from the year before

If it was not for CM and the work they put in the issues in Istanbul would have been swept under the carpet. They are the ones who have collated the evidence, written the report and continue to put pressure on City to issue a public statement.

The failing is not with CM but our club.

Still the best night of my life, even though I paid a fiver for a bottle of water and sat on a bus for 2 hours each way.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

My opinion has never changed from the moment I finally felt safe and comfortable, roughly 3 hours after the Final Whistle.

Istanbul is a lovely city, but it should never have been awarded an event so prestigious as the CL Final.

That was entirely the fault of UEFA, and the success or failure of the CITY MATTERS Report will depend entirely on whether it affects the criteria for choosing the next venues

Wembley, Berlin and Munich are fine, but if we're talking about crowd safety (would we really want to play in Rome against an Italian team?) or proper infrastructure (Paris couldn't cope in 2022) then there really aren't that many others.

Look no further than Tottenham next Friday.

Fantastic state-of-the-art stadium with third world traffic congestion after the game.

 

[Corky]

The main thing is choosing a venue that gets capacity crowds on a regular basis and has a good record of coping.

Not a stadium which sells out every 20 years and there are locals looking to rip off the fans as much as possible, in a location 20 miles away from the hub of the city it is supposed to serve.

Still the best night of my life, even though I paid a fiver for a bottle of water and sat on a bus for 2 hours each way.

Two hours? Wow you were one of the lucky ones. I agree though it was fabulous to be there. But the way we were treated was utterly dreadful. Shame City won't fight this for us.

Don't see the Daily Fail,reporting any of the above,sadly probably needed someone to die,to bring about change

 

[RACHACE]

I'm sad on the lack of comment from the club but I can't say I'm surprised.

It'd take serious injury or even death for any fan complaints to be acknowledged by those in the comfy seats.

The vast majority of the blues who'd have been most affected by the nonsense after the game would have been long standing blues too. People on their 60's+. Pretty disgraceful really.

It’s a good job we won
