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

[Gone for a Burton]

Have City made any comments yet ?

IMO they are also complicit for not being aware and proactive afore the event and remaining incommunicado after it.

Is there summat oop ?

Where’s Bernard ?

Can't understand it why didn't they play it at Galatasari much nearer City centre. The equivalent would be Manchester hosting it but playing it at Salford rugby, sticking one set of fans on the unfinished trams and putting an inadequate bus service for the others, even then vastly nearer town. You can bet everyone would be screaming it should have been held at the Etihad or the swamp.

More like Manchester hosting it, but playing in Bolton

Of course they're aware. Unfortunately our loyalty never seems to be reciprocated. I'm big enough and ugly enough to look after myself but the way they haven't already called UEFA out on behalf of the more vulnerable members of our fanbase is shameful.

Because it only holds 52,000 and they always use a stadium that holds 70,000+

One of them felt you up…

Yeah if I had to pick who would sexually assault me on the Istanbul metro, a wrong un from Heaton Moor would have been way down the betting odds

Life’s full of surprises, mate!

Like others I'm disappointed in the club that there's been no comment on this yet. It really sends a signal that we're considered as serfs.

Bolton has excellent train links

Yeah there are rules around minimum size requirement for a Champions League Final. 60/70 thousand i think

It’s like Covid, how do you think City could have envisioned this shit show? I and my group of FOC’s got through it but don’t blame it on the club, it’s down to the UEFA wankers.
