Aahhhhhh, just seen the advert for Hays at the bottom, now I know why a degree is required.
 
Re: New Membership Scheme: Missioncityzen

There was a member survey I remember, from a year back. It was about a membership scheme unrelated to season tickets, I seem to recall it got some pretty bad press on this forum, but one of the questions was what you'd call the scheme and "Cityzens" was an option (frankly, as I recall, the three options were little more than what the spelling of the word should be). I'm guessing this must be the fruition of that survey.

To my mind it's pretty clear that it's an attempt at copying the membership model of clubs like - surprise surprise - Barcelona as well as Real, Bayern and a number of other Spanish and German clubs, where you buy into the club and it gives you a small say in how the club is run. I don't remember most of the options but one thing that did interest me with that survey was that they raised the idea of voting on changes to the club badge, as well as suggesting that they might let fans pick the design of future kits.

Realistically, this is a job advert more than it is a fan competition. In any company in the country, for a membership sales role they would ask for a degree.

You should also piss in the sink that's by the bath full of ticket stubs, slap a shitbag on the train and startle viewers by letting off a banger.

You're welcome.
