So we have given the lying barstewards at MUEN exactly what they hoped the article would achieve, a "passionate response".
We should have just ignored it and treated it with the contempt it deserved.
Hopefully we will not fall for this trick again as City fans will no longer be reading this rag or looking at it on-line.

I am aiming to quit this thread after this post, as we are acting on concerns - all will become evident in due course.
But one final point, in answer to several posters - City were made aware of this article yesterday, as I called to check if there were any particular concerns about empty seats, or any possible explanations.
I explained what had gone on, and they were unconcerned about the article, and no-one at the club has come back to me, or to the MEN, with any form of complaint.
So talk of us being booted out by City, or punished in some other way are fantasy, I'm afraid.
I do understand the upset from some fans, but think a sense of perspective is needed here.

Right men , just for clarity.

Are we mounting a "Sun" type boycott (ala the Mickey's) on blue moon (although the subject matter is poles apart).

or

do we just carry on regardless.

I will go with the majority

That's even worse in the printed addition becasue they haven't included the 'proof' i.e. the childishly scribbled on pictures showing the empty seats....... and the people walking up and down the isles going to and from them FFS!

We live in an era now where most news is found out way before local papers like the MEN even manage to write it.

I guess their just doing what they can to stay afloat and make some money. If they can't get people to read their 'stories' then they don't make any money.

Lets be honest your more likely to get more views on a negative story than on a positive story. Look at Talksport their in the same boat.

I didn't buy it anyway but I used to read it online. They won't be getting any more clicks from me in the future.

boycott, its shite anyway, not like I'll have to give up much.

So that makes it OK then?

What about the fans Stuart? It isn't always about the club. I'm sure the club may not give you that reply next time, after they've seen the reaction and backladh from the fans.

BTW.

Do me a favour. Send this on to Lynch, Spencer, and the car crash team at the MUEN.

Ask them to do an article about 30,000+ empty seats at OT this season. And tell Lynch to draw a big f*** off circle around those empty seats

Boycott!... Pitchforks!... Burn the MEN!

Oh dear!

It's made it into today's MUEN Newspaper.

Read it again in black and white. F***ing disgrace.

They, the people who run the MUEN, aren't listening and don't give a shit!( Sorry, but it's true Stuart)

JRB, where did you get that copy from ?
