It's the normal welcome for a new user
That's fair enough Dan
But surely you can see why it would grate - an ill informed article, put together with childish red circles in crayon, intended to perpetuate the myth of our lack of support. It was inaccurate and misleading. This is supposed to be our local paper, it came across as though it was written by a Utd fanzine editor so it shouldn't come as any surprise that a forum such as BM might find it offensive.hmitchell said:Prestwich_Blue said:When MP's speak in a parliamentary debate, they have to declare if they have a vested interest in the subject.

No. I am proud to be a Man City supporter since 1979 when I sat in the Platt Lane, saw Dalglish score two goals in a 4-0 drubbing and that was it, I was a blue. Is that a vested interest? I have followed bluemoon from time to time and there is some great stuff here but I just couldn't believe how mad people were getting about a story in a paper everyone on the site says they never read. I just think such anger is unhealthy and demeans us and the club.
I feel suitably demeaned.hmitchell said:I just think such anger is unhealthy and demeans us and the club.
You quite sure about that?hmitchell said:Prestwich_Blue said:When MP's speak in a parliamentary debate, they have to declare if they have a vested interest in the subject. Do you have a vested interest by any chance?hmitchell said:If you don't like the MEN (no I don't work for it...
No.

Nope, just a Blue with 33 years as a season ticket holder. And not so easily offended as many fellow supporters. If you don't like the MEN (no I don't work for it and don't read it), then just ignore it. But stop getting so stressed about it. It just makes us all look like swivel eyed loonies and not the supporters of the best club in Europe.

Because the "debate" was predicated on a lie.Bluster said:Well, i happen to agree with hmitchell. It really isn't that big a deal.
Journalists are paid to write provocative pieces and get people reading and debating their stories. This forum debates whether we have a big enough fanbase for the extra seats so why can't the MEN? I also think the empty seats are partially relevant, as if there was a burning demand for seats those who couldn't make the game would be able to sell their tickets on more easily.
I wasn't at York nor wrexham and accept that may call my provenance into question.

No, your shite post that doesn't deal with the reason why many blues were genuinely put out May call your provenance into question.Bluster said:Well, i happen to agree with hmitchell. It really isn't that big a deal.

I can deal with provocative pieces but they should have a basis in fact. We know we've got enough to at least expand one of the stands as we have 5,000 people on the waiting list. We weren't talking about whole areas of empty seats; there were a few and you could see people in the aisles going to and from those seats.Bluster said:Well, i happen to agree with hmitchell.
