I’m looking to set up an Official Supporters Club and was wondering if anyone could advise me on the process or share any tips.
Which area are you in Ryan. You need to be a certain distance from the next Branch. Something like 5 miles.
You need to demonstrate a certain number of members ready to sign up. It’s between a minimum of 20-40 I think. The OSC will be able to advise on all this.
You could advertise on here for members and Man City Face Value Tickets & Travel FB page for members.
If it’s just about away tickets there will never be enough. The strength of the OSC are really the Branches and how members help each other. I even managed to get one member a new washing machine from a garage clearance this year lol.
Sharing travel / camaraderie with fellow Blues is usually a key benefit. Some Branches also do fundraising for charity.
We have things like our own ticket exchange, obviously made more difficult by the recent ticket transfer changes.
Subs are taken and set at a level by the Branch. Half of our subs go to fund CITC, Maine Road FC via the OSC.
Best of luck.
Obviously, being part of the OSC gives people on here “the right” to have a few pot shots. No big deal. I’ve given the analogy before but it’s like being brought up in Manchester in the 70s and 80s. Low lifes would bully the Asian kids at school but not the black lads whose cousins were hard enough to give them a good hiding.
