FWIW, I did see a Chinese girl walk past the half and half sellers and ask a fan support person where the Club Store was so she could buy an official scarf.

I'm not against anyone buying snide stuff mate, in fact I actively condone it :) But that Chinese girl (She could actually have been born in Clayton and is masquerading as Chinese and is a fake). :)

What is perplexing me and others is why the club and police turn a blind eye when it's right in front of them?

To be fair, there’s a lot of collective unity between fan groups across the league and the advice, info, etc, that they’re sharing with each other has been key to several groups getting concessions from their respective clubs.

I'm sorry if what I said has come across in a negative way about anything the fan groups do, that wasn't my intention. I fully back the groups doing this and I get involved where I can but for something to happen on the scale that would make real and lasting change across the board then it would need to be a collective effort.

Imagine the opening weekend of a premier league season if all season ticket holders didn't attend or even if all the season ticket holders stayed on the concourse till the 10th minute. Imagine the message that would send to owners, chairman and the league about how us fans feel about whats happening.

As I walked in under the Nexen bridge I noticed that the traders were selling normal City scarfs but then at the end, the last trader in the best spot was selling what he called match-day scarfs which were the usual half-and-half scarfs. And he was getting buyers from families too. City are not on the ball with the merchandising. I am not sure if they can control who sells what but if they can't control them they should put their own mobile sales teams in the best places and sell City scarfs only.

tbh I can't blame them. Football is tribal and the rivalries is part of what makes it great.

I can't even blame fans for choosing not to miss games or stay on the concourse. Fans are having to make more and more sacrifices to attend games so when they can its a lot to ask for them to not actually watch the match. Full credit to everyone getting involved in whatever way and those of us who stayed on the concourse

It doesn't mean that an effort can't be made to move them on away from the ground, it's not like the Police aren't already there is it?

Open up a snide hotdog stand or an unlicensed one and see how far you get with that :)

they get freebies off their ex clubs. they wouldn't care or spend money.
 
Within 5 mins of the Talksport discussion Jordan and Murphy are asking about us being plastic supporters whilst slagging Pep for his comments.

None of the City callers got points across - or explained the cause of empty seats - which allowed Murphy to spout nonsense about not seeing this at the ‘big clubs’.

All of course to be continued on Sunday when we will be laughed at by the country for thousands of empty seats at Wembley.

Yet another PR car crash by the whoppers running City.

A fantastic result and amazing end to last nights game yet the narrative is our plastic supporters.

Some whoopers by the City fans phoning up too. The guy Nick seemed a good Blue and I can understand he can’t go to the game through injuries. His son can’t travel from London so often but his explanation that his second son couldn’t use his season card because of accounting exams was a bit bizarre. That’s 3 season cards that are rarely getting used by the sound of things.

It was great when we were winning everything and seats flew off the Ticket Exchange like Hot cakes. We are in a different world now with tickets not shifting.

Wonder how many of them were at the FA Cup game at villa Park only 9 years ago when 23,636 crowd turned up including 5/6 thousand City fans.
Strange fan base, always seem to think they're bigger than they actually are.
 
My mate put his 2 tickets up on the exchange for the game yesterday near the front of SSL3.

They were sold on StubHub for £100 each. Thy were City fans sat in the seats this time unlike v Everton earlier this season.
