Protest?

Football as we know it is dying, nothing we can do about it. Do you really think they don't know they are pricing us out? That's what they want

Always remember … the club don’t want us … they can sell our tickets to “ Tourist” who will pay vast amounts of money for our seats, spend money in the shop, buy crap food and drink in the stadium , wear half and half scarfs and sit there taking selfies through out … this is the future … on top of that they will use public transport so no street parking .. happy days for the club

Before I start, I want to say that on the field this has been the best few years I've witnessed as a blue. But off the field, I'm finding myself feeling angrier and angrier at the decisions being made by the club.

Recently we've seen:
  • Ticket Prices that completely price out our core support
  • More expensive Season Tickets than ever before
  • Far too many away tickets are being siphoned away from the loyalty points scheme
  • Home tickets for big games are being sold via Hospitality Packages and Third Party Websites, with very few being made available to Matchday members
  • Plans to put "Premium Seating" in the new north stand, despite constant calls from WeAre1894 and City Matters NOT to do this
  • Failure to acknowledge, let alone condemn, the trouble that our own fans faced in Istanbul

Not only are all of these a betrayal of the very supporters who've supported this club through thick and thin, but show a clear lack of long-term business understanding. Which tells me that our current business strategy is to make as much money as possible right now, and then 10 years from now it'll be someone else's problem anyway so who cares right?

club simply won't listen unless we make a fuss. They've proven time and time again that they won't listen to City Matters, and as individuals, we have absolutely no voice. If we make a fuss and the Media catch on, then we could finally start to see some change for the better.

Just a suggestion, would be interested to hear how others feel?

I'm not out priced mate but can't go for health reasons but, If I could I would no matter what the price you are coming from a point where you are emotionally involved.
The people who set the prices are coming from a business angle and are simply offering "the right to treat option" you don't have to buy, they don't have to sell to you or anyone they don't want to.
If you can't afford it they will sell to whoever will buy and sadly a lot of the times that is ticket touting companies because it's there job to do so.
They will not listen and it will give ammunition to the Media scum,we don't need protests against our club at a time when we the fans are the only ones who will celebrate when we are found not guilty of the charges.

Some of our fans are fucking terrified of us being shit again. And because of that, they won't have a bad word said about the club incase the ownership decides to up and leave.

Any talk of an independent supporters trust has been shouted down because of this. We have a massively divided fanbase on issues which means that proper protests will never be a success.

I'll say a bad word about how our club is run.
It's a joke.
Real supporters are more of a hindrance to the club .
Feels like we're not welcome anymore.
Yes what's happened on the pitch has been far more than anyone could ever imagine.
But at what cost.
City used to be the be all and end all for me.
My one true love.
One constant in my life that will never leave me.
Sorry but that's gone .
Thanks city but if this is the price of success I'd rather be shit again.
 
After a lifetime religiously buying match programmes, this season I decided to stop. No longer worth the money IMHO as its generally full of stuff that I already know, or is of little interest to me. Its now occurred to me that the effect of that has in reality reduced the cost of my FOC season ticket back to what it was about 4 yrs ago. Unfortunately since I now spend nothing at all in the campus I'm well and truly an unwanted legacy fan. :-(
 
So will you protest about this?

No lets protest about paying to watch the best team in the world play football live rather than watch on TV.
 
Regardless if City win any trophies or not this season, I won't be watching Khaldoon's PR end of season videos.

From recollection, not once has Khaldoon mentioned season ticket and match day price increases for 11 consecutive seasons, no new season ticket sales, lapsed season tickets which were once made available again to other fans being turned into match day ticket sales, pricing fans out of matches with expensive match day tickets, disappearing away tickets, making away tickets harder and harder to get, away tickets ending up on ticket resale websites, the club not engaging with the fans, instead using City Matters via meetings every 3 months, the club generally not giving a fuck about the fans, dismissing our concerns and grevencies, and doing nothing more than paying us lip service if and when they feel like it, trying to replace Legacy fans with new fans, tourists and day trippers because they will spend more money on a match day.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak has apologised if Manchester City fans have been overlooked by the club

City's chairman hinted that the core of the fanbase may have been forgotten at points as bosses have gone about targeting global expansion and appealing to new fans.

"Our club is going to go places successfully," he said in his end-of-season review. "I have no doubt about that.

"But we are not going to be completely successful if we don't have our fans and community with us hand in hand fully committed to us.

"That is a relationship that is organic with this club. This club have a very special fanbase.

"What we must not do is to forget our core. That is a challenge. It's not easy.

No, with all due respect, fuck off and stop trying to cause a mutiny
