Protest?

[Chappie]

We're the perfect target... too many people who are completely against critiquing the club in any way.

Constant price rises (whilst making an £80m profit) are unnecessary and show how little the club cares for its legacy fans. City gets a hell of a lot wrong when it comes to fan engagement, and one day, the chickens will come home to roost.

Pep and Haaland won't be here forever... and neither will a lot of us legacy fans if we continue down this path.

There were managers and players here before Pep and Erling and there will be after.
And us legacy fans will be replaced with a new breed, irrespective of which path the club travel down.
The problem we have now is that the club want to replace us with daytrippers who will not only pay more for a match ticket but will fill the hotels and visit the club shop.
It will take them a decade or 2,to shift us,but that is their ultimate goal.
As long as they are successful on the pitch they will achieve it.

Someone should make a joke about how this happens anyway.

I'll pop into the kitchen and make myself a brew on 80 minutes if we are comfortably winning :)

It would be useful and interesting if posters would put their season ticket seat no’s on their posts.

That's a novel way of getting me on your family and friends list so you can nick my United away ticket you sly old fox,Mr Burton.

Doesn't this happen every game?

This is the crux of the issue.

I wonder if the poster was serious or not?

From every football clubs points of view.
Nobody is a fan anymore just a customer. No way anything is going to change anytime soon. CTID

Why is it embarrassing? Liverpool fans did something similar at home to Sunderland in 2016 in protest at the proposed ticket prices for their renovated Main Stand. It led to a climbdown from their owners just 2 days later.

Any thoughts on this ?

Re the season ticket prices to show fans are the lifeblood of the game / the club

Think its been 10 years or so a rise each year

Also issues over matchday prices membership prices away allocations hassling fans to sell tickets back to club so they can resell to tourists as a package

£80m profit. Price rises don’t wash. They want to have more matchday revenue than the others in the big 6. Chelsea Arsenal Spurs all affulent fan bases. Utd and Lpool international fan bases. Say Arsenal charge £1k a ticket City want to charge £1,005? But wages/london waiting means our prices and therefore match day revenue should never be more than Arsenal.

When quality on pitch drops after Pep leaves - will the prices drop too ? No.

So fight it now. If your seat has only gone up 3% someone else will have gone up 12%

Divide an conquer, I don’t know what the fuss is about, mine has only gone up £2 a game.

Not the point- it’s every year and next year you’ll be the 12%

Notice they don’t give everyone the same % rise at the same time as that means all fans turn on them at same time.

Arsenal and Villa are six pointers. Luton should look after itself. If 20,000 walk out on 80 minutes- with hopefully game won - it can make a statement. Media carries it and makes City have to give explanations.

Thoughts please Blues ?
