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:
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?
The reason I believe we need to organise some kind of protest is that the 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?
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
