Roll call for 9 minute protest

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

Looking at the videos and the amount of people drinking during the protest the club probably made more money than if there was no protest

Amongst other things, what tonight has demonstrated is the power of social media to get the message out and to unite the fans.

I had 1 pint, so the club didn’t make anymore money from me than they normally do.

You have to factor in what you saw against people who didn’t buy anything, and the 1000’s of unsold seats.

It isn’t a win for the club.

 

[calumdown]

don't know if it has been mentioned already,
but it was spoken about live on the american stream i watched,
so it definitely had an impact.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Could I ask - if the club don’t do anything, what’s most likely to happen? Would a total boycott happen, or would it not if season ticket holders could lose them

 

[ArniArason]

If the scabs in the stands are upset with the blues who are actually being proactive and trying to help them out - then they're even more embarrassing that I originally thought!

Meh
The us and them attitude never solved anything

 

[I'm not really here]

That was great. If we don't like what was said after tomorrows meeting, hope we go again at palace.

why reply to an ignoramus ?

I've heard that the club are monitoring every empty seat at kick off and fans will have there ticket put on viagogo for the Palace game..

joking apart I thought it was a great turn out on the protest and to come in singing on the 9th min made it even better

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

A pointless protest according to some on here.

The club really doesn't need fans like you. Moaning gits with short memories. It's people like Soriano that have taken this club from a financial circus to one of the best ran organisations in the world. Fans wanted the trophies, collectively they gave us the trophies. Now the trophies have been won, the same fans want their heads. Talk about fickle.

Boot kicker mentality, give your head a wobble

Yes, fucking wankers. I hope they don't start crying when they can't afford a ticket, or no matter how many loyalty points they have the club decide to put the tickets on sale to anyone with a membership and they're on viagogo at £100+ a ticket. In a strike they'd be fucking scabs.

 

[cityutopia]

Tennis balls for the palace game?

 

[fathellensbellend]

Fantastic effort, more of the same until they get back in the real world

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Much better observed than I thought it would be in 121. Basically every familiar face from the block stuck around. Undeniable strength of feeling, picked up by the national press.

Was looking forward to this tonight but my son all of a sudden came down with the dreaded sickness bug about 4pm! Couldn't give the tickets away for love nor money so couple of empty seats unfortunately.

Well done to all involved. It came across very clearly on tv and as somebody mentioned got a few remarks on commentary on our stream.

Ball now in City's court. Let's see what this week brings.

It was observed by the South Stand but most people went in at the East Stand. I waited outside Entrance E but went in when I heard Grealish scored because it takes 5 minutes just to get up the spirals.

If there is another protest, I hope the focus is about ticket prices.

The atmosphere was rubbish as usual, and there were no tourists there but at least we won comfortably.

Marvin, the protest was on the concourse for the first 9 minutes, not outside the ground.

So what you're saying is that you're not going to join a protest that will benefit you because you think it might not work?
So?
What are you losing out on here? This is Pascal's wager in the simplest form. There is not only no benefit to you in refusing to participate but your refusal actively hurts the cause.
And what if you're wrong? What if actually it would have made a difference but you just didnt bother?
It's 9 minutes. Nobody is asking you to donate your house here, they (and when I say they I mean every single Manchester City fan group from the 1894 to the Foodbank to the Disabled Association) are asking you to be leisurely when going to your seat.

And how is this "badly organised"

Here it is on the back page of the country's most circulated paid newspaper before it has even happened

Here it is as a story on the country's largest sports channel



Recently @Tim of the Oak said that in his opinion, the club won't ever address the ticketing issues because despite the groups and associations raising them as a concern, ultimately they know that a lot of fans don't give a shit and won't bother to protest.

I think he's wrong but your excuses aren't exactly filling me with hope.

SSN - 1984 Group!! Not sure it was that significant a year for us
