Roll call for 9 minute protest

Not just at City fans are getting grief. Leeds, who you wouldn't think would get that many tourists given their recent history, are trying to get rid of loyal fans too.

City Matter went on strike before the mmeting, I'm presuming if they felt no progress was made they would have again.

They should keep up the pressure while the fans have given them some momentum. Refuse to discuss anything else on the agenda until this is sorted and 1894 should increase the length of the protest at each game until it's done.

None of this "the club said they would look at it and get back to us shortly" bullshit. It's probably just stalling anyway.

Their season ticket prices for next season, whether they get promoted or not, are creeping up to our levels and more expensive than Liverpool’s. They’ve put prices up 15%.

Wholesale action across the country is needed: not taking seats at the start of games; second half walkouts; full boycotts… country-wide action in the same weekend will make a huge impact.

I agree unless supporters get together we're fucked. It's a totally bizarre approach by clubs and it's now obvious as every club seems to be doing it ( Barring Bradford) that it's a planned strategy.

It definitely feels like they're all in cahoots (apart from the odd exception - Bradford as you mention, Brentford too) behind the scenes to piss off fans as much as possible. I can picture it now: "Right Fulham - it's your turn next week to come up with something outrageous that winds the fans up!"

Judging by their prices I think they've already done it.

When is the club next meeting with the supporters reps and how long do we feel they are going to stretch these discussions out

The next meeting with City Matters is this Thursday. We have heard nothing from the club and very little from CM since their first meeting last Thursday. Fair play to @Alex - City Matters though for publicly releasing his opening remarks from that meeting, reckon he's spot on with everything here:



But it is incredibly frustrating that we don't have a clue what to expect, what was discussed, or if we're getting any minutes. This isn't CM's fault of course, just another example of the lack of transparency that is a feature of our club's style of "fan engagement".

I saw this fairly detailed post from one of the foodbank lads about that, which was quite interesting:



As it stands, there is no fan action planned for Palace, I imagine because everyone is waiting to hear what happens at this Thursday's meeting. Obviously this only plays into the club's hands, so I hope we hear something (something positive!) on Thursday ASAP. If not, I bet the anger of supporters will only grow, especially as it will feel for all those thousands of people who took part vs Leicester that they're being ignored, yet again.

The amount of people that took part on Wednesday, was bigger than anyone thought it would be. And you can't just put that down to people who didn't have a clue what was going on, I saw loads of flyers on the concourse and the fact that people were chanting "stick your viagogo up your arse" and "we want our city back" (obviously referencing the community feel it used to have, not the shite performances!) makes me think that way more people were clued up on it than would have you believe.

I'd definitely be up for another one of these 9min concourse waits before the end of the season, to hammer home the point if City don't listen.. I bloody hope they do though.

Very good points. I agree that the Thursday meeting doesn't give us much turnaround time to Saturday lunchtime if the outcome of the meeting is a negative one, warranting further action. Perhaps a deliberate ploy by the club to leave it as late as possible before the Palace game? That said, the support for the protest at the Leicester game was very impressive and that was organised at quite short notice. Not as short as the 24 or so hours that we're likely to have if we need to plan something for Palace but I suppose now that the fans are aware of what's going on, it might not need too much notice to get something organised.

We know the media can be cunts about our club but they've been a hugely powerful tool for us in all this, and half the battle is getting the word out there and flooding the media. On that score, we got far more national media attention for our Leicester protest than United fans did for their protest on Sunday and that was reflected in the numbers present at each one.

It's none of my business really, but a CP protest should be pre-arranged, imho. It can always be cancelled on Friday. It's easier than keep things going than start the, stop them, start them again.

And I really think CM need to put their foot down on the release of information, at least on these issue and in respect of the issues discussed and conclusions. Nobody needs all the details ....

I agree mate, whilst we have the interest and momentum from the Leicester protest we should be pre-prepared for a Palace protest.
