FWIW, rules passed at the OSC AGM mean 70% or more of the members of a Branch have to live in the country where the Branch is.
Turning to the wider point. For years City struggled to fill away ends at some London grounds. The Saturday we beat Chelsea 3 nil with KDB scoring the goals there were a row of Chinese tourists in front of me. I think they were just in London on holiday and weren’t part of any fans group. I don’t think we had taken up our full allocation. It’s a big improvement now that we could consistently fill these ends with genuine Blues, particularly when the ticket allocation is right.
