Seat Counters - 2024/25

[Alex - City Matters]

Alex.

I’m not having a go at you mate, as I know you do your best for the fans.

That fact that you’ve already asked on a few occasions and not been given that information, and have to ask again, tells you and us everything we need to know.

City won’t release those away ticket % details because they don’t want to. The club know if they do, the away going fans, and fans who want away tickets, but can’t get them as they are getting harder to get, would be furious. And even if the club did tell you and the other CMR, it would come with another NDA.

The people running the club don’t want to share any information like that with the fans. It’s the clubs business model. That is how the club has been run for years. You only have to look at the deliberate lack of ticketing and seating information regarding the new North stand. Again, I’m not having a go at you and the other CMR, but you can’t tell us what you know because the club have slapped a NDA on you, and you are obliged to go along with it.

City is and has been run like a secretive company for a long time. Only telling the fans what they need to know and nothing more, as and when the club see’s fit to make that information avaialble to the fans. And even then the information is clearly heavily vetted before being made public.

You’re doing a great job sticking up for the fans and trying to get honest information and answers from the club, but the club is tying your hands and gagging you, as well as the other CMR.

The secretive way the club is being run has come from the very top, either Khaldoon or Soriano. It can’t be anyone else, bar both of them or either of them.

I don’t disagree with any of that pal. My term is up in six months anyway, so figure it best to fight the cause until then.

Sadly we’re going to lose our best CMR then, meaning the club will have an even easier time of keeping everything secret, and not engaging with the fans.

These decisions are being made way above his pay grade.

That being the case he may be able to point you in the right direction.

These issues must continue to be pushed to the highest and most appropriate level.

Amongst many others i received an email questionnaire which I feel was a reaction to the welter of criticism.

Some of the questions were definitely loaded to get to the bottom of the issues of ticket prices, allocations, away fan location.

I think they’ve been rattled !!

That’s a shame mate. There might be others, but it seems like your the only rep who’s sticking up for our fans.

Hopefully, if you’re up for it, you can continue to support our fans in some way as you’ve made a difference

I think you are quite aware who is above Danny's pay grade.
They are the ones making these decisions and are based entirely on making money for the club.

Couple that with losing Toddy of the last City matters committee.
Solid Citizens on Facebook seems to be the best outlet now,but unfortunately the club probably won't engage with them aswell.
Until all the various groups come together the club will do as they please

I don’t know too much about any of them, but we’ve got a season ticket rep who refused to sign the letter criticising the season ticket price increases because she was personally happy with hers.
That’s the level of representation we appear to have, especially now with Alex going.

 

[Chappie]

The club know they have to fans representatives as per the rules
They have fulfilled this,its not in the rules that they have to listen to them.
It's a box ticking exercise .

 

[Stephen230]

As it happens, I’ve asked for the bold on a fair few occasions. I have already informally done so again given recent occurrences at Anfield, but will do so more formally on the record.

Thanks for the reply. I admire your perseverance but it’s clearly not going to happen.

Just out of interest, what exactly was their reply when you asked them previously? Or did they just look out of the window and pretend they hadn’t heard you?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Credit to Alex for all he’s tried to do for fellow Blues. It’s clearly a difficult job and thanks for your best endeavours. Hopefully, the powers that be will listen over the next 6 months.
