Thanks for filling Wembley....you're banned!

I would encourage anyone who's been banned or got in trouble at the football to get in touch with Amanda Jacks at the Football Supporters Federation. (On twitter her handle is FSFFairCop).

Always seek free, independent legal advice if you're arrested (should be available at any police station).

OP - get the person banned to explain their situation to her (and do give her the full honest truth). She will advise them as best she can.

Sound advice M33.

Yes I understand the reasoning behind it but in law it is hardly a police matter, although I am forgetting as football fans a whole different set of laws apply to us that are apart from the rest of society. What happens if you give your card to a mate prior to going for a smoke and have no other identification on you I wonder?

Bill it is totally unrelated to touting. I will say once again the tickets were not sold on the tickets were used by the guys they were for, they were seen in the stadium during and after the game.
Not sure even if people wanted to tout they'd of had much success given the easy availability of tickets.
I just don't get why city can't just say in writing in the letter what it is you are allegedly accused of.
The letter they send tells you nothing and you have to waste time because your first response has to be what have I done.
With the derby a couple of days away it is a race against time to get it resolved not helped by city's lazy initial response.
My point however remains in that even if that person sold it for a grand/invaded the pitch/punched a steward why should you be held responsible when it is not your actual seat but simply an extra seat you purchased for others with the full blessing of city.
The reason city ban you for issues at the etihad is because its your seat and the likelihood is until proven otherwise it is you in that seat however here quite clearly its not as the buyer already had their seat as the club know cos their records show that

never thought it was Paul. I am saying this may be a move by the club to curb whores.

Have your mates/contacts confirmed that they did nothing whilst in the stadium ?

Posted this on twitter. James Robson has just sent a message asking for details.

The MEN is interested. Maybe the op contacts them. Give the story. It might get the club a bashing but reading this thread it might be about time fans had a say.

I think finding out what has caused it should be done before letting the MEN create a story. That won't help the bloke with the suspended seasoncard at all.
 
Why not post on twitter. It's more or the less the same as here. Actually it is better as it might get a reaction. As has possibly as robson is interested.

City might read this site but they not arsed really. FB or Twitter carry more weight.

I not detailed anything other than a fan banned for getting another ticket. It's the journos responsibility to investigate further.

If I out of line according to the OP I apologise. Everyone else can kiss my lily white arse. ;)

I actually agree. The club won't meet with the fan's anymore to discuss anything instead send out bland questionnaires. They are coming across as autocratic and creating a them V us attitude. Someone in the club needs to wake up and get a grip before it is too late.
