A lot of companies monitor Facebook to spy on their employees, indeed many sign a social media policy contract. I wonder where all these tickets are coming from? They will sell for a derby with the usual kicking off in the stands as a result.

Is that a good idea really? The MEN are not going to do anyone any favours, and the OP does not know the full facts about this by the sounds. Would not be wise imo
I posted a response to this earlier.
I would ask who cares about favours especially when it comes to how fans are now being treated by the club. Constantly we hear about how people are being treated at the expense of revenue. Maybe the club needs to take heed.
I have mixed feelings myself on a lot that goes on. Mixed because we have seen a huge improvement in everything in the main but lately some things have pushed back.
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.
Robson the rag, I can just imagine the headline now.
So an update in relation to the reason for ban.
After City’s email offering people the chance to purchase 2 more tickets for the game he posted on HIS OWN facebook page asking if anyone fancied going as he can get two more tickets.. This has somehow and I don’t know how got back to City, maybe someone reported him I don’t know.
However the reasoning seems to be is that as he is offering tickets and not to a specific person he is contravening the rules as selling to a ‘third party’ In reality his nephew and his girlfriend took the tickets and paid face value, didn’t misbehave, didn’t get thrown out.
Meanwhile as of five minutes ago
Livefootballticket.com have 217 tickets for the derby available from £128.25 to £712.50 excluding their fees
Hotfootballtickets.com have numerous tickets on sale from £139 to £277
And that’s just on two sites I looked at. City though seem more interested in penalising the fans selling for face value or in a lot of cases less for games they can’t attend or in this case where they are offered more than attempting to stop this daylight robbery.
You have my sympathy because that is soo petty and spiteful by City. Smells like George Orwell's 1984, CCTV world, big brother is watching you.

Ridiculous. He's done everything City wanted him to do there. He's not put it on a group just asked his friends if anyone wants a ticket and helped shift two. What does it matter if it was him asking by text, word of mouth or by Facebook? If he gets banned from tomorrow you should enlist the help of the Football Supporters' Federation

Bit of a dumb thing to do to use FB for anything as the world can snoop, but I still don't know what he's actually done wrong.
If he'd sent a group text to all his 'friends' he'd have been according to the club 'as guilty'.
I don't think the original email we all had suggested that you must vouch/name the persons the tickets were for.

It really could be as simple as he/she set the post so everyone could view it, if that is the case then the club will, from their pov at least, have done the correct thing. Was the post public or set to friends only?

They shouldn't be snooping on fans...... just my opinion.
