@RetroMCFC The atmosphere was incredible. It was also my final game after 14 years working for the Club. My leaving do was equally memorable after the game we took over the top tier of the Kippax. An emotional and unforgettable night 🩵

right, suspicions confirmed this morning after the short-lived joy of City's price freezes just 4 days ago: the Club are emailing seasonticket holders today and forcibly downgrading them to "flexi seasontickets", despite widely acknowledging they'd cocked up ticket transfers!

@LancsCCMG Arguably the majority of Red Rose supporters are not Members, but will be equally upset at the Board’s behaviour. On their behalf, Members must do the right thing for everyone who loves the Club and hold the Board to account - whatever it takes!🌹

@LancsCCMG What seems wrong to me is that they are giving free access to the very people who are already interested/most likely to attend games (ie Members) yet charging the “floating voters” (ie most likely to grow an interest in the game) to watch?! Someone please explain the logic!!

@Durbs1976 @lancscricket Geoff, unfortunately, DG and his lot could not care less about the club or the members. He cares about himself. He loves the fact his power grows, with the dwindling numbers of members (me included), it becomes less of a members club, with the members voices reduced.

@Danebankblue @SpibySalford It was Peter Young pal, he’s been doing that for LCCC for years! Although I get the similarity with Jack! Great afternoon with some great mates👍🩵

@GarethHudson8 @BumbleCricket @lancscricket I would question how can a CEO not be vulnerable in any organisation where all the key stakeholders effectively have no confidence in them or the Board?! The fallout from the disastrous SGM will undoubtedly have consequences, no change is not an option surely?

@Durbs1976 @BumbleCricket @lancscricket I’m afraid you won’t get rid of DG now he’s got a foot in both camps , the debt’s being paid down and there’s more cash to come . He has too much to lose personally . The time when he was vulnerable was 18 months ago when the financial position was shaky .

@mcfc9320group @henrywinter @bphillpotts @citymattersreps You mean the shortlist was handpicked? I remember voting for my rep unless I am finally losing it! And irrespective of that my point remains to question their commitment/loyalty and accuse them of self interest is unfair unless you know them individually?

Manchester City fans have formed an independent supporters’ trust – “a missing link in the chain between the club and its fans”. The Citizens Trust will voice fans' views to the club and campaign on “ticket prices, unnecessary restrictions on how season cards can be used, accessibility, fixture scheduling, terms and conditions and more”. TCT becomes the latest independent supporters’ trust in English football. “The lack of a supporters’ trust at City has long been a missing link in the chain between the Club and its fans,” says TCT interim chair Nick Clarke. “Now our fans have an opportunity to build a strong, collective voice to reinforce that link. "Supporters across the country feel increasingly disconnected from the modern game, often feeling powerless in relation to decisions impacting both their clubs and traditions they’ve built over generations - Blues are no different. This is our chance to begin reversing that trend at City in a really positive way.” Tom Greatrex, chair of the Football Supporters' Association, noted that City fans “have been a strong campaigning force on various important issues such as ticket prices and facial recognition technology in recent seasons” and added, “The trust will provide a democratic, inclusive, powerful voice for the club's fans and we'd encourage all supporters to get involved as members”. TCT will also seek to celebrate “the history, heritage and traditions” of the club “to ensure future generations of Blues can support and access the club as we have in the past”. TCT will also work to “improve the lives of Trust members outside of football through events, health and well-being schemes”. An interim board has been established of nine match-going City supporters “from a variety of backgrounds, but all with experience of effective, not-for-profit groups”. Elections will be held.

@henrywinter @bphillpotts We have @citymattersreps who should be the link from fans to the club but they don’t care less either about the fans and are only members of that group for egos. The club have never been this distant from the fans

Well , after over 4 months finally got to put my side of the story across to the Police over the incident at the Leeds game. Hopefully common sense prevails. We will see. Loads of discrepancies in the stewards statement and ours. Yet CCTV footage backs up our story of the events. Fingers crossed.

I have already started to drop into that mindset Geoff. I never thought I could fall out of love with my team. The things both good and bad that I have been through and witnessed with “MY” club, and yes I see it as My Club always have through think and thin. I always thought I was part of something. Yet slowly I feel distant. The way the Club and OSC have treated Me and my mate is nothing but disgraceful and the final nail in the coffin. I upsets Me it really does.

@mcfc9320group @prestigecar_rep “They” are NOT the club mate like I said never have been never will be. It’s a liberating mindset once you accept it believe me 🩵

@Durbs1976 @prestigecar_rep I don’t care anymore mate. My 2 season tickets I’ve had for god knows how many years are back with them because of the way they treat the fans. I love my team but I hate my club.
