I think it's part of the international world domination plan. Voting rights on stuff etc. Today's survey:

Dear John
We would like your help in answering a few questions about a new product that is being considered. Manchester City would like to find a way to let its fans worldwide feel part of a global community of supporters. To do this, we are planning to create a new membership programme that would really put you at the heart of the club.
To help us understand what you think, we have put together a survey, which will take you around 10 minutes to complete. We would really value your feedback. As a token of our appreciation, we've got a limited edition City watch to give away to one fan who completes the survey. Ten runners up will each receive a 2012/13 First Team squad postcard.
Click here to take the survey now.
Thank you for your support.

Yes I'm sure I'll be sticking with the Blue which, hopefully, will still be around. This seems a bit American, with the suggested name being 'CITYzens'. Sounds cringeworthy to me.

do they not know St Austell is in UK. Or have you moved?

I didn't feel like answering the survey after this very first question:



Seriously ??!#? Who creates these for the club?

there is some Zen and Kharma in the way we're slowly starting to dominate

the first question is probably a control question, designed to let those compiling data know whether to throw out that particular survey or not.

i got the same survey, and i live in the US and have purchased one thing off the City OS. i love City, but i could just as easily be the cousin of a City supporter who bought a gift for him, or more of a Barcelona supporter who really loves Yaya and just wanted to own a Yaya kit.

if the first question shows that i'm a barca supporter, there's no point in asking me if i'd be interested in joining a global membership - it's a waste of time.

Just did the survey - got the distinct impression that I'm not the sort of punter they were after. Hopefully they'll realise that I'm a tight arsed Mancunian, so clearly not who they were aiming at.

'How much extra would I like to pay for my loyalty to be rewarded' - I sat through Pearce's bloody team, how much more do you want me to pay?

Yeah I'm pretty much the same. Going to the game and Beer is all I want. January to August without scoring at home and witnessing every minute is evidence of my loyalty and that cost significantly more than CITYzens *vomit* membership will cost.

Ive answered enough of these bollocks surveys.

All i want is a beer,reasonable tasting/priced food and a cheap as possible seasoncard.

NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

I think you've already got it. Don't you? I had a tasty pie and a beer on my last visit and it had improved since the last match I had seen 2 seasons prior.

If it's not broke dont fix it then.

The club are trying to fleece as much as they can from the likes of me.
