MCFC - Cut Ties with Showsec NOW

[Breks]

So whats your problem? Seems a fair response.

My problem is that they are talking about complaints, yet everybody at the game behind me stands up. I'm not paying the same amount a year for my season card so I can sit down and they can stand up. And then a block over from me they are allowed to stand with any hassle.

As I said it cannot be one rule for one and another for others. Or it's going start causing more trouble like has been seen in some games over the years.

Also want to do is contribute to creating an atmosphere at the games and it's non existent at the moment at home. Do people not see that when the place is rocking the team plays better!!? The team doesn't want us being quiet, and it bloody bores me to death when we are.

I am not a trouble causer, this issue is the first discrepancy against myself, but now I feel that when I get to go back to games I will be being targeted and yet making my time at the game even more dreadful! And I definitely don't want to have to give up my seasoncard.

I have been informed today by fellow seasoncard holders on my row that my ticket was sold to another fan, this is something I accept as part of MCFC's T&C's

Now this is something that shocks me. How can the club, regardless of T&Cs, be allowed to sell on tickets that have been confiscated? As the attendance for games goes on 'tickets sold', and the ticket has already been paid for, then they are effectively double selling it, meaning they could get into trouble with the police if they over-sold too many.

Also, I think this is a terrible system, as it provides the club with a financial self-incentive to ban fans for longer, thus double-profiting from the ticket.

Has it ever occurred to you that the people behind you have to stand up to see past you and your mates? Just wondered...

Why im I allowed to stand freely in 110 where as the guys and girls 2 foot away from me are told to sit down when the mood suits. It does need to be addressed. They can’t just pick and choose the games to harass the fans like they do at the moment. It has to be an all or nothing approach. I would go mad if I was banned for 3 games while standing in 109 where as someone in the same seat to the side of me stood in 110 can do as they please. I don’t actually know how they are getting away with it to be honest.

Seems to me that the club are wanting to been seen to be following rules and guidelines by employing a security team with specific rules but also want the fans to stand to raise the atmosphere (against the rules) and dont mind a few fans getting banned. They cant ban all of them. Pretty poor show if thats the case. Its shit because as a fan if everyone around you is standing you virtually have no choice then youre running the risk of becoming the scape goat. Being City they really should consider an all standing area.

Your right there should be an all standing area for those who want to stand. But those people who insist on standing and have been banned, shouldn't complain because it's an all seater stadium with no designated standing area at the moment. I'm pretty sure it is only the bellends who get banned. However i do accept the stewards can be bellends also. The issue isn't worth getting banned over. The only loser is the fan who gets banned.

My old season ticket before I moved was in 239, which is the family stand, I was on the very back row with the corporate section above and behind me. However, I was once told to sit down by a steward and I was not blocking anyones view. My lad used to stand on his seat next to me which meant he never missed any of the action when people stood up to watch SWP rampaging down the wing.

Its either a rule or it isnt, they shouldn't be enforcing when it suits them or when they have had a row with the missus and decide to take it out on someone (because they can.)

[Blue Since 76]

If the fans in 109 think the club want you to sit in silence, why don't you try it for a game? All just sit there for the entire game eating sandwiches and see what the club does.

I suspect they'll desperately try and discuss atmosphere again, at which point they have a choice. At the moment they are pointing out the law - the stadium is all seater and you shouldn't be standing and if you do you'll be ejected. Unfortunately, they're only applying the law to a few people and probably the easy targets - I'd suggest most of the away support at the CL games should have been thrown out by now if you're clamping down on it.

[Sister of fu]

Has anyone asked City why the away fans have not been targeted?

Many years ago a bouncer twatted me on the way out off the Parkside pub,for not handing my bottle over quick enough,proper sucker punch to the lug hole from behind. it was on the evening we were playing Wigan in the play off Semi,Shaun Goater scored the winner,we won 1-0

The following week i went back in and went over to him the cunt who was sat at the bar, he didn't even recognize me.I got the urge to just twat him straight over the head with a chair, and sucker punch him like he did me, and then kick his fucking head in.Instead i asked him why he twatted me,i am a big lad and can look after myself,i am no shit house i would give a good account of myself regardless of the out come.Anyway he was caught of guard,started apologizing profusely,i don't think he wanted to know.I left it at that in the end.He could have got up if he had wanted too.I still see him on the door of the Manchester.

Point being i think all these door men are liberty takers,you face them face man to man on their own,they don't fancy it.He could have started a riot that night,instead he twatted me then shut the door and cowered from blues stood outside the Parkside.

Bullies.
