Protest number 2. So glad that there are groups of City supporters working together on this. People power can still win. #stopexploitingloyalty

Yesterday @mancity.com partnered with ticket agency @viagogo.bsky.social who regularly breach regulations & rip off fans.
They're the 9th official ticket partner so we,
1894 Group + @tradeunionblues.bsky.social ask fans to act and stay on the concourse for the first 9mins vs Leicester on Weds 💰🚫

I recognise the irony of someone like me, who sits in corporate every week, getting behind this, but I love to hear The South Stand in full voice and don’t want it to stop. Big Steve nails the problems here. Speaking from the heart. Hats off to him 👏🏻
I hope the club listens.

Latest update from City Matters regarding their discussions with the club (or lack thereof) regarding season ticket pricing.
The club's unwillingness to engage with fans is a complete and utter farce.

No fanbase gets told they’re supporting their team wrong more than City’s. God forbid they have a bit of fun in the knowledge that they’re crap this season.

There are many things we'd like to talk about when we can, but we particularly wanted to say that we were very proud to back Sarah Keig from @fulhamlillies.bsky.social on their very topical work around violence against women & girls in the PL and how that is dealt with ✊
