Statement on Britain First's planned march through Manchester this Saturday
"When everything's changing around you, even becoming a mother, it's that one thing I know - I can go to the game, I can see my mates, watch some football,
"It shouldn't be this hard and it feels like pushing us further and further away.

2 motions brought by us and @mcfcfoodbank.bsky.social both passed with some debate. We move forward ➡️
Attending our 1st @WeAreTheFSA AGM with comrades from @WeAre1894 & @mcfcfoodbank.bsky.social
MATCHDAY TICKETING STATEMENT
1️⃣ A welcome change in direction from club management
2⃣ A move towards affordable pricing
3️⃣ Another victory for fan power - at City & nationally
4️⃣ Hopefully sets precedent for other ticketing issues
This is a big step in the right direction by the club and a vindication of the collective action so many blues took last season.
But why haven't the club also used this opportunity to scrap the 10 game minimum attendance policy?

Heading into the FSA conference this Saturday.....
We have instructed LeighDay_Law to write to the club about the recently implemented minimum attendance policy as well as facial recognition. We hope they will engage in meaningful discussions and scrap these damaging policies. #MCFC
We realise this could have been any one of us, anyone who was a regular at football in this period can tell you the lack of safety regulations and the contempt authorities held us in.
Remember the 56. #BradfordCity #RememberThe56
The emergency exit doors were locked, leading to the deaths of 56 football fans.
We stand in solidarity with Bradford City fans, and the family and friends of the victims.
Today marks 40 years since the day that was supposed to be a celebration for Bradford City fans, as Bradford were being crowned Third Division champions. This turned to disaster just before half time, with a small fire quickly taking hold of the Main Stand, engulfing it in a matter of seconds.

A holding statement regarding @mancity.com ticketing announcement.
We will have to see the full detail but this is a step in the right direction. Well done to all those who stood up those who protested. Collective action does work @mcfcfoodbank.bsky.social @weare1894 #MCFC
Fair enough.
The original post lacked context. It would be remiss of us and the other groups not to respond to the posts you referenced yesterday and if we hadn't done,some would have attacked us for staying silent, which we wouldn't do.
As you are aware we are coordinating actions against ticketing to benefit all supporters and have been careful not to "other" anyone. If xenophobic sentiment springs up we will certainly counter it. To characterise it as scrambled reactions is simplistic.
The club must listen to us, the fans.
Solidarity with our @citymattersreps reps in the meeting today.
