On Tuesday, all
Manchester City season ticket holders received a 'Fan Survey' in
which a proposal was being made to vote 'yes' or 'no' towards a new
plan called Ever Blue. I sincerely hope the majority will understand
the background meaning of this and will vote against it.
The Ever Blue means you
must pay a 'deposit' of two seasons in advance 'to make sure you will
keep your seat'. This comes now on top of your season ticket renewal.
If you decline to pay for the deposit, than someone else in the
waiting list shall do so in the end and you'll be moved out of your
seat in two seasons from now.
In order to confuse the
fans they stated: “fans may decline the purpose that someone
else buys your seat”. But
wait, by not paying the deposit – or you can't afford it – simply
means that you're 'giving up your seat'. So are you then being moved elsewhere? Not if all those other seats are already claimed by other Ever Blue subscribers.
Where
will this new idea lead to? It means that unpaid seats will be sold
for a higher price to those who got a deeper pocket. Those who got
more wealth will also spend more in the club shop. Is this a plan in
order to gain more money due of the Financial Fair Play? Surely there
are other ways to do so instead of forcing loyal fans out and replace
them with people who got more money.
