We are glad you recognise this and you have said that you prefer the fanbase to be alive and not passive.“With this in mind we ask you for one more favour.“Your friends at the club have done many good things. Can you ask them to do one more good thing. Can you speak with your good friend, club CEO Ferran Soriano.“The stadium is growing by 8,000 next season and the fans want the club to bring back some real season tickets so that the generational links can be protected. The amount of season ticket holders in the stadium has been shrinking. When fans cannot attend games the club then cannot resell those tickets because they are priced too high.“We want the same things as you. A powerful club, with a loud atmosphere in the stadium. The North Stand redevelopment is a chance to make that happen. However, you will not get the atmosphere you crave if the club do not think again.”City fans have staged several protests against the club this year, notably when thousands of supporters stayed in the Etihad Stadium concourse for the first nine minutes of the 2-0 win against Leicester City on April 2.Eight days later, City announced they had frozen season-ticket prices for the 2025-26 campaign, the first time in a decade that such a step had been taken. Loukas Gregory of the 1894 fan group described the freeze as the “absolute minimum”.The club have scheduled meetings with other fan groups this week and will discuss issues such as season-ticket availability.City, fourth in the Premier League table, return to action on Friday evening when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers.(Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)
