Manchester City Forums

Whos up for it!!!Bring some petrol and some milk bottles and if it doesnt go our way,we'll start a riot!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, fans still agitated by the potential loss of Eriksson, continue with plans to make Shinawatra to take notice of their wishes.

They plan a march today (2.30pm) that will lead them from Eastlands car park one to the front door of the stadium where they will deliver a petition containing more than 20,000 names backing Eriksson.

Shinawatra is sure to be advised of the strength of the demonstration and a huge turn-out could yet lead him towards the conclusion that if he sacks Eriksson he may never again regain the hearts and minds of the City supporters.

Bring walking boots,thats a bloody big car park!!!!!!!!

It's today isn't it...

Yeah it is today, you have an hour to get down to COMS.

City fans march at Eastlands

CITY fans today tuned out in force to urge owner Thaksin Shinawatra not to dispense with the services of manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Estimates of the crowd ranged between 1,000 and 5,000 (about 2,000 was probably closwer to the figure) but either way it was a big enough attendance to make clear that a substantial number of Blues fans are still angry about the possible departure of the man who has guided the team into ninth place and almost certainly a spot in next season’s Uefa Cup.

The rally, which organisers stressed was not anti-Shinawatra or anti-City but a celebration of Eriksson’s work this season, passed off with good humour as the procession snaked its way along Joe Mercer way and then around the entire Eastlands ground.

There was a pause at the Garden of Remembrance before the Official Supporters’ Club general secretary Kevin Parker presented an 18,000 strong petition at the main reception.

Fans chanted Eriksson’s name and went through a repertoire of pro-City songs before departing around half an hour later.

“We were delighted with the turn out, thrilled,” said Parker. “This was not a negative rally but one intended to show the depth of support that there is for Sven and the job he has done.

“Hopefully the rally and the petition will make the owner think again about any possible decision to sack Sven in the summer and make him realise the want Sven to be allowed instead to carry on his good work.

“I would like to thank all those fans who interrupted their weekend to come along.”

The rally was organised and backed by the OSC, the Centenary Supporters Association, fanzine King of the Kippax and on-line supporters groups.

Pointless.

Joyous as ever BU/L

just me and you on then emigre?

i find this embarrassing.

I bet Shinawatra shitting himself....An utterly totally pointless excercise...as i have said on this topic before....politicians only know the power of the pound and the feet...if you truly oppose the decision...dont turn up to the games next season, get a refund on your season ticket and dont buy the merchandise...thats how we doooos it....

Not sure you can call it pointless, if only because those who went got something out of it. Not everything has to have an end result and not all results can be seen.

We don't need no Phil Scolari...

Oh these truly were the days to be a blue.

Any news of Thaksin recently? I thought I spotted him in The Hague behind Mladic on the news last night...
