Man City supporters staged a very successful protest in the first few minutes of last night’s match against Leicester City to voice their opinions over the club’s agreement with Viagogo.

There were thousands of supporters who stayed on the concourse until the ninth minute, since City had used nine separate secondary ticketing companies.
Huge crowds of empty seats watched as Jack Grealish gave the home team the lead in the second minute and celebrated.
The Man City Fans Foodbank and the 1894 Trade Union Blues organized the protest, which was based on the club’s lack of involvement with ticketing policy and exorbitant rates.
It is evident that supporters want Viagogo gone after Manchester City’s announcement last week to “welcome him to the family.”
In a joint statement, 1894, Trade Union Blues, and MCFC Fans Foodbank thanked everyone who participated and urged the team to “do the right thing.”
They stated: “We urge the club to take note and change direction.
Season ticket prices must be frozen or reduced.
General admission prices must be reduced, the next generation of fans must be able to obtain season tickets, and loyalty must be rewarded.”
In addition to regulating third-party ticket vendors, the groups want many modifications made to ticket policies to achieve their goals, reports FSA.
