Man City give themselves unexpected chance with Champions League tickets
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester City changed for the better on Friday when they announced that disabled fans would no longer have to pay for matchday parking.
Only introduced weeks before the season started, the £6 levy would have sprung over £150 onto the costs of disabled supporters.
Instead, it has been replaced by a system that will only charge if people reserve a spot and then fail to use it. The club are insistent that this was all part of a masterplan, so it must be a happy coincidence that this latest development is the same strategy rejected by the club weeks ago when the Disabled Supporters Association (MCDSA) suggested it and comes days after fan groups set up a fundraising effort to protest against the decision.
It would be unfortunate if the club hadn't listened to any of the opposition to their decision because a club listening to its fans is a welcome relationship that is getting less common in football.
