    So we’ve lost the Tom Banks trophy, that’s it now, surely Hughes must be considering his position having lost this prestigious trophy. Gutted is an understatement.

    It’ll be the last time I buy a ticket for this fixture. The club have lost my trust by reducing this game to a kids runaround when it was billed as a first team friendly which they sold 2000 tickets in advance for.
    The Bolton game might well have been a better workout and in that case they should have fessed up and cancelled todays game at BPA or at least offered a refund for what really amounts to mis-selling.

    It certainly is another bit of misleading marketing from City. It’s these kind of stunts that could fragment the relationship between club and fans

    And why we’d promote it just to line the pockets of a club allegedly owned by a multi-millionaire living in the USA is definitely baffling

    No issue from me in terms of the prep. But poor communication from the club though and very misleading.

    Id have been angry had I turned up. I only heard about the Bolton game this morning so decided against tonight.

    Don't mind Park Avenue making a bit of money, but pretty poor from City.

    Game was a whole bunch of nothing.

    They are not available for the Middlesbrough game either so could be that ticket sales are really not doing well and they've decided to close the kop to save on stewarding costs.

    Just seen this from last nights friendly with Avenue which I'd totally forgotten about, sounds familiar .. ?

    LONGBOTTOM levels after poor defending from City - back-pass falls short and the Avenue striker wins the 50-50 with Richardson to tap home ...

    Stop complaining, The club sees supporters as a supply of cash to be tapped into at every opportunity, That is your only value to the club. It did not always be this way but it feels how the present management of the club value supporters

    The club is a business and needs to raise money as often as it can and by as much as it can. Just like any other business really.

    2500 fans turn up expecting to see the first team but now turned out to be a meaningless game, which would attract no more than 100 fans
    Shadiness from City at the highest order

    "the club has no ambition and is going into national league fast"

    "the club is maximizing every revenue stream possible to give us a competitive budget and put us in good stead for league one"

    Pick one.

    They say Sh*t travels downwards, looks like ridiculous play does also.
    I was there and was bored with the tedious and monotonous playing around at the back.
    Although MH does not coach these kids his style is passed down via their coaches.
    It was be the undoing of MH at City.

    Business must offer value for money and honest trading or will fail. A lesson Sparks needs to learn or fail the club
