Manchester City fans take legal action against club over season-ticket policy
Club have increased mandatory attendance requirement
Trade Union Blues warn fans ‘face exclusion’ as a result
Manchester City supporters have taken legal action against the club over what they describe as a discriminatory new season-ticket policy. The protest relates to a system that requires fans to attend at least 10 league matches if they are to retain their ticket for the following season.
A group of fans known as the Trade Union Blues, whose members are union members, have engaged the law firm Leigh Day to ask the club to review the policy, arguing that the requirement “potentially gives rise to claims under the Equality Act of 2010”.
