City is just a part time job for Jerry and that has only been recent. Prior to that he did mostly everything as a volunteer. I am lucky enough to call Jerry a friend and know he will always go the extra mile for City fans. It is the things he does that people never hear about.

Bcfccity Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You do not get free away tickets or coach travel for working for the club! Unless maybe your working but then not free tickets(commentators press) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home and away? Adam Baker has been employed in roles that would see him expected to attend matches, that’s hardly a requisite for a part time employee with no team, media, security, managerial or director responsibility.

HoldenBall Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 If it genuinely bothers anyone if he should or should not get an award based on having free tickets they clearly don't have many other problems in life to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalcub Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Spoons I apologise for saying you only post negative things . I agree totally with you and the op is out of order, free travel or not it’s an amazing achievement and he’s a top bloke too a credit to our club .

poland_exile Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 free or not, I don't think it matters. A staggering achievement, even more so considering some of the football he must have seen. Being fair, even if it was on a freebie, I bet many of us would look at a league table, see us somewhere invariably near the foot of the table, and think screw getting up at 6 in the morning to embark on a far-flung journey to see our next 4-0 tanking. And let's be honest, it's hardly like he's been travelling business class in a private jet staffed by topless bunny girls. We're not exactly an easy club to support sometimes, so respect to all who make the effort to get their arse out of bed and follow City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 The man has saved me a few bob over time, last year at Fleetwood in the FA cup me and my friend decided on the day that we would head up. Both had the day off work, got to Fleetwood and the CATS coaches passed us we were walking to the ground. Jerry waited outside the turnstiles for us to arrive as he’d seen us walking and gave us 2 free tickets courtesy of the club. He didn’t have to wait, he didn’t have to offer the free tickets but he did and it’s not the only time that’s happened either. A real credit to the club and club and the nicest person I’ve ever met.

BobBobSuperBob Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Normally sits close to me in Dolman Always used to see him when I was a regular Away attendee and as many have said , besides his love of City a great bloke who would help any City fan anytime he could Lovely Bloke and astute with his Football talks a lot of sense Congratulations Jerry - an unbelievable achievement I always wondered how many Bery Fudge , bless her racked up but I’m not sure she made 900 consecutive Would be nice for the Club to recognise Jerry with something on the pitch pre Manchester City so the rest of the Gate can recognise a fantastic dedication @AdamB (Just a suggestion - would be nice for him to get recognition in front of the Fans) Incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
