According to numerous media outlets, Frank Lampard was never owned by New York City Football Club, despite reports in July that he was their property on loan at Manchester City. In no way am I directing any blame at Mr. Lampard... this will be my biggest rant to date. The Third Rail, NYCFC's supporter's group, has released a very tame statement "denouncing" City Football Group and their handling of the Lampard business. This is how I would have done things:
Dear Members,
As you well know, we have been lied to by our "club", New York City FC, about the very reason we are all season ticket holders and once-proud supporters of this joke of a club. From henceforth, we will not be affiliated with New York City FC, nor will we give them another second of our time or money. In fact, I will be in touch with our ticket rep on January 2nd to demand answers about the Lampard situation. If I do not hear an acceptable answer, I will ask all of you to turn in your tickets for your money back. You will then be free to support whatever other club you wish to support. This has been a good 6-month ride, but don't blame me, blame NYCFC.
Statement:
We at the Third Rail are disgusted and appalled at the mishandling of the Frank Lampard situation by New York City Football Club and City Football Group. Beause of this, we will no longer affiliate with New York City FC. We apologize for any inconvenience to all of you, and we will attempt to get your money back if you hand in your season tickets to us.
