Manchester City Take Action After Adam Johnson Season Ticket Blunder

We are contacting the cardholder directly and have suspended the season card indefinitely whilst considering an appropriate response."

Johnson was jailed for six years in March for engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
