Its the British back pages most the shite they print is bullshite talking about any club in any sport.

City has been one of the most well supported clubs in Emgland this year


wut?

Their core support those 30k who travel on aways and used to pack back in the lower league days is very good but outside that not really. Most the City fans are from certain neighborhoods in Manchester. The rest of the city and the suburbs is dominated by United. That and United have fans from other parts of England from bandwagon fans or people who left Manchester due to a failing economy back in the day but kept their Manchester roots and passed it down through their family. You see the same with Liverpool and other teams from the north.

quote:

the team say they have a 5000 person long waiting list for season tickets.


They actually could, the thing is in english football not all the seats are season tickets only a certain %. The rest are sold to the public and for big clubs United,Arsenal,Liverpool, Chelsea etc those require a paid membership. This is how they really make money. Off the fan who can only go to 3 or 4 games a year but pays 40 quid or so to be a member.

Well it's certainly no less credible than a ManU fan talking about City

How do we know it wasn't a previous meeting?

How do we know it wasn't during the very end of the half and everyone was getting concessions or in the bathroom? Or maybe it was right at the start and people are still filling in?

Like I said, no context.

Everything you're saying could be totally true, but I'm not going to take a rival fans word for it and also attendance trash talk is pretty weak anyway.

if that pic was definitely from last night then it had to be right at the start of the game. game kicked at 7:45 pm in manchester and the sun set at 8:13.

you can tell it is much more filled in from these pics later in the game:







still shitty that the stadium wasn't packed from the first whistle.

still pointless banter.

i'd rather you pick on martin demichelis' pony tail.

From what i read it was around the 30mins

I watched the replay and you could see the empty seats pretty clear.

also apparently city resold 500 people tickets wtf

check out this thread from the city message board some pissed off people in there.

Last night for me was an absolute disgrace, we were fighting for the title, and yet we had swathes of empty seats followed up by an Atmosphere that could have been bettered at a conference match.

Fans can make so much of a difference, yet stood in 109 last night all I could hear was Sunderland fans, We often criticise United for atmosphere, but to be fair, their support at home has been fantastic this season.
