Safe Standing isn't going to make any difference to our atmosphere. South Stand Level 1 are allowed to stand now.
Official attendance includes all tickets sold. If ticket holders don't turn up what do you want City to report. They cannot sell tickets twice just in case someone doesn't turn up. If City are selling 98% of tickets where is the issue? I wouldn't argue with you if it was 6k my 3k was a guess but even if it was 10k that leaves over 40k who aren't standing.
Why is that? a three quarter full stadium doesn't inspire the players regardless of how many tickets officially been 'sold'
And it makes a huge difference to the atmosphere...?
That's it. If the football is exciting, then the atmosphere will improve. Last season, at times, we were fucking boring to watch. Kept the ball, but done fuck all with it. This season will be better.Watching exciting football makes the biggest difference to the atmosphere.
Did you mate? There were still 50k in the ground 15 minutes after the final whistle for Zabba's leaving celebration
If a player on over £100k a week needs a crowd to inspire them we need to get rid.
