FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

You are not looking beyond the box sorry to say, DD has been there and done that and respect for it.
No need to try slate the bloke if he decides not to go to this, it doesn't make anyone a big hero because others do go and not him.
Still a piss poor attitude to regard an FA cup semi final as not a big enough game to bother with. And as for having been there and done it my own record supporting City is not too shabby either. I just don't feel the need to brag about it
 
It was semi-final or spurs for me spurs meant a day off and £60 for ticket plus travel couldn't afford both so this was a no brainer.

Understand that fully,but does not excuse the other 30 thousand who wont be able to make these away games who use it as an excuse and really cant be srsed.

We had a good loyal support with 40k averages on the run up to HRH buying us but thats no good if we are outnumbered by a club like Brighton on Sat.

This team deserves better I believe, sorry if that hurts someones feelings.
 
Exactly. Going to watch City should be optional. City fans criticising others for not attending games should be politely be told to fuck off.
Spot on lads. It's difficult for people to attend every game. I won't be at the game tonight I'd have to take two days off work just to go tonight, I'll be there Saturday against Brighton it's costing me a lot of money getting flights, hotel, ticket, spending money ect Plus I've a holiday to pay off and the missus feels like killing me :)

You wont hurt my feelings mate .Am watching it in the house with my family .Would have cost a fortune for us all to go to Wembley
 
Good post matt.

It's entirely at an individual's discretion how and when they choose to attend games and support the club,so,to those concerned.......please stop attacking others for their opinion,honesty and their prerogative.

I think it was more the bit about Brighton sticking 11 men behind the ball that stood out for me. There are many fans with genuine enough reasons for not attending this game but I doubt anyone else is using how the opposition might set up as being the reason for not going. Brighton could have their whole 35,000 following behind the ball for all I care but to use it as an excuse not to go and also as a stick to beat the opposition with when they don't have anything like the resources at their disposal that we have smacks of sheer arrogance. Brighton are entitled to set up how they fucking want and it's not like we've not got used to watching teams adopt a safety first approach against us over the past few years. It is what it is.

As he said, he's put in the hard yards down the years so you can't knock that side of it.

That said, I think watching City on over 60 grounds during a 43 years spell is a bit of a shite record tbh. I've got less years than that of following City under my belt and I've seen us on over 100 grounds ;)
 
If you were a player walking out on Saturday and you looked at both ends of the ground. How do you think you would feel??

Just a question and not having a go at either “going” or “not going”
 
I remember being at the cup final against Wigan. We must have had three quarters of the ground and lost. Having more fans there didn't help us one iota. As I walked out getting piss wet through in the torrential rain I thought, " Oh well we had more fans there so I don't feel too bad, at least we won't get mocked on social media." Said not one fan ever that day lol.

The rain that day (and against Chelsea in the semi, albeit less so) was crazy.

Good point. It didn't help us at all and we must've had 45,000+ fans in the ground that day, whereas Wigan had around 20,000

Ha ha. You are not kidding. I don’t remember being sat in a pub afterwards saying to my mate “well at least we sold out so never mind”
 
I don't see why anybody would remotely give a shit what others on social media are going to say. It's not like if it's rammed they're going to turn around and congratulate everyone, it's a stick to beat a team they don't like with. If it's not that, it's something else. Who cares about them?
 
I'd see it as a concern to the powers that be that City fans are refusing to attend a semi final. We need to get back to neutral venues for the semis, although I'm sure the fans of the other three clubs at Wembley this weekend would disagree.
