We'll surely they don't want a one off large crowd visiting our stadium and not going to home games in the league, or am I wrong in saying this?

In an ideal world yes.vale would want more fans at every home game. Every club would.but they dont play Manchester City every week and it's perfectly understandable why a big match at the home of the champions of England and currentfa cup holders has drawn huge interest.This together with the club finally being on the up after years of mis management. ..

Swinton really, from Forest and I think I've read a improved six figure offer has been sent.

Port Vale crowd today 5,342, long way short of the 8k coming to the Etihad, they should be getting better crowds than that prior to our game.

Gillingham averaged 6,000 yet took 37,000 to Wembley all declaring their love for the club. Then went back down to 6,000 the following season. Made a tidy sum flogging jester hats though.

Over the past few seasons Exeter, Burton and Rochdale all took 8 - 9000 to The Swamp, many of whom hadnt been before or since.

Your quoting extreme examples there pal, all clubs take more fans to Wembley, we had about 65k there against Wigan. All I'm saying is the 8k that are coming to City should at least turn up for the league game with Macclesfield.

Daughter bought me some tickets for this game considering I haven't renewed my season ticket it came as a bit of a surprise. In tow I will be taking my eldest son ( Goes to maybe half the matches a season) and my two grandsons first game which will be a big thing for us. One Burnley fan and one Blackburn fan will be going too and they're excited too.

I just hope the real City turn up and make a good impression.

Sounds like it might sell out today then? 400 have gone in one morning and 400 left onsale.

I think there might be a few hundred single seats which will come online at the end though. That's a known unknown!

Turns out you were right. Some level 1 tickets - mainly single seats have been put on the planner. Family stand and also blocks 104,105, and 106

There could be even more blocks around the ground with single seats left. This must be right at the end of the sales but single seats might take a long time to sell.
 
I have two tickets but am seriously considering giving it a swerve.

Seriously pissed off now with the trials of attending games, evening or not.

How can it be that someone who lives less than 12 miles away, had to fork out £50 plus to get to and from the Everton game with my kids in tow?

Decided to leave the car at home, and use the Metro.

Took us 1hr 15mins from Timperley, including a 20-minute wait in Picadilly Gardens.

Stayed until the end, decided to get a bus across the road back into town and catch a tram from there.

Five guys old enough to know better (three blues and two Everton fans) decided to get in to it over politics and Brexit, becoming very threatening towards each other and using every foul-mouthed profanity in the book.

At this stage, with my eight year old girl at a game for the first time in a couple of years, I told them to quit it and be mindful of my wife and kids sat across from them.

Sadly, it was the dickhead 50-something Blue who continued to cause shit, fearful my family would get caught in the crossfire.

To make matters worse, every tram at Picadilly was rammed, including the pathetic single to Alty which would at least have prevented us changing at Cornbrook.

Freezing and late, we had no option but to jump in a taxi with £10 on the meter before we even set off.

Taxi - 37.50
Metro family ticket - £7.10
Bus special - £7.00

It seems car or public transport, this council couldn't give a shit how people manage to move around this city.
