Media Thread - 2021/22

The Star's jumped on the bandwagon now saying thousands of unsold tickets for tonight's game "as the row goes on" and could be the lowest attendance since Pep took over,no mention of any other stats with other clubs,Twats !

Who the hell reads The Star?

[Rochdale Blue]

Of course it is, Spurs only getting 30k last week is everywhere - even overshadowing the coverage of our disgraceful 45k against a team with no away fans.

Same with Barcelona, forty thousand allowed in last night and they had around 37k.

 

[argyle]

Whilst I would love nothing more than select personnel being banned or at least made to pay their way, this definitely would become the narrative............

The club once banned Dan Roan and there was no reaction to it in the press.

Newcastle once banned many of the national press and no one cared.

Many in the media might try to position as a free press against big, bad, Abu Dhabi but many fans won't give a damn as they also hate many in the media.

Martin Samuel not getting it in his column today, either.

Cites the average 28k we got in old Third Division, asks if we would get similar crowds again in the same division?

Wrongly states we have won ten trophies since then.

Says Pep is the hottest ticket in town and would be pretty poor if we have only added 10k extra to our hardcore.

Apparently 38k fans is poor because hadn't played Champions League football at home for two years.

Another living in a bubble.

Far too busy helping himself to the buffet to actually find out what the issues are.

Him and his mates Custis, Parker.

We need at a.very minimum to defend ourselves against the Lies that Become Accepted as Truth by pointing out the real truth. Better still quote stats about the hidden truths at others clubs such as 5k kids on freebies inflating attendance at the Swamp. Sinclair could do this easily and Micah should be able to get the stuff in that the average fan in here knows off by heart instead of giggling and doing the bantz with Ratboy and Spitty. Players could get stuff in on interviews without offending our owners too much.
The GPC always seemed to have a PR minder next to him on pre match pressies even telling a woman out loud to ban some reporter.
I am afraid Pep seemed to have been given a quick course before the Saints' match when he unconvincingly mentioned he knew we fans had travelled to watch us in the old third division.

Unusual for him. I just don't see why it bothers any of them or is any of their business. Of course we know it doesn't it is just part of the relentless attacks on our club and fan base by a jealous and racist media

 

[Centurions]

Plus a lack of attractive matches in early Cup matches generally with no offence meant to Wycombe. Add in the effect of Covid, the economic situation brewing and the story is really about a problem affecting all clubs but it's twisted to be a kicking opportunity against City often with facts completely distorted.
The TV companies advertise like mad for people to watch their 'product' at home and then indirectly criticise those who do.

I find the game against Wycombe quite attractive myself, much more so than if we'd drawn Bournemouth or Arsenal for instance.

It will be worse after tonight.

United are at home this week and have given thousands of free tickets away to schools, West Ham bringing a fair following.

United will add another 15k on the gate for good measure (See FC Cluj)

City announce a crowd of 20-25k, our third home game in less than a week, but we all know what the reporting will be about.

Empty seats song tonight?

Me too.

Seeing the beast join Messi, Neymar and Mbappe playing on our turf is worth the entrance fee alone.

He's a sole voice of reason because it suits him to be.

Was same with Henry Winter, same for others.

He sees through FFP, but let's not kid ourselves, vested interests all the same.

Since moving to the Etihad our home attendances in the PL have increased by over 60% from 33k at Maine Road to over 50k at the Etihad...

Well I hope somebody mentions the fact that due to the the crap website and ticket office thousands can't buy a ticket. It will die a death soon there's only so many times even these cretins can flog a dead horse. I wish people at the club would realise in future to engage the brain before opening the mouth as we know they are just waiting to pounce.
