Seat Counters 25/26

[WestGorton]

Youngsters behind me never stopped singing

Ditto. Exeter will be good I think.

Will be interesting when we play the geordies in the second leg, tickets will be snapped up by the clubs ticket tout partners.

I always prefer the Saturday daytime home cup ties, when young families look happy to be at the game.

The Geordies will get a very big away allocation so the mugs will be buying off touts

I had a full row of them in Block 011 trying to get songs going . Great to see, although hardly any regulars were there to help them out

My mate took his son and granddaughter tonight. I sat with my Grandad in the Platt Lane. The great thing is it's boys and girls now.

Loads of groups of kids in the North Stand but I don't think the tickets are free.

DJ at our pub told me his son was on a free trip tonight to the match

His sons school is in Bury

We’ve been spoilt with success to the extent that Blues queue up to call themselves legacy fans.

I know.

I thought the kids were fantastic. Better than a load of miserable twats. They were really into it from what I witnessed. The future is not me.

It was brilliant seeing so many young fans unlike the moaners on this site. It’s a free choice whether you watch City or not. So why come on here with your negative thoughts and drag the rest of us down. The tickets were cheap. It’s a free country for now.

Brilliant post. We are so lucky. There is always FC fag in Moston for the moaners.

Tonight’s attendance was the result of years of ticketing policies aimed at pushing the legacy fans out.

Careful what you wish for City!

Totally agree mate.

 

[Shirley]

Yet the swamp is nearly always full whoever they play….baffling!

Dragging you down. Really? Lol!

I'm sorry I didn't go.

I'd like to apologise for the other 10,000's of City fans who also didn't go last night.

Hopefully that has lifted your spirits?

Yes, I agree, it was great seeing and hearing the kids.

Merry Christmas.

PS. I'm making the effort and going to Sunderland on New Year's Day with an 8pm kick off. I've taken the next day off work so I can do that. I'm buying my Exeter, FA Cup, ticket today.

Its a bit like being back at school again re whose the best fan etc, the main thing is with 3 generational talents in Erling, Cherki and Foden kids of school age in and around Manchester should be encouraged by the club to be the next generation.

Not really baffling. They have a ludicrous amount of plastic fans like no other team, that takes up the slack on the occasions its required. We are not like that, some of the ticketing decisions taken by the club over a prolonged period are frankly barmy

 

[Gingers Dad]

It’s been discussed and done to death, and will be done to death until the stand opens.

The directors have only got themselves to blame if that happens. When that happens.

Pretty sure we had the same debate 10 years ago when the South Stand was expanded. Build it and they will come as someone once said

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Not always, they just turn the lights off on the upper levels so the cameras can’t see the empty seats.

They did come and then they reduced the capacity by 1500 by taking out a few rows of pitch side seats because they made more money from it. They should have done the North stand extension much earlier before the bubble burst, there is a lot of apathy around the support at the moment and it's all down to the powers that be. They had the opportunity to hoover up local support attract lapsed blues back and they have failed miserably on that score. They should have focused on increasing support within a 20 mile radius and then gone international thus creating a long lasting loyal more or less permanent base who will be there in good times or bad.

Don't they get the same allocation as a lge game?
