Will actually be less vs Southampton as we are sat above them and I don't think they can sell the first 3 rows of the upper tier. Segregation is not lost via seats anymore in the new stand.

I'm not sure that you are right about that worsley. Liverpool announced that they had been allocated 2,912 tickets whereas Bournemouth got the full 3,058. For "high risk" matches I think that the segregation might still be greater. I take your point about losing the front few rows where we are above the away fans. I guess we'll have a good indication of what's what when the Liverpool attendance is announced.
 
While I might only come to the UK for a couple of games there are thousands of City fans who watch the games in the pub or there house because they cant justify the cost of certain games, that's why we have so many empty seats at most games

Not at all sure about your argument here...when the ground is sold out and yet there are still empty seats then that is more to do with some seasoncard holders not turning up. It's got nothing to do with how many people are watching on TV somewhere....and those who can't justify the cost couldn't get a ticket anyway.

Not having an argument mate just stating a fact ,many watching in the pubs have got membership cards but would go to more games if tickets were cheaper,if so many season card holders are regular not turning up I would have to ask why ,just seems a shame most games there are hundreds of empty seats but people are willing and able to go ,but that a side it great credit that we getting regular 50.000 plus that is not to be sneezed at ,great fans great club ,just wish somet could be done about the empty seats

Not at all true
They don't want to pay the cost of Liverpool, and I don't blame them, but they'd also rather be in the pub than pay £15 to see City v Palace
They are from willing to be in the ground.
 
An earthquake?

Remember going there once for Andy Dibbles debut - think we lost 1-0.

I was young and naïve and expected beautiful coastal town and had an image of eating fish and chips overlooking the sea. Didn't quite turn out like that..

Many empty seats at most games? The fuck you on about? Apart from the league cup game you might get a few dotted around the front of the family stand and some in the corporate but that's it.

You've been brainwashed without experiencing for yourself.

Rag.

There's plenty of empties most games

Not because we can't sell out. I have missed two or home games because I have a life. V Bournemouth I was at a wedding and once I had to dash back from the lakes but 4 of the tickets I have were empty because the kids and my old fella were away. Va Norwich was half term and let's say 1 in 10 people are on holiday. Our crowds this season have been excellent,

I agree. For whatever reason though there seem to be more empties at ours than at other top teams. There's absolutely shit loads in about block 213 ish area every week. That block (or a block around there - the 2nd tier corner of south stand and Colin bell stand) looks about a third empty almost every game. And just generally dotted about very few blocks look packed out

He's not a rag but he is under the impression that there are literally thousands of blues desperately wanting to go and see their heroes but rather than pay for a match ticket, which is far too expensive IHO, they go to the pub and watch there

However these same desperate blues don't rock up when it's £18 v Palace or £25 v Sevilla or Monchengladbach

That's where I sit! Can fart and no one next to me to worry about it.

The reason we have more empties for sold out games than other teams is probably due to the massive per game price differences between season tickets and match day tickets. For example, my season ticket is £299 but 'face value' for my seat for the Liverpool game is £58. Average face value for my seat is about £45, meaning that if you can only make 7 games a year you're financially better off getting a season ticket. My seat is often empty even though I try to give it away for free to friends.

At other clubs, season tickets probably cost 15x the average match day price.

Surely not? They wouldn't sell any season tickets if that were the case.

There is something in that I can only make about 6 games a year and have thought about a s/c at up to £400 , but if I do I still couldn't make more than 7/8 games at the most so that seat would be empty for a few of those other games.
