Pick and choose if you like, but then you miss games like that.
And for me, its when it gets difficult that a club needs its fans although those that went were drowned out by 3,000 away fans. They really were loud
Cheap ticket prices (£20).Yes it was a good game, it wont do the club any harm playing in front of 40,000 , might kick them up the fucking arse a bit, its not just happening at City, its widely reported there were close on 10,000 empty seats at Arsenals last home CL game.
But 5,000 were BMG.I not sure when 40000 at city suddenly become a poor attendance. I remember getting close to 18000 at one time when we bear Huddersfield 10-1.
It looks bad in the bigger stadium but it still a good crowd
3000 BMG wasn't it ?But 5,000 were BMG.
You're right though. A few years ago, our midweek cup crowds were embarrassing. We couldn't fill the ground for Quarter Finals. We rely on season ticket holders many of whom now live out of Manchester
We do seem to have had a hell of a lot of home games over the past 3 weeks. 4 home games in 18 days just before xmas is bound to have an impact on attendances. All that considered i think 40k for last night is a pretty good turn out. Unfortunately now with the bigger stadium it spreads people out even more making it look worse than it was.But 5,000 were BMG.

They had more than the usual away end. They spilled over into the neighbouring block in the South stand. They had a block in the Colin Bell Stand and little pockets all over.3000 BMG wasn't it ?

If you go for entertainment and a good night then I can understand why fans don't go because at home especially the European games have been miserable
However what made City fans special were the number who stood by the club when we were getting worse. In fact the worst we got the more support we got. Thanks to them we're playing in the last 16 of the Champions League now.
