Great crowd but people come to watch us at least try and win. one shot on target in second half was poor

Only at five or so minutes to go when they, except Diaz and Sane, refused to attack. No shots on target second half was disappointing for those who went.

I thought it was only for that passage of non play at the end, not the performance per se.There wer some boos at the end for an insipid negative performance.
Yes a great crowd and I believe a bigger crowd than the dippers could attract against Porto the night before, well done Blues who attended.
Whilst on attendances have heard that over Eight thousand now on season card waiting list and club will now put time scale in place for North Stand Extention by the end of this season . Possible build to begin this autumn, watch this space.

Sorry, I can’t reconcile an 8000 strong waiting list with blocks of empty seats in the FamilyStand (and East Stand) every week. If we have an 8000 strong waiting list why are we giving away tickets to Scottish school groups who don’t turn up?

I hope they organise the North Stand expansion soonest. All tickets are basically sold for every league match including against the so called lesser teams. And when you get around 50,000 for a dead rubber game on a Wednesday night against the likes of Basle then there should be no question about whether to organize an extension. Our fan base is growing all the time especially now that Pep is working his magic.
Hopefully a solution will then be found regarding the location of one big singing section, how best to sort out the family section and where to put away fans.

I'd agree with that. Nothing to lose but no desire to get forward.I thought it was only for that passage of non play at the end, not the performance per se.

Just checked and it was 48768 whereas ours was 49411. I'm guessing there were more Porto fans at Anfield than Basel fans at our place too.

Interesting thing when I got some tickets for the family for the Basel game was that the lad at supporter services was struggling getting 8 in a row for me but then went on to tell me that one of the club "partners" had just released some tickets back to the club. This had happened in a couple areas of the group, but would explain why tickets suddenly become available close the the match itself and why on some occasions seats go unused in big games. You'll always get seasoncard holders swerving games but perhaps the club needs to be a bit more robust with some of these "partners" who perhaps don't take up the tickets they've been given or sold?

I honestly can't understand the obsession some people have with "empty seats". To quote Shakespeare, it's "a thing devised by the enemy." Rags have always banged on about our crowds. Even when we had Colin Bell and Francis Lee and were stuffing them 4-0 every time we played them.
Look, City have never in their entire history had such large regular attendances as they do now. If you go back and check the stats., you'll find it was often 60,000 one week and 25,000 the next. And the big attendances were not always against the teams you might expect.
Stop worrying, build the new stand, and wait. The regular attendances will grow, as long as the team remains successful. Which it will.
