Yes but United have a compulsory cup scheme and we don't. So our figures are actually much more likley to be accurate.

The rags should concentrate on filling their own ground before moaning about us, kin hypocrites. Plenty of empty seats last Friday against Derby.
Are you kidding me?

What frustrates me is the fact that when you watch a game any empty seats on the lower levels are quite easy to spot, but we then have the new extended stand that is full and out of sight to the cameras.
You would think that the club would drop the prices for the lower level seats especially behind the goal in order to guarantee they get filled for every game.
Maybe £10 a ticket.

or do what the rags do and close the upper tiers forcing everyone into camera viewWhat frustrates me is the fact that when you watch a game any empty seats on the lower levels are quite easy to spot, but we then have the new extended stand that is full and out of sight to the cameras.

The tenth highest league cup crowd in our history straight after Xmas and it’s on tv. Nothing to see here. Great crowd. And we have been getting 54,000 practically every week for 3 years.
It will just keep getting better.
Had the usual rag going on in work this morning about empty seats. Just said when did you last go to old Trafford? As predicted not for years.

I’m 55yrs old. City fan since 10yrs old. Always used to go to Maine Rd and stand in the Kippax. Didn’t go for about 15yrs. Up until 18 months ago I was a season ticket holder for about 10yrs, East Stand Level 2. Great seats. Paid £850 per season for league games only. Paid the extra for all cup games. When the Aguero Bar got built my season ticket alone went from the £850 to £1,750. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask! I wrote to the club complaining how they could justify such a disgraceful increase. They didn’t even have the decency to reply to a life long fan. I couldn’t justify paying that amount for where I’ve sat with many many friends for years. So I stopped going. So did most around me. Some moved to cheaper seats. But the club doesn’t want true fans anymore, they want what ManUre do, Liverpool, Arsenal etc and just want the corporate business and the tourists who will buy a half&half scarf, a programme, a meal, some merchandise etc spending £250 or more for the experience. Then they wonder why there’s so many empty seats and there’s no atmosphere. Go figure. I hate not going. I really miss the buzz of walking up those few steps to see the inside of the stadium and the pitch. Now I just watch it on telly and listen to my rag mates laugh at the emptyhad. But at least that’s all they can laugh at now to deflect away from how superior we are on the grass.

Agreed mate. All people have to do is look at our gates over the years. Current attendances are fantastic, as is the constant growth.

That does not mean there were 73k in the ground, just because the official website says so, especially if they have a compulsory purchase scheme. From the pictures I saw, there were plenty of empty seats.Are you kidding me?
