City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

Last season:
Napoli 48520
Shakhtar 45310
Feyenoord 43548

Lyon brought 600 away fans... there were train cancellations... the attendance was about right compared to last season's games.

It's 8 thousand down on last season. Empty seats in a home Champions League game is not healthy especially when there's 10,000 of them. I know there are some clubs like Barcelona who dip for some games but we are the only major English club that has a problem with attendances at the Champions League.

In the bad times, our support was the proudest and the only part of our club for which we could be proud. Now It sounds like some supporters are starting to rationalise that going to the games is no longer important.

Most blues have sacked off midweek games for the multitude of reasons already given and the champions league in particular, due to our treatment by UEFA. I think the lack of action on the coach attack and atrocious refereeing in both legs against Liverpool made a few more quit. Add to that the paltry allowance of tickets to finalists meaning many won't get to see us anyway even if we get there.

Rightly or wrongly many of our fanbase just don't like the competition and I don't see that changing probably for the next ten years at least.

Rather clashes with " Stand up if you love City" !!
 
On the Alty tram home from the Lyon match it was rammed, as we stopped at Cornbrook quite a few standing on the platform surged forward to force their way in. The poor bloke in the wheelcahir had no chance of getting on. If there had been room to raise your fist their would have been a fight, as it was it was just a very loud arguement about them charging into the tram crushing a youngster. Public transport cannot cope with evening matches. As it set off i heard a guy say that this is why he is thinking of sacking midweek matches, he was so fed up with the overcrowded trams.
Regent Rd/Mancunian Way is gridlocked for a year as they supposedly improve it and in general the car is a no no.
Buses are so poor and unreliable, trains never seem to run, certainly not from Bolton where my mates lad lives so to get 40k for a midweek match should be applauded not criticised and anyone that is sensitive to what the media says is going to be miserable for a hell of a long time.
