City v Leicester - 18 Jan 7:45pm - Official match thread.

[CITY FOR LIFE]

Hi, Leicester fan in peace.

Was just wondering how many tickets you've sold.

We've nearly sold all our 6K allocation, and expect them to be sold tomorrow.

How many do you expect to be sold?

Many Thanks,

Dave.

Welcome, great turnout by your fans by the way, 6000 just after all the Christmas games and a week night, true support.

please not jo

Why not? Mancini has already stated he will play and that's all that matters. SWP and Ade will probably not play, Dzeko ineligible and Balotelli injured. Drop Jo and have 3 attacking players instead of four and look defensive. He gives us an aerial presence upfront as Silva, Tevez and AJ are all relatively short and i'd rather have him on the left in place of Milner. Works for the team and seemingly does as the manager wants hence why he keeps getting picked. I honestly don't care about or get this rabid hatred for the lad and i just hope the crowd don't get stupid and start booing him when he touches the ball tomorrow.

hope it's not a Notts Forrest repeat, seemed like they had nearly half the stadium and it really helped them (along with Didier Hamann).

 

[kippax23]

would never boo a city player just hope he dont play
ariel presence dont understand

we've sold about 30,000 as of this afternoon if we get many more I would be surprised. 6,000 is excellent.

I notice that some champs teams like Leicester Leeds Derby NF etc get very good away crowds better then many prem teams Wolves bought 2,000 on Saturday Bolton (and you can get a bus in 10 mins to manchester) only 1,300 and Blackburn came in a taxi just a few hundred
