City vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach pre-match thread

[worsleyweb]

Just seen this. Is the ticket still going?

Hi malg - yes

Was going to say to Pablo , we have enough fans , tourist and day trippers are welcome, I don't have the hatred of them like some blues, but the reality is we are a huge club , but maybe we have a lot of fans that just can't be arsed.
For me we are in the top 4 biggest clubs in england , yet teams like spurs , west ham etc have bigger crowds in Europe, and are they bigger than City definately not, but what they have that we don't is fans that can be arsed , it just the way it is .

It wasn't really meant as a dig tbh, just fact of life when it comes to successful clubs. I alluded to the can't be arsed when I said we've got fans who pick and choose. It's the same thing really.
Would I like to see a full house every game? Of course. Does it upset me as much as it seems to do others? Not a chance. This season has already got me too excited to worry about those not turning up. They're missing out, not me. Plus my journey home will probably take half hour less..

Just checked. I had to log-in but they are still on sale. Ticket sales are terrible. I'm going, but I'm not looking forward to sitting in a half empty ground on CL night.

I just logged into the site to purchase a ticket in East L3 308 next to my dad and nephew but it is all greyed out. Fucking stupid.

Row d 241 and pretty sure it would be available as its a single vacancy. Would have to make a trip to the stadium tomorrow which I cannot do. Like I said its fuckin stupid.

There's normally plenty of away fans in and around me on CL nights as well as groups of school kids on freebies. It'd definitely be available - no idea why it's not on sale, mate.

Well, I was being a cock and sulking because I couldn't buy my own seat (SS Level 3) So intended on watching from home with a beer, I am happy to say I will now be at the ground watching with a beer in the Chairman's Club, happened twice now on Champs League nights! Lucky bastard, although I will have to wear my shirt under a shirt... Come on City

Rather have empty seats than all those tourists taking selfies every 2 mins

I find this rather baffling. City is a global club nowadays. There are fans from all over the world. For some that goes there, it might be the only time in their life going to the Etihad. What's wrong with the fact that they'd like to document their memories by taking selfies? After spending a bollocks amount of money traveling there, sure they're entitled to do that. Sure there are instances like the selfie sticks where it's bothersome for others. But other than that it's fair game me thinks. I just think it's not fair if we take foreign money from the sheikh but foreign tourists aren't welcomed?

It's a sporting event. Show up, root for the team, sing your face off and enjoy the show. Take pictures before or after the match or better yet throw more money into the club's coffers by taking a tour, which is excellent. During the match respect the match and watch it.
