The CL is not that exciting in its early stages.
Groups are boring and are used to guarantee TV companies a certain number of matches involving the big teams. They are not for football reasons. The CL had two group stages for a few years and TV audiences slumped so they scrapped the idea.
The competition should go back to a straight knockout format for maximum crowd excitement.
In any case I see no reason for City fans to pack the stadium uncritically, regardless of the cost of tickets and the importance of the match.
That's what happens across the city where the fans would even turn up to watch the grass grow.

I take exception to the use of the word FANS when taking about the vermin who go there.

So SS3 will be closed after all and Celtic are only getting about 1600-1800 tickets then? Yeah right, course they are City! Either that or it's only the normal away section of SS3 that's open and Celtic are getting the bog standard 3000 tickets
It'll be the full away section then they will open the rest of SS3 if everywhere else looks close to selling outSo SS3 will be closed after all and Celtic are only getting about 1600-1800 tickets then?

Hasn't the club got form for closing sections and throwing out ST holders from their seats then, when demand increases, mysteriously opening up sections again to other people?
You been to Newcastle and Sunderland
Good point. The City fans chucking smoke bombs on fans below at Newcastle I guess you are referring to. We have never been below opposition fans at those two grounds, but if you have ever been to Old Trafford you may see fans get hit in the away end from fans above of the opposing team, it was bottles of yellow sun tan lotion in 2008 at the start of the game. I would not want to be on the 2nd tier SS for the Celtic game. A bit of piss doesn't hurt anyone, but I prefer not to be under it.
Right.
We sold 40,000 in the play off 2nd leg, which was a dead rubber game.
Yet City don't think we'll sell out for a match against Celtic, along with the good priced bundle.
Madness!
Once again City are messing fans about, and moving fans because........?
What really is going on?
