Fantastic effort that our away support will top 20,000 for a pre-season friendly in the middle of the holidays. I can't wait.

Can’t believe Chelsea haven’t sold out yet because I’d Wembley was in Manchester we would of sold out pretty early.

Well how is it the rags get a big following when they play darn sarf?

You know the answer to that so wasted post.

Merely replying in a jocular way to your previous post which made a supposition that we would fill Wembley if closer. Yes, they may well have less far to travel to Wembley than the average City fan, but that was the point of my comment. Not a "wasted post", imo.
(I could also point out that your post makes no sense grammatically, but I'm not like that. And it's Have, not Of.) ;-))

Just to put it clearly, it’s because they have thousands and thousands of fans down south.

When a local Rag season ticket holder doesn’t attend, there’s another one waiting across the country to pick up the slack.

We don’t have all those reserves in our ranks.

Thanks.

I wasn’t sure, as it’s a "friendly", but then again, two years ago, it was a major trophy.

Title. Get it right ;-)

The rags couldn’t fill their end for their FA Cup Semi Final versus Everton a few years ago. We sold extra tickets when we played Arsenal a year later (even though the media criticised our “slow sales”).

Ha ha, come on now mate you are exaggerating big time. It was only 30 years, unless you missed the FA Cup final and replay in 81 !? 'Im going on sunday and looking forward to it.

Apologies you are right. I clearly don’t count 81 as we lost so I have obviously erased it from my memory
