You're wrong, it's evidence many of our supporters con't drop everything to rearrange a game in 10 days, especially if they have already lost money when the first game was called off. Not everyone can rearrange work at short noticeI think it’s evidence that we have a lot of apathetic supporters.
Those who were stuck in traffic will just love you adding to their being pissed off for missing some or the whole of the match where they have been stuck on a motorway with no way to get forward, turn off to get another route or to give up and go home.Sorry but I find the transport issues are just an excuse
Not to mention the teams wasting time especially goalies and feigned injuries. Not very exciting to watch to watch a goalie placing and replacing the several times or a group of people around a perfectly healthy player.I'm a plastic fan from 1970. I live 120 miles away and am a seasoncard holder. I didn't go last night but had travelled 20 miles before turning around for the postponed game. A midweek game means taking a halfday off work and getting home at 1 am. The drive up takes a good hour longer for a night game so after weighing it up chose the armchair option. But watching it last night made me think for the first time that it is the football that is dampening the enthusiasm. Don't get me wrong, we play some great stuff, but it's the other teams approach which is killing it as a spectacle. West Ham were so negative and seemed happy to take a 2 0 defeat and this seems to happen most weeks, even utd approached it that way but got lucky.
There are obviously numerous reasons why the attendance was lower last night, but it was MUCH lower than I’d imagined it would be!
There were swathes of empty seats.
There’s no way that was just down to people going on holiday or traffic issues. There will have been thousands who could have gone last night but could not be arsed.
Really ? You don't think cup runs and finals and European games might contribute.I cant imagine why Manchester City fans are more hard up than say Everton, dippers, rags, geordies or Villa.
True, fair point. Ignore my stupid comment.Really ? You don't think cup runs and finals and European games might contribute.
We just have to accept City's support as we knew it has gone. The passion in the main has evaporated destroyed by the incessant bile and negativity directed at the club and supporter base, apathy now prevails and Soriano and Co have a lot to answer for turning the Etihad into the 'Theatre of Cheese', we have arguably the oldest supporter base in the division and fans have had enough quite obviously, there is little or no fight left sadly.
