"Disappointing" attendances

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Strangely enough we were saying how long the players stayed out applauding us tonight and especially the fact that they approached the CB stand toward the SS. Normally because they go to the tunnel and off after acknowledging the East and Family stand they tend to just give a cursory round of applause in our direction but tonight came toward us. Kyle Walker in particular went almost all the way along the front of CB toward the SS corner. We rarely get that.

fair enough didn’t see that. They didn’t come over to the east stand.

Decent crowd in the end last night. Stu Brennan to blame for whipping up media hysteria with his article judging us before a ball is fucking kicked.

Good turnout in the end, bar the back of the 3rd tiers, and a few patchy areas in level 2.

Won’t be any criticism of City’s support tonight. That includes vocal support.

thought at times for a derby both supports were very subdued. Doesn't help United didn't come to play.

Blue Car Park absolute shambles again last night. Cars backing up down ATW and stewards trying to get cars to U-turn or cut across the inside lane meaning nobody could get in. The system has worked perfectly well for the last few seasons and for the last 3 matches they have cocked it up big style. Combined with street parking being a massive risk this is also now another factor in the attendance debate.

Glad we got to Wembley but there is still an empty feeling this morning. Pep will never learn what a derby means to us.

You think we lost because of Pep? We created countless chances and missed them, then decided to see the game out which was the right thing to do.

It's not Pep who needs to learn, it's you. The days of City's whole season riding on whether we beat United or not are well behind us.

Besides we did, we drew them in a 2 legged semi final, we're in the final.

Didn’t,t go tonight,the non movement of traffic round Cheadle and the M60 at Stockport was horrendous.Schools Hill in Cheadle to Morrison’s in Cheadle Heath nearly two hours.called it a day at 7:20 pm.So sorry for the poor attendance tonight blame me and my daughters,I apologise.Will stand in the naught corner.

Only post I've seen about this and thought loads would be impacted.
We were on Albert Rd Cheadle Hulme just after 6 and went Ladybridge Rd/Adswood Rd and got snarled in Edgeley.
Got to seats at 7.55.

Exactly, we have far, far more important games to play, including this weekend.
United are at this time a poor, top half of the table team and nothing more.

This is very true, and I include myself as I reverted to a stroppy teenager last night. Some habits are tough to lose.
