Empty seats in north stand/family stand

[liamctid]

Baffles me, every home game this season has been a sell out yet when you are at the ground there appears to be droves of empty seats in the north stand only. Is there any particular reason ? People that aren't city fans must think out support is pathetic when watching motd as you can see them all empty.

we have a fair few who walk round to 111 and stand in our & others rows with their kids

This.........And not just 111..

If you told everyone to sit in 116 & 117 there would be a hell of a lot left standing!!!

Defo. There's about 12 people to 5 seats near me.

Level 1 is the family stand,I sit there all 9 of us,they did narrow it this season by a block each side.

re the directors box empty seats, this is the same throughout corporate. From Level two just take a look how few corporate boxes are full. It has improved since the start of the season when many appeared empty but there are still few people in the external seats.
This must be a worry for our owners.

The attendance figures are nonsense imo.

I find it very hard to imagine that there are, at every single game, so many people with season tickets who don't attend. Every single game. In virtually every stand apart from the South Stand. Large numbers of seats dotted about everywhere empty. It doesn't add up.

And if there really are so many clowns buying up tickets and then not using them (and we are not talking not being able to make the odd match, we must be talking people virtually never using them to justify the number of empties at every match) then I have a hard time thinking that they are not tossers.

Yes, they are free to do what they want with their cash, but it prevents genuine fans getting to games.

And where were these 'I have a season ticket but never use it' merchants at Maine Road. Cos the same thing didn't happen there for sell outs. Are they all glory hunters?

Anyway, I can't imagine this being the case. I can't get my head around that sort of attitude in the quantity that it would need to be occurring to justify the empties.

every seat is always sold out in the family stand but i don,t know if people are aware that,after all the crowd trouble before,during and after the first home game with swansea a large number of our fans in the family stand we,re served with banning orders,i think it was the under 5,s.

it seemed to have a few empty seats in the first half but seemed full in the second half???

this family stand was a fucking awful idea. change it back next season.

and there were a few blokes in 116 that clearly had just walked round.

This is my first posting. I got loads of stick yesterday by my son who is a rag about the large number of empty seats in north stand. It reflects poorly on City support. I am from N Ireland and all my friends are either Liverpool or Utd supporters and all they ever talk about is the empty seats at City.They never believe we ever sell-out the ground. I was at the Bayern game and there were empty seats in North stand. Any reason?

If so they should have their season cards taken off them. They payed for a ticket in the north stand and only paid £95.00 for the pleasure of taking their child. It's no different to buying a seasoncard in the north stand where it is cheaper and sitting in the colin bell stand every game. Scrotes.

CITC, City scouts, youth contacts, etc get tickets for free in the North Stand, and they are not always used, and results in empty seats in the north stand
