Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

38k? Bollox! Is Peter Swales doing the counting?

I'm genuinely surprised at this

I don't think Pep's comments are anywhere near as bad as some are making out. It's not like he's calling out individual fans asking why they didn't come. City are a working class club and obviously few of our fans can afford to make it to every game, but that alone doesn't excuse it. Look at it from his perspective- you're the best manager in the world who's worked for five years to make the team the best in the world, and you're still having big issues with attendance and atmosphere.

He's not trying to make any fan who couldn't afford to come feel guilty, hell, I'm one of those. He probably just feels that we should be able to sell 55k tickets to a UCL home game. I'd be frustrated too.

It's likely that if we don't win his last home game the place will be half-empty while he makes his farewell speech either way...

Looked like the attendance started off poor but seemed full when the game properly kicked in! Seen some vids of the stadium looking full aside from the leipzig section

Colin Bell 3rd tier was the only place with a few empties from what I could see in SS L3.

Looked almost full apart from RB section on the TV. Maybe some empties in the back on L3, but nothing that suggested 15k empty seats.

Oh I see, I didn't realize the junior one was different. So you can't buy a ticket with that membership?

You can but no earlier than anyone else and not for big games. That's if I've understood it properly.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I'd have put the crowd at 45K+ easily.

38,062 according to the BBC. Looked like more in the stadium to me, but still not a bad crowd in the circumstances.

Do the club give an official attendance or have the BBC taken that from a figure on some sports website? The pictures of the game show a few gaps, but not that many.

Chelsea at home in January. Have a look online at the prices. Literally just a handful of pitch side seats priced at £50 and the rest are mainly £63 with some in the 2nd tier £80. Most kids tickets are £40

So what you are saying is most of them are £65 and most have gone have gone and the expensive 93:20 seats are £80 and theres a few of those left, plus a handful of £50 seats. There are no games with normal seats at £80, just the 93:20 seats.

There was loads of empty seats and I would have estimated the attendance around 40k.
