Correct. We were in 238. The City regulars up there were in the mood and in full voice.& we all stayed to the end all the family stand (who are sometimes criticised) clapped, cheered the players lots of singing way beyond full time whistle.
Why not just be in the cup scheme? I appreciated it can be a financial decision for some but not the lads i go with who dip out because they cant be bothered with the league stages. Cant then moan that its a hassle getting a ticket for one of the biggest games in the clubs history.
The group stages are the slog for the big games. Just like supporting city through years of shit was the slog for the current success
i agree past cl game attendance shouldve countedI don’t agree mate. The sales criteria was different for the Bayern game and plenty of other games. You had to have a previous history of attending games to get tickets.
Plenty of people went to every champions league game and couldn’t get a ticket, yet people who are Madrid fans/ there for a day out had the same chance at a ticket. All they had to do was buy a citizen membership. I don’t think that’s fair
I should think everyone loved it last night, and I’m sure you know perfectly well what a tourist looks like. Doesn’t make his point any less valid. There must have been thousands of other Blues who’d like to have enjoyed it as well, but couldn’t get tickets, because half the ground was full of day trippers. I’ve genuinely never seen anything like it at the Etihad last night. Walked around the ground before kick off, got asked for directions half a dozen times and witnessed Madrid fans, shirts on full display, queuing at every turnstile.
That was one of the biggest and greatest games we’ve ever had at City and, whilst the atmosphere was excellent, it’s a pity that more long term City fans didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy it
No they can afford tickets at rip off prices from 3rd parties not to mention flights hotel souvenirs etc. The tourists we get look filthy rich to meNo, they wouldn't go on the cup schemes
You “think”? Ah ok, turn it into a negative why don’t youI think it was a great atmosphere looking back at is however not sure if true but i think i saw a few empty seats around 209/210 last night. if my thoughts were true then this exemplifies how bad the ticketing fiasco actually was
