FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

Never thought I would ever miss a trip to Wembley to see the Blues but lost my job now on min wage my spurs ticket was over 10 percent of my take home pay so that's the way it is now so to all the smug twats talking about empty seats fuck off or pay my bills and I will attend more

i'm with you mate, i just cant justify the expense for such games at the moment, i'd love to go but i ain't going under for it
 
When we don’t sell out we have no fans. When we do we are all new fans and plastics.... we can’t win

I think it’s shown that our core fan base is very much working class and from the greater Manchester area.we do not have the same fan as was other teams. Nothing to be ashamed of. I actually prefer it


There’s a world of difference between Liverpool and City core support
There’s only Utd & Liverpool in England who have the volume of supporters countrywide who can be relied upon to snap up any tickets
Spurs Chelsea & Arsenal have the London tourists to pick up the slack whereas City are mainly a localised fan base and simply haven’t picked up any meaningful tourist support in this country yet. Tourists in the north west will still go to Liverpool & Utd first as that’s where the history is.

At City it’s generally the same people who are going to all the games,the away games especially with the loyalty points making getting tickets very difficult for new or younger supporters but the city is a relatively poor one so it’s understandable that people have to start picking and choosing the games they go to
I’ve spent over £8k this season just on tickets travel and accommodation,it’s a very expensive hobby

I think there should be more understanding on why there are so many empty seats,the average working man just can’t afford to go to every game

I’m at Wembley Saturday ticket & train £120
Spurs on Tuesday ticket & train £140
Palace next Sunday ticket & train £110

£370 in a week on just tickets & travel

Exactly. 1999 semi replay at villa park had a total of 30k there at the height of their Reign. Funnily enough it’s never mentioned....

But let’s not get too preachy here. The crowd for the 1995 FA Cup semi-final replay at Villa Park between Manchester United and Crystal Palace was 17,987. United had a crowd of only 23,368 for a home game against Wimbledon in 1989.
 
I know that. I’m a bit irritated I got drawn into commenting on him when I have no respect for his football opinion!

I know exactly what you mean, when he wrote pieces for the MEN he lived in Barcelona and claimed he was a Spanish football expert, ha.
Nothing more than a rag fanzine writer who hated City.

You don’t need to justify it to anyone.

The rest of your life is more important than football.
