FA Cup SF Draw | Nott'm Forest | Sun 27 April 16:30 | ITV1

The "work" was when we had 16k season ticket holder a quarter if a centaury ago and excludes OL6's a couple of miles from the current stadium but includes Westhoughton in M46.

Westhoughton is a special place as it’s the home of Franny Lee!

 

[TinFoilHat]

As long it is neutral ground then it doesn't matter how many miles between the clubs, Cardiff Glasgow or any other big grounds should be used, What did it use to be ?? The FA Cup, The Road to Wembley

I wanted our semi with the rags played at Elland Rd for extra piss boiling.

The data shows that 6678 of 16481 Manchester City season ticket holders had M post codes in 2001, it follows that a lower proportion lived in city of Manchester.

I would argue that by 2025, the proportion has likely fallen further hence the no. of locals who come to the games in midweek.

I don’t think you know the difference between Manchester and Greater Manchester. Nor are you aware of the increasing city centre population that has happened since 2001.

Anyway by your measure I am sure most big PL teams only have a small percentage of supporters on their doorstep so I look forward to Arsenal and Chelsea fans trekking up to the new “Wembley of the North” when it’s built* for their semifinals and being overjoyed about it.

*When hell freezes over.

I would have at least considered it very seriously because if they build that stadium then your children, and grandchildren will likely be living in a world where Man Utd will be top dog again.

Infrastructure upholds superstructure.

Are spurs top dog since building their new stadium. I guess you got out of bed the wrong way this morning

 

[Franny 1234]

It’s worked for Spurs though just look how their new huge ground has led to them dominating English football.

Well said Albert

Most of our seasoncard holders no longer live in Greater Manchester and a significant number now live in the South and South East. For those that travel from the North, a game at Wembley is expensive but I keenly anticipate them and look forward to FA Cup semi-final day every season. We're so lucky to have been to a Wembley semi-final 7 times in 7 seasons. That is perhaps Pep's finest achievement. It shows the level of success and dominance of the English game that City have enjoyed.

My train is booked. It's just 2 short hours. And at the end of it a familiar friend lies in wait with all those memories just like Maine Rd and and the Etihad. There's those familiar steps down Wembley Park Tube onto Wembley Way, and at the end the gigantic inner bowl of Wembley where the game will all unfold. I love the anticipation of this day.

Thank you Pep and City for taking us there yet again.

Considering City Matters can’t even get information from the club about Season Tickets, it’s fucking impressive that you know that ‘Most of our seasoncard holders no longer live in Greater Manchester and a significant number now live in the South and South East’.

Westhoughton is a special place as it’s the home of Franny Lee!

There was a young girl from Westhoughton
Who had one great big tit and one short one
And on top of all that
A big hairy twat
And a fart like a 500 Norton.

May be rivals that day bit I feel sorry for the forrest fans with this shitshow now that day after this announcement today

Philippa Cresswell, EMR's customer experience director, said: "Unfortunately, customers should expect delays, queues, and standing.
"[Passengers] should know that if the semi-final was to go to extra-time, the number of services back to Nottingham are very limited.
"We advise those not attending the match to travel after [14:00 BST] from Nottingham and before [19:00] from London to avoid peak times.

The FA put on coaches for City and Liverpool in 2022, I hope they can do that again.

Arsenal's is much better and bigger with a smaller capacity as they have better space standards, they used to win the league now and again before moving there, 19 years and counting now.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Inter and AC Milan share a stadium. Did the identity of City fans change when we moved from Maine Rd to COMs?

It's different. I know it's not ideal. I was referencing it as a way of destroying any competitive advantage that they would gain in owning a 100k stadium. And remember that there would have been huge advantages to us over other clubs. You don't have to worry though as it's not happening. At least I gave you something to vent about on Derby day morning.

The identity changes as soon as it’s their stadium instead of City’s or United’s stadium.

On the subject of post code boundaries

I lived in Greater Manchester for almost 30 years before going to bed one night and then discovering the following morning that my postcode had changed and I was now a resident of Derbyshire

I do believe that the population of nearby Glossop are currently debating the merits of making the opposite journey

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Fucking hell Marvin. What makes me laugh is you are trying to sound educated when infact all you sound like is a plastic tarquin rag snivelly little ****.
Anyway. I'm off to the swamp today. Wonder if I should do a quick survey outside to ascertain if those rag twats would like to groundshare?
Take a nap Marvin, get some more bitty you misinformed rag wum

Postcodes are to help deliver post. They are sod all to do with where you live.

I never said they were mate.

I was just adding a bit of glibness to a tedious subject

 

[malg]

It's not going to happen but given a choice between:

1. A 100,000 Old Trafford and 62,000 Etihad, and
2. A single jointly used stadium

I'd seriously consider a joint stadium simply to destroy the competitive advantage which they might enjoy. The best solution is an option 3. where City further expand the Etihad.

Depends on how many fans you think will turn up week in week out for us. No point having 100,000 seats if you can only sell around 65,000.


And it would still be their home.

Lazio average 40K in a 70K shared stadium, Roma 60K, but it’s always full on derby day
