I'm the same - picked City when they won the FA Cup in '69 - as an 11 year old, without a club nearby - an early glory hunter, perhaps - then endured 40 years of pain & disappointment - but once chosen I couldn't swap. It's still a 7 hour drive to the Etihad and back and I only get to half the games - but I never leave before the final whistle - although I always feel bad at then hurrying away - I do envy those who live locally and don't have that need (and I'm always surprised / disappointed at locals leaving early - why would you?)

They all leave early because they're scared of their wives. Don't want to get in trouble for being out all day.

not sure I necessarily agree with what your saying on the people moving point, those local fans are still there in huge numbers. they haven’t all just left

I’m going to bet the vast majority of fans attending on Saturday will be from greater Manchester. It’s all to do with price and day. Even if it’s not city fans attending you can’t beat that pricing

Get the pricing and kick-off times right and the fans will come.

Or they are reliant on the next to useless Metrolink.

I don't think so

Who are you going for?

Best thing to do is have a pint or two at City square then get on the met. If you're not in a rush to get home it's not as awful.

I think we should play our usual strongest team, seeing they haven't played for over a week, too get the rhythm back for Brentford on Wednesday

Who in their right mind goes home after the match? Get to the pub and then go home when last orders has gone.
