38000 is a good crowd for a midweek league cup tie,some blues need to stop falling for this fuckin empty searts shite,the attendance will be the biggest of all four quarter finals,to put things into perspective i remember playing Juventus in UEFA cup in the late 70's and guess what the crowd was yep 38 000.I was there and you are correct, it wasn`t brilliant.
When I saw the stadium from 115, my feeling was they should have again closed one of the two level 3 areas and focused on filling the rest of the ground. Other than one deserted tier, it would have looked much better then I think with more down on level 1 (which was horribly empty in parts). Empty seats aren't a huge deal for many fans, but if it was my company/brand I would be very conscious of it if, like City, I was trying to appeal to fans from around the globe who might be attracted to what they see as the romantic side of football (English fan culture, etc.).
And to add to the "fun" the M602 was closed last night at 9pm for roadworks ! Just bloody fantastic and added 40 mins to my journey home. GrrrrrrGiven that our wonderful City Council and their brilliant planning have decided to dig up all the major roads in and around Manchester whilst other major metrolink and motorway work is going on - there should be a moratorium on attendence self flagilation threads.
Nothern power house my arse whilst such incomprehensible decisions are being made. Unless you're a cyclist that is, then half of every road will soon be yours.

Correct, I there that night as well. I would be surprised if there was 38,000 in the stadium last night though. I know people in the cup scheme who did not go, so I imagine that was replicated elsewhere.38000 is a good crowd for a midweek league cup tie,some blues need to stop falling for this fuckin empty searts shite,the attendance will be the biggest of all four quarter finals,to put things into perspective i remember playing Juventus in UEFA cup in the late 70's and guess what the crowd was yep 38 000.

Our average crowd in the league this season 53,920 ish. Good up crowds.
Thought it was great last night.
Loved the new chairs in 93.20 as well.

So £58 a ticket is ok I am not talking about families with season tickets but the ones who don't have them the fans will vote with there feet and stay awayYes i agree, but the families know this when getting the season ticket. I agree it could be too expensive for them on top of everything but i think the club do enough to try to keep that expense down and shouldn't be expected to price tickets lower than they already are.

It is only 58 pounds for big games and we have sold out all of them.
