great song!26thou was embarrasing.

I don't believe we had the crowd announced.

I reckon 19,000 at most and I was embarrassed.....

This is a forum for opinions - mine = the attendance last night was a joke.

best fans in the world? not even in manchester nowadays

You're right. The best fans in the world wouldn't slag off other fans of their team.

Agreed. We havent been the best fans in the world since I've been watching City. We were loyal when we had to be. Always slagging off the fans, or whichever player isn't the current scapegoat (I think we're on Caciedo at the moment?)

lol sad bastards.

I live 500 yards from the stadium and I still didn't go. My missus is out of a job and it would be irresponsible of me to spend a further £15.00 on a game that I can catch on T.V. Times are very, very hard for the majority of people right now. I people are still living with their parents and on JSA then great, get a ticket and go. If you've a good job and can afford to go, then great get a ticket and go. If, like me, life is a sruggle at the moment, living paycheck to paycheck and sit back and watch it on t.v. When times become a little easier I'll go.

People with this holier than thou attitude are complete pricks and not in touch with the real world.

Most posts on here understand your situation, its the fans who cannot be bothered to turn up with no valid reasons the problem. I know at least 5 people who could have gone last night but couldn't be a**ed.

are you prepared to pay £20 on petrol, £10 food and drink and £20 match ticket for me with very little in the bank atm? cause if you are your a diamond. thanks.

But isn't this their choice do you do everything that they want you to do?

So far, Ive seen one poster admit he couldn't be arsed. I think there was less of these people than you think. Even so, since when has it become a crime to not be arsed? Its nobody's business but theirs.

 

[Walshy]

I would have loved to have gone last night but I live outside Manchester, I have a job and a very young family.

I'm no cnut, I just couldn't get to the game.

I love City, and I admire and am jealous of those that made it to the game.

We are all Blues, can't we just accept that those that can get to games do so, and the others offer support where and when they can.

The days of standing in The Kippax were fantastic. In those days my only responsibility was getting my arse home in one piece after the match, but life moves on.

 

[jonmcity]

you will all want to go if we get to the final. i recomend tickets are given to those who have been away in europe first this season. followed by season ticket holders who have been to all home matches.

 

[kippax neil]

in taking some time off from this thread, tired of all the justifications

im sure i will see many in istanbul, and those who can't get tickets, tough shit

best fans in the world? not even in manchester nowadays

I've supported City and being going to matches since the mid seventies and I'm certainly not going to get apologetic for missing some matches for whatever the circumstances.

As for Istanbul, I'm on holiday at that time so I wouldn't be going anyway.

For years and years I've arranged and re-arranged my life around the fixture list. Not anymore, I've been let down too many times.

If we win the trophy I won't be any less excited when I'm getting pissed in paradise.

Ignore the snipers - I was dismayed at the low attendance but people have to remember there is a credit crunch on - Don't throw back the Villa game (Majority of those there were probably season ticket holders - Ticket was already paid for)

We should be encouraging our fans not having a go all the time - There's enough Man U b@st@rds on here to do that.

 

[BlueMooney]

20th place. we need to make season tickets include all cup games next season.

I don't think that's such a bad idea. BUT, you shouldn't be forced to buy cup tickets.

They should offer the option of paying an additional fee (depending on what cup competitions we're in) and activating season cards for all games.

Then, depending on how far we progress in the cup, it could be a significant discount on cup tickets if paid for in bulk at the start of the season.

Would it work? Not sure.

Two things. 1. I dont reckon we'll get to the final. 2. I bet we dont even sell out if we do.

Why only to the away legs - I would love to go to the away legs (been to all the home games) but can't afford to

As i said before WHY CAN'T WE ALL STICK TOGETHER - THE ENEMY IS ACROSS TOWN AT THE SWAMP - NOT OUR OWN FANS FFS !!!!

 

[Fanzone Danny]

Personally i was gutted witht the attendance last night but for me I was there so fuck it, we'll soon see everyone else turn up for the qtrs/semi's!

Another song i heard last nite and is a tribute to our personalities was ......

"we've won it 3 times, we've won it 3 tiiiiiiimmmmessss, the Thomas Cook trophy, we've won it 3 times ....."

Piss funny !!!!

 

[Moston_blue]

the attendance of 24,000 is a bit of a Joke considering its our only chance of winning a trophy after all these years and its the last 16. Seriously, I dont think some City fans want us to win this thing. I thought 38,000 was bad for the quarter final of the FA Cup against West Ham but last night was shocking.

All the excuses have come out in work today. Examples. I didnt finish work until 6.30 (I work in town) made me laugh.
It was £25 - buy early it was £20. They'll spend more than that in the pub on Saturday night.
One lad said "I should have gone really, after seeing all them empy seats" haha this was the best one.

Seriously though I think we have seen the hardcore at these UEFA Cup matches this year. Out of the 24,000 last night I wonder how many of them were there against Walsall, Reading and Colchester at home in the old Division 2. Give or take a few id say probably about 85%
