I agree we are all blues and should stand together but the blues who say no one should mention how poor the attendance was last night has to be be because they are ashamed. I understand all the different excuses etc however I dont expect blues to come on and explain themselves. If you didnt go because you couldnt be arsed then my thoughts are you probably felt ashamed watching last night but other than that blues who didnt go shouldnt have to explain yourselves. I have to say if we were playing AC Milan and, before anyone says I know theyve gone out, we would have had at least 40 thousand there credit crunch or no credit crunch. It was a really poor attendance which annoyed me at first but once the game got under way I couldnt care less because I was there and I watch the blue boys turn it on. As I tell all the pub going rags I come across, nothing beats going to the game but that is something they will never understand.

This is a forum so blues having a go at other blues for moaning about the attendance need to stop reading forums as this is where people come to air their views.

great song!26thou was embarrasing.

just seen all this going on, and its probably all abit tired now, but will add my opinion anyway.

I didnt go last night and to be honest the only home UEFA games Ive been to are the one at Barnsley and FCK last time.
However I made a conscious choice to miss the homes so had a few more quid for aways - and that was spent going to Cyprus and Germany. If we can and do get Ajax - I will go there , likewise with the final.
I do feel ashamed not to turn up. But money is tight. Ive got a ST as have my 2 lads. So the league is covered, but gota be careful with what I spend beyond that. For us to have gone last night would have cost £50+ all in. Id rather have that on account for the next away

Im not sure what age of the OP is - but when you got committments, city just cant come above everything else.

I played futy last night and didnt wear anything with city on, beacuse Ive ridiculed so many reds out in their colours when they are playing at home - and to do the same myself makes me cringe. Saw from 15 mins in and didnt leap about when SWP scored for the same reason.

Win the lottery and will never miss a game again.
Til then just got to apply some sense
Dont think Im a cvnt because of this though

i can understand mate, i wasnt trying to single anyone out, i was just frustrated that everyone crys out for european football and no one turns up!

my mate goes to all the euro away matches and none of the home ones, its at home where we need support the most!

its also very hard to now argue that we have better fans than villa and spuds, because their fans turn up to these matches

To be fair I don't think everyone has been crying out for UEFA Cup football.

Champions League crowds would be a different story.

i think we should do what they do in the swamp and put people on a compulsary European cup scheme.

I watched it on the TV and, as it happens, I am a first class ****, although I think that is just a coincidence.

Tbh I did watch it on T.V last night but was dying to go but had no choice as the Nhs don't allow days off for city games! It's pathetic the Nhs should be sued because a rag wants a day off for the game because they are playin timbuctwo in the donald duck championships they are granted it!!! So it's not the fact that people don't want to go it's just sometimes they can't go

 

[Tom_mcfc]

i watched it at home so that means everyone who went last night are bigger and better fans than me

 

[dw7]

i watched the last 20min on telly cause i was in college still bought a ticket to get the point cause i wont be watching the final if city get there on tv

NO this should not happen, we should never have to pay for games we can't attend which are outside the league fixtures, I for one was dissapointed about last nights attendance, but can't really say much as I didn't go.

Here comes my excuse, Ive recently moved to London and have missed the last few mid week home games, as it would be a 70 squid 7 hour round journey. But if I'd been in Manc you can bet your bottom dollar I would have been there.

We have to remember we just at the start of something big attendances will come! But after going to Shalke and Copenhagen and seeing there home support it is a tad embarresing!

I've been to every home UEFA game this season. Why?

Because I can be bothered even though my finances are stretched ATM, but more importantly, I want to accumulate as many points as I can so I can get a UEFA Cup final ticket if we reach the final. The irony will be that some of those fans who haven't bothered going to to UEFA Cup games may miss out on a final ticket because they haven't got enough loyalty points and will have to pay through the nose for a final ticket, when they could have bought one at face value if they had attended the UEFA Cup home games and got enough loyalty points that way.
