Jim Beglin commenting "Emptyhad" on Live TV | City lodge complaint (pg 38)

[Jimmieblue]

He should be thankful the sponsors haven’t come down on him big time, wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he isn’t still worried they might.

I was there :)

Different era completely when most stadiums where half full. City we’re still always in the top three best supporting clubs on average

 

[trevorriley]

all clubs will go through a worse patch than this as fans chose games they go to and the clubs make everything about getting to a game more difficult.

attendances will look higher than they are as we go off tickets sold, then again we are going through a time where statistics and figures are a complete farce.

Agree.

Every club has the same problem with empty seats and atmosphere. As Gorton says its only City that this is pointed out plus our transfer fees. That's why Beglin said it, it's now subconsciously in their minds. Commentators have called us utd on tv, happens more than I would like. The press/media keep saying utd are in Manchester clearly a lie.

It is now becoming very expensive to get to matches with higher petrol costs, household cost, food, heating etc the premier inn for midweek games lol.

The Fulham gane is a Saturday, 3pm kick off. One way of addressing the subconscious is to answer emphatically in the conscious.

of course there are empty seats at most or even all grounds but these Clubs haven’t driven a coach and horses through the status quo.

How people spend their money is their own choice but it’s always good to see a full house. Especially, at the Cup games where there are families just happy to be at the match and not worrying about empty seat jibes.

Get to the game isn't the answer. I've watched utd in the cup playing with half empty stadium. Last night's game Brighton wad half empty. Lfc s atmosphere is so bad they have a thread dedicated to it.

City are the only club targeted. We could fill the stadium more than anyone else we will still get the jibes.

Going to the game is a big part of the answer because that’s what a passionate fan base does. Not every fan to every game of course.

I don’t worry about the other Clubs or a few empty seats. I just like to see good support for the lads at the match.

Part of the answer to what? Our lack of support? Or the media stopping singling us out as not turning up? I dont understand are you saying we dont turn up therefore we deserve the pisstakes?

I turn up to support the team.

Full house attendances make it harder for snide comments to get reactions.

i don’t know what you are on about regarding, “deserving the piss takes”.

Telling fans to turn up (as if we dont?) will not solve any issues with a media intent on telling lies. Our support is very good when compared to all other teams.

Hahahahahaha. Lolololol

Yep, that’s really really funny . .

But the fact remains that we have higher average crowds and higher average seat occupancy than liverpoo do . . but the deluded scouse feral constantly berate our attendances (which are better than theirs) and some gullible idiots believe them -
if you don’t believe that then wait until you’ve recovered from your bout of inappropriate hilarity and check the facts .
