Had to make an honourable mention of Jeremy Cross of the DailyStar on yesterdays Sunday Supplement. This clown hates City with a passion, and a sneering snide comment is only seconds away if the subject veers on to City.
His last appearance on there left the other guests open mouthed when he stopped them praising blues for travelling to Moscow instead slagging them for not selling out Bayern away.
Yesterday it was the usual 'why would any top manager player want to go to City'.
Gets tiring the City cant fill their stadium\sell tickets etc. Last night on Talksport on the Press Pass Paddy Barclay was at it saying City expanding stadium but have trouble selling their existing 48,000 seats, whereas Arsenal have a 60,000 stadium they fill each game.
I bet when people watch on TV they do not realise that often the large gaps behind the goal in the South Stand are away allocation. Most clubs of course hide away away fans up in a corner somewhere.
Interesting when West Ham have a 54,000 stadium from 2016\2017 season onwards, after the novelty of the first few months\season, if they will fill it out all the time. Similarly with Spurs when they build a new stadium.
All teams now have games when there are empty seats, yet it seems only City have this pointed out when they play.
Cannot blame any fans not going if cost is simply to great. Anyone with tickets who cannot go to any particular game should try and pass it on whenever possible.
Think City have made a mistake with the price increase for next season, and although it is wishful thinking, it would be great for the club if they do something good, in that if\when they extend the North stand and add another tier, they say OK this stand development is simply to get more fans in, and they make all season tickets there say £ 380 - £ 400 i.e. working out at around £ 20 a game for a 19 game home Premier League season. By the time of any North Stand development the extra corporate added with the new south stand development and changes to Level 2 East and Level 2 Colin Bell stand should surely be enough to perhaps think of making such a gesture to City supporters.
