based on current population figures that would make almost 8.5% of the worlds population rag fans, given that tickets are plentiful at the swamp and they arent the most watched team on tv what do you think the likelihood of that actually us, even taking out those things from just a pure logic standpoint even if you define fan in its broadest possible terms what do you think the likelihood of 8.5% of the whole world supporting one team who had a decent period in the 90s and 2000s and in the 90s and has been largely anonymous in the intervening years.

Surely you've not heard the news the green and gold are revolting !

Have you really seen 20,000 empty seats at the swamp?

few times

Have you really seen 20,000 empty seats at the swamp?

Some games yes. It's a lot harder to see there though due to the angle of the roof, covering the upper tier.

And the utd story disappears off the sky news app, not even up for 24 hours.
Bear in mind sky sports news app completely blanked it, never happened in their eyes.

And what is their yellow ticker tape big story now?

Arsenal mardarse signs a new contract!
Bigger news than the rags huge losses?

You bet it is.

A sour Rony slagging off poundland Pep is bigger news despite it being 3 days old.

I think there was 3000 vacant at the last game.

There is a big gap in the market for one. It would be a success.

Doesn't the BBC charter preclude other stations that promote an alternative to Dan Roan editorials?

Tut tut, where's the sick swan version..?

With the lights turned off too

I accept City do it. You said you have never seen an empty swamp seat. If Gmp are reporting 20k not sitting in a 73k stadium I would suggest there are quite a few empty seats.

TBF they half filled OT for the recent legends match, although most of that was Rooney

Just had a shufty at the BBC footy page. Apparently Bettancur has been charged with 'slurring' his team mate Son! I expect the fine to be exactly to the penny that they stung Bernardo with! Eight grand IIRC!

My Swindon Town-supporting mate asked me if I'd seen the piccy of Rooney in his 4XL shirt! 4XL, I said? That'd be two 4XLs sewn together.

It will probably be less than half that?

Seats are so close together at the swamp, it's hard to tell if the one in-between is empty or not.

Beat me to it, try going for a piss during a game

Probably laying foundations to try and get DeBruyne for daring to be upset with some of his team mates after Belgium's loss to France

 

[Maly]

Haha very good, but I reckon you won’t find one at kick off

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Even better, different examples of "youth players" who they signed as teenagers. Rafael and Fabio helped keep that myth of a run together at times I believe

It's another example of their new wonder kids were going to change football.
However, they turned out to be just a snidey, shady version of the Chuckle Brothers...

 

[Platt Lane 59]

Have you really seen 20,000 empty seats at the swamp?

Yes, think it was 4-1 at the time...

TBF that could quite easily be the Etihad. Hard to swallow that, being thumped 5-0 by a big rival.

 

[Shirley]

Which do you think is telling the truth, the rags or the dibble ?
You have said you haven't seen empty seats at the swamp. The dibble say otherwise. Who do you believe?

My own eyes
