Was at one game at Maine rd a night match and the whole stadium was full. Couldn’t move in the kippax it was that rammed. Official attendance given by swales 40,000 real attendance easily 60,000+Lets also factor in the PJ Swales Maine Road attendances!
They were a minimum of 5k down on the real figure, and for many games the best part of 10k down.
I have certainly been in the Kippax when it was rammed, and the rest of the ground was full including the Platt Lane.Was at one game at Maine rd a night match and the whole stadium was full.

Sorry mate but you are missing the point. Our PR team can contact who they want to correct them, the mail, sky anyone. The fact is they will not correct it, they want this false information out there to feed the rags, dips etcThe annoying thing is the complete inaction by our PR/Media team yet again. No way was there 38000, it was more 45,000 and given that we had to allocate tickets for the away team and they brought no one actually makes it a decent crowd. But the incorrect reporting of 38k was not corrected and as usual is now stated by the media as fact.
The club could have put this to bed if we had a competent PRMedia team by stating the correct crowd and also pointing out it is one of 3 home games in 10 days along with the travel issues so actually happy with the crowd.
Any from tonights crowd in the media, i hope they point out other crowds and its not just ours inc Barcelona last night. People have lost jobs, prices everywhere going up, lots of people just do not have the resources for 3 games in 10 days.
Rags have given away plenty of tickets for their game and they are playing a PL team. Remember when they laughably claimed a certain crowd before which was so inflated even the police released a statement saying it was not true.
And lets not forget the Charlton Promotion game, 60k plus easily in that dayWas at one game at Maine rd a night match and the whole stadium was full. Couldn’t move in the kippax it was that rammed. Official attendance given by swales 40,000 real attendance easily 60,000+
My lad's taught in Salford for the last 7 or 8 years, they regularly get offered 9 kids tickets for one paying adult for cup matches.Buy 1 adult 4 kids free isnt it for them?
So Pep didn't have a go about attendances?. City get 52 thousand plus for home league games the manager should be praising the fans. Personally I think he's fed up.The press said Pep started it and you've swallowed it.
