Either that, or they added back the 7000 who were not accounted for against Leipzig...

Sounds more likely. Reckon there were 25k last night. And Wycombe brought more than Southampton and Norwich

Just to say whoever it is on the live football page on the BBC website today is a blue, keeps calling City “we”, is reminiscing about Wycombe beating us in 1999 and the shame of his brother choosing to support United.

So, it’s not all bad.

I noticed that as well, he also said in a family of City fans so obviously his brother is the outcast! :-)

27k

Correct, I wonder what the gate would be if they were playing the Spanish equivalent of Wycombe?

Sky's youtube comments on the highlights of the game are full of bitters, as are the comments on the BBC sports page of the game. The media seem to have successfully weaponized even the fans without a dog in the fight into hating City. I've never understood what a lower league fan gets out of bashing City. Why are they following United and Liverpool agendas so militantly?

They're getting paid handsomely for it

Oh the media are getting plenty out of it no doubt(funding from the clubs and revenue from clicks etc IMO) but why do these other fans comply so wilfully? Somewhere to vent their frustrations in life out?

When the reds from Trafford and Liverpool are harmonious and have a common enemy in us, then you know what the real issue is. Its fuck all to do with seats.

I never got that about the whole booing Sterling thing. Why would fans of a lower league team boo a player because of bad feelings about leaving his old club. Didn’t make Sense. Still doesn’t

Must have counted all those on cup scheme who didn't show...

I would say 31,000 was about right. The bottom two tiers hold about 34000 when full. Wycombe had probably 800 in their top tier section as well. An excellent turn-out all things considered.
