Well there was 32000 there according to Google and you’ve said the capacity was 34,000.

And you said it was 32,000. Were you wrong?

You said 34,000, were you?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

You said 34,000, were you?

I said ‘iirc’ and if you’d read my subsequent interaction with @M18CTID i did acknowledge thst I was wrong about the 34,000 for reasons of Gene Kelly, so you’re fighting on a somewhat anachronistic hill.

So that’s a yes.

I was thinking off the top of my head, I went to every home game that season and often saw the away end empty.

If I got the Blackpool game wrong then so be it but the away end wasn’t a sell out, for sure.

You are both partially right. We did not quite sell out, averaging just over 28,000 but the capacity was around 32,000.

A lot of the sides in the 2nd div treated it as their cup final so brought very decent support, particularly as there were semi local sides like Wrexham, Stoke, Burnley, Blackpool etc.

The most telling, and impressive, fact about the average attendance was it was both higher than we averaged in the Prem in 1996 or Div 1 the following 2 seasons. To get two relegations in three seasons and see attendances rise was incredible.

It was a ‘yes’. I would have thought that was clear from what I posted. I don’t normally struggle to make myself understood.

I went to every home game that season too and the away end was never empty.

Have sky mentioned coins being thrown at Pep?

You know the answer to that.

City should have released a statment saying they were appalled with the actions of their fans endangering Pep.

City are too passive, and late, when it come to things like that.

If City fans had thrown coins at Klopp, City would have released a statement, rightly, condemining our fans though.

So we were probably within 10% of capacity for the season , a show of real fan loyalty for a club in free fall playing in the third tier and not a myth.

Full of yourself aren’t you?

 

[Citizen1961]

Hey folks. Comments are being made on the BBC match report stating that Man City are supporters of Putin. When I report them the moderators refuse to remove. I don't mind losing a match but to have those sort of comments levied at the club and for the BBC to condone them by allowing them to remain public is bang out of order.

what an idiot

 

[BTH]

Even for a deluded, dysfunctional, right-wing rag like the Torygraph it's truly baffling why they despise us so much and worship the ground Littlewoods walk upon, but "superb performance" from Alty Ant?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Full of yourself aren’t you?

Yep.

 

[fitzy blue]

Match of the day now starting with both panelists being very pleased to see City lose being liverpool and arsenal fans.
Looking forward to their unbiased views.

The telegraph absolutely hate us and worship the scousers.

Which is strange as the Scouse cunts spend half their time slagging of the telegraphs politics

You just knew MSM would be screaming about it from the rafters, and will continue to do so for ever.

Have sky mentioned coins being thrown at Pep?

Bbc website homepage currently shows no article about the game

i posted this the evening of the derby - bbc buried that game within hours

currently (11:26 sunday night) a massive picture of salah celebrating the winner earlier today adorns the bbc homepage 4th story down and is the main image on bbc sport.

A picture of Gomez during the game also adorns Garth’s team of the week where he says Joe should be in the plane to Qatar.

Quite a few saw the TAA handball right before it was hoofed up the other end for Liverpool to score from, but you know...

Our non existent PR department are absolutely fucking useless. As you say the scousers would have been all over this be it the other way around. I really have given up with them. We just allow ourselves to be the whipping dogs of the MSM.

The media makes it sound that everyone tells everyone else how much they earn.
I don't know what my mate's earn and they don't know my salary.
As long as they buy a round when it's their turn who cares.
