Re: Why did we have so many empty seats today?

The tier behind us was full of undercover rags, they sort of gave it away when they started celebrating the goals in the second half. Oh well, the blues that turned up today made themselves heard!

Didn't think you took your missus to the game?

Dont think i could do it to be honest. sometimes she drops me off and goes to asda to the shopping which i dont mind but anything more than that i couldnt do.

It was pretty clear to all , even yesterday , that a lot of City fans were gonna give this game a miss for varying reasons ....... it can hardly have been any real surprise to have seen a few empty seats today .......

and yes , there were a number of empty seats in the rags end too !

Well, just got back, there were large areas of empty seats predominently in the top tier of the City section, I would suggest 4 or 5 thousand but there were loads in the united section also, but not in blocks, just scattered about. The crowd was announced as 77,000 and something, 84,000 ish were at the semi and 86,000 at the final so not bad really considering money is tight. About 23,000 blues were there and on the way down we had a sad car count for us and them, gave up when it was 253 to City and 37 to United, at least we won that by a good margin...............

I thought they sold out?

Obviously there were empty seats galore in our end but unless my eyes are faulty I saw many empty seats in their end too?

I saw them too .......

Still gutted to see the gaps in our support even if you can understand it.

So did they, until someone can prove me wrong I'm adamant there were rows of empty seats on their side, especially in the nosebleeds.

bollocks

Or should i say Blocks because thats what we had loads and loads of empty blocks fucking embarrasing i could not bear to look at our end just had to keep looking at the pitch and tried to ignore the fact we had so many Blocks left to sell.Not having a go at anyone who could not make it but I felt let down today we are not as big as we think really we are not.

I actually think taking 22000 to a CS is a good attendance. We only sell out about 10 away games a season when we get between 2500-7000 tickets. Chelsea Spurs Newcastle Sunderland Everton (all similar sized clubs to us) and Wolves and even Blackpool last season, all sell out more away games a season than we do!
