I think what a few are getting at is that it probably would have been full despite the rescheduling. It's been a theme ever since we have been in the CL. Some of the attendances in the games have been a bit embarrassing
No idea what the solution is to address it though
The solution is probably the sort of football were playing now

u forgot ffp .... dont think we'll stop anytime soonThe changing the coefficient rules to help clubs that were good decades ago deserves the boos on its own, never mind Platini being corrupt, the pious alcohol bans and very poor anthem.

Fucking hell lads it doesnt take a genius to see the problem here, we had a decent take up, it was postponed! If you don't allow tickets to be sold the next day then the take up will be reduced! people have other lives apart from City, believe it or not.
I thought the crowd who got there were fantastic. Credit to everyone of you who kept up the city win scum lose song. As I said. loads of mates who couldnt go last night got fucked off by the ticket office. But we still stuffed them. Someone in the know should have a word with Pep, let him know the Champs League rules....

You said it, there are some super fans on here who for some reason think they are bigger blues than others for whatever reason. Load of bollocks IMO.
And you can bet they won't be at Swansea taking advantage of the £12 tickets next week.. or the Saturday game after it

Literally edited my post a second before you replied to add something to that effect
Years after? It was this calendar year that, after being found guilty of racist chanting, Kiev fans were allowed to attend their game against us after being told they were banned originally.
They are an organisation that condones racism, that deserves booing. And there are rumours that more prize money will go to previous winners of the comp than to clubs like us, that deserves booing.
Boo your heads off Blues!
It wasnt this calender year, nor was it kiev. It was the Cska game.
Small time... people need to stop sulking like little kids an man the fuck up!
As for the sensationalist paragraph highlighted... trying too hard, let it go.
He changed his post. He had VK supporting written in it which qas for the CSKA incident and not kiev. Also the booing was because of that CSKA match and it started from that day. Some just do it to potray the us against the world.

I've never been around the family stand, but always see from the display names of children on their first game and a lot of activity around Moonchester. If the majority of family stand doesn't come for evening games, then the attendance for CL is about right.

There's no small or big time about it. Fans of Legia, Barcelona, Celtic, Ajax, Atlético (and possibly more I don't know of) have all demonstrated against this fucking stinking organisation or even boos the jingle.Small time... people need to stop sulking like little kids an man the fuck up!
People need to keep on booing the racist condoning, evil old guard siding, attempted scuppering of our progression with FFPR, future scuppering of our prize fund, David Gill employing, corrupt, underhand, overrated cuntish organisation.

Good price for the Celtic game, Battle of Britain , these social media pages and Twitter trolls are spreading so much shit people are starting to believe it, get behind pep and do your best to get to the game.
Pep is absolutely right, super fans turning up tonight or not.
We have the best football club owner in the World.
We have the best Football Manager in the World.
We have some of the best players in the World.
We are watching some of the best football anyone of us have or will ever see.
CL tickets/bundle prices were acceptable.
Etc.
And yes, I accept many didn't turn up tonight because of last night. But even if they had, the stadium still wouldn't have been full.
Yes again, there is still an apathy with the CL, and many City fans still haven't forgotten how UEFA shafted us, and are still doing so with their new rules.
But at some point City fans need to start filling the stadium on CL nights, like we do io PL Match days.
That aside, great display and win tonight.

Football of that quality deserves a full house. I would guess that last night it would have been around 40,000, Spurs have just sold 80,000 plus . We use to get 30,000 in the third division .
This !! Fuck the it would have been better if it was a knockout. We had piss poor attebdance at Bucuresti as well. It affects the players and manager. If things dont work out please dont blame the players or the manager for losing then.

Yep wasn't having a dig or anything, I'm guilty didn't go tonight but I think he's right, football like that needs/ deserves a full house and will get it I think

Yes it was. The Moscow racism stuff was a completely separate incident altogether. Have a read about the Kiev stuff, astonished you never heard of it. Where were you from December to February when it was talked about constantly?It wasnt this calender year, nor was it kiev. It was the Cska game.
He has a long way to go before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Phil Jones.

Fans deserve decent prices as well. 48quid for a ticket is a piss take.
