Record Breaking Support 60,000

[the goats backside]

Assuming it does reach 60,000 I guess that "record" is only true for the new Wembley. Arsenal played home European games at old Wembley with over 70k.

Spoiler (-;

But if there are over 54,000 Blues there it will be the largest gathering of City fans at a game since 1973! (Maine Rd attracted an 'official' crowd of 54,478 V Sunderland on 24/2/73 - Maine Rd's last City game to 'officially' attract over 54,000).

Thanks, as always with the correct info and figures Gary, hope the shows went well
No doubt on Tuesday we will be hearing Mickey Mouse numbers for a retiring do Monday

Was that the FA Cup game? I was at that one with my old man and there were at least 11k Sunderland fans!

I'm quite convinced there were at least 60,000 in Blackburn when we got promoted in 2000. Although obviously that doesn't beat York away.

Important question. If 60,000 are going to Wembley, why was there so many empty seats on Tuesday? And against Wigan and West Ham? Infact did they support City in 2007?

I heard a rumour once that not all City fans live in Manchester and not all fans go to every match. It was just a rumour though.

Cost? Pass. It has been a very expensive season.
