Seat Counters 25/26

[Didsbury Dave]

2 Spurs fans in the office where I work down in London - both have opined how expensive it must be following City. It seems the penny my be starting to drop slowly with other fanbases.

99% of football fans actually understand and sympathise and respect City's fanbase.

It's the 1% of fucking morons from Lagos who do their "supporting" on Tiktok who make most of the noise.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

what a wonderful put down of AI, who else is buzzing to see those 250 pound cup final tickets sell at the rate of about 1 a day, it's what we live for

What about the adrenaline rusg of being the first to see the "Sold Out" message appear on the City web page, and then report it back to this thread? It's better than drugs.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Good point mate. The proper one will be up for a vote at the end of the season. The Bellend D'Or.

I think we may also need the Bangkok Blue "Unsung Hero" award, for the many counters that may often go unnoticed, but keep us all updated throughout the year. They don't do it for the glory, they do it for the pure love of seat counting.

Penny dropping with alot, mainly as other clubs fans now being screwed like we have been

Their STs are hundreds more than ours which goes some way to make following their team as much as it costs us. Same for Chelsea.

I would guess average salaries in that neck of the woods are somewhat higher (though so are rents etc).

I wonder if the average person living and working in London is better off than the average person in Manchester when cost of living is take into account.

I think we can sing where were you on Tuesday night at them Sat judging from the empty seats v Bristol tonight.

Attendance was 28,446 , St Mary's capacity is 32,384 . So just under 4K empties

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Chelsea have not sold out v Leeds, literally a tube ride, wow

Wonder how many of 35000 they’d have sold if it meant a 420 mile round trip only a few weeks after the first 420 mile round trip?

 

[bluecityste]

There would be a lot less ammunition for the seat counters if the tickets were still on sale!

Why were they taken off sale at 10am when they are digital tickets? I was just about to buy 8 tickets in the cheap seats and then realised I couldn't access it anymore

 

[supercity88]

25,000 is a solid effort a month after we were last there and our 8th trip there for FA Cup semi finals. We will sell out the final if we make it without a problem. It's a busy weekend in London, and a cup final for the likes of Leeds and Southampton.

No one who actually goes to games can criticise us for it.

Not many

Perhaps they are prioritising which is fair enough although you won't see an article from Shamoon the Rag on the paedo protectors website slagging off their fans banging on about empty seats.

Pretty sure they didn’t sell their Community Shield allocation when we played them at Villa Park in 2012.

Exactly

They didn't and it was a lot smaller than it would have had it been at Wembley.
Arsenal regularly sent tickets back for Community Shield matches during the years they were held in Cardiff.
A bit different when they have to travel outside their London bubble but not a word from the London centric press, yet if we don't sell out for a 420 mile round trip our fans are apparently shit and/or plastic.

Not a single Community Shield game sold out at Cardiff, they’re capacity was around 73,000

Tell you what. It'd be a really interesting seat count if we make it to the community shield. I rekon we'd take more than people think

1999 FA Cup semis at Villa Park (capacity, 39,997)

First game attendance: 39,217
Replay attendance: 30,223

I don't remember the media wankers saying anything about any of these fanbases not selling out.
Funny that isn't it.

More City fans turned up that night to watch a League One match against Luton Town than Rags did to watch an FA Cup semi final against Arsenal.
All the "can't get a ticket" Rag liars mustn't have fancied it.

 

[fitzy blue]

So it looks like we've another 25k plus going to wembley, very impressive as far as I'm concerned, considering the amount of times we've been there in recent years and it not even being a final.
Great support.
