yep but the average well above that - so we should have had a good few 26 - 27k 's in the season if we had a few 17k's or a lot of 17k's! - I always remember the announcer saying today's attendence..22k ..sticks in my head during that era. Mind you that was with 'Swalesy's turnstile!'I recall being at c£17k in the days of Mel Machin, a good few times anyway.
Rags, dippers and bigger London clubs have a larger supply of irregular supporters to shift excess tickets to. It's that simple.the thing is with people criticizing our away support on social media, is if we had taken the full allocation we wouldn't be getting praise for it either would we?....same as when we took 9000 to Spurs, I didn't see us getting praise for that or when we took 36000 to the FA Cup semi final against Chelsea, but we did get shit for the lower attendance the following year against Forest....so my point is they only look for the negative and we can't win either way, so fuck em
I'm not for a minute slagging off City's crowds. My point was that comparing other clubs attendances in the 80s to crowds today, isn't really fair, as everybody's were 'shit' in comparison.Not 15k ..have a look, regularly 20k - 22k which was in the top 10 in crowds during those years - even when we were in div 2 (championship now) we were in top 10 clubs gate wise https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/281 in 128 years we have only been below 16k once - an anomally 64/65 season - other than that - amazing attendences
I remember crowds of around 22-24k in the 80s when we were in what was then the 2nd division. You used to be able to sit on the Kippax terrace and watch the game. I don't ever remember crowds of 15k-17k.I'm not for a minute slagging off City's crowds.

I also didn't mean to suggest that City ever averaged 15K. But there were plenty of indiviual league games in the 15-17K bracket in those days.
"Swalesy's turnstile", legendary :)yep but the average well above that - so we should have had a good few 26 - 27k 's in the season if we had a few 17k's or a lot of 17k's! - I always remember the announcer saying today's attendence..22k ..sticks in my head during that era.

Its human nature, once the novelty of the Hill Dickensen wears off ,Everton wont be selling out every week.When we stuffed the Arse 3-0 a few years ago there were thousands of empties.Considering were the only club in the world consistenly reminded our neighbours are the biggest club in the world we do remarkably well.Im sure Athletico fans get as pissed off as we do.Rags, dippers and bigger London clubs have a larger supply of irregular supporters to shift excess tickets to. It's that simple.
Add in the facts that we've probably played at the new Wembley more than any club except Spurs, late announcement of dates and kick-off times and the fact that most people don't have an inexhaustible supply of cash, and it's easy to see why we don't always sell out. - It's easy for fans of other clubs to say they'd be up for 20-odd visits to Wembley in 15 years but it would be a different matter once they had to start paying for those trips. - It's also easy for armchair supporters and the media to snipe as they don't have to worry about the cost and availability of tickets, travel and refreshments.
Yeah I was part of the 15,172 attendance that witnessed a meaningless end of season victory over Reading in 87-88I'm not for a minute slagging off City's crowds.

128 showing availableHi anyone able to say how many Liverpool away left. I can buy form 1pm if any left but going to struggle to be bang on it at 1 as I normally would.
Thanks very much for that. Cheers128 showing available
Didn't realise that Liverpool still had RV seats after their extension. Can't be very many surely?670 before RS released.
No Idea but they are on the sales criteria, and normally front rows or behind vomitory rails, could be corner seats too.Didn't realise that Liverpool still had RV seats after their extension. Can't be very many surely?
I got one of these last year its the first 5 rows of AL7 and AL8. Camera positioning it's not really restricted imo not as bad as the roof previously at the back.Didn't realise that Liverpool still had RV seats after their extension. Can't be very many surely?
