If the match was this time next season, there would be 20,000 tickets left for sale. Let that sink in muddle brain.
As for Madrid and Barcelona, I couldn't give a fuck about either of them and their attendances.
Because the club still think we're the biggest draw in Europe, with tourists absolutely desperate to come and see us play. They're on a complete different planet to the rest of us.
I make it 13,473 using my methodTickets available for Champions League game next week against Galatasary.

Mr doom & gloom !!
Fuck me you're like a stuck fucking record, embarassing !!
Touched a nerve eh ;)You're just a fucking club Shill. Not matter what the club has done to inconvenience the fans and drive them away leading to 1000's of empty seats and unsold seats, you've never criticize the club once. Mr fucking City!
You're still peddling your club PR blocks that the stadium will sell out when the capacity is increased to 62,000.
I can't wait to read you lame excuses when it doesn't sell out with 1000's of empty seats next season.
You're fucking deluded, and you always have been.
P.S i never said it would be sold out every game, what i do agree with is it being built.You're just a fucking club Shill.

I’m not that arsed when it’s a a few empty seats here or there but generally more people in each block than not. What will be embarrassing is the dogs abuse we’ll get in the mainstream media when there’s entire tiers half full like we’ll probably have vs Newcastle. If this was next season we’d have tiers completely closed for a semi final.Embarrassing for who?
As fans we should never be embarrassed about how many fans do/don't attend a game. Frustrated with the club for how difficult they make it for people to buy or transfer a ticket, absolutely. But I've never walked away from the Etihad embarrassed about how many people were/weren't sat around me.
As for the club? They don't give a shit. That much is obvious.
Nobody disagrees with it being built. But the fact is if they don’t come up with a serious new strategy around access and pricing, we’ll be nowhere near selling out for games outside the biggest games.P.S i never said it would be sold out every game, what i do agree with is it being built.
As for you hoping it fails is a sad inditement on your part...
Think fans have sussed outbthe issues, club just choose to ignoreIt's better to face up to the fact that demand for ticketing has fallen significantly. We, and the club, need to work out why. I think it's a whole host of problems.
The pricing for this match is very poor and it shows how much the people making these decisions are out of touch with the fanbase.We can't even sell out 53,000 on a regular basis, never mind 62,000.

Where did he say he hopes it'll fail? And why would he hope it'll fail when he spends hours of his spare time visiting the site of the development, taking photos, and posting updates on the North Stand construction thread? I don't see you doing that.P.S i never said it would be sold out every game, what i do agree with is it being built.

One of the problems is on the pitch. “Tourists” want success if they don’t get it they move on. Kids want the new shiny toy that was Haaland and Grealishso we need to expose the next up and coming thing. I’ve chatted to a good few parents that don’t like football or support another team and they point to the kid and say “oh. They love Haaland or Grealish”It's better to face up to the fact that demand for ticketing has fallen significantly. We, and the club, need to work out why. I think it's a whole host of problems.
Mainly the rigmarole of getting tickets and the fact that the game has peaked in popularity are the most obvious. Growing a local base is just down to persistent success over decades in the hope you win over youngsters not blighted by raggy relatives. The tourist market is more realistic to grow quickly but they don’t do much for the atmosphere and makes the “product” worse meaning fewer locals so it’s self-defeating. That said 1 tourist probably = 3 regulars in terms of income so attendance bad, income ok.It's better to face up to the fact that demand for ticketing has fallen significantly.

Too many home games in quick succession, people can’t afford itIt's better to face up to the fact that demand for ticketing has fallen significantly. We, and the club, need to work out why. I think it's a whole host of problems.
There’s an argument to be made for staying as we are, yes. Not everything has to be a relentless pursuit of growth and profit. Who is filling those extra seats? Are they proper supporters? Can they improve what is - let’s be honest - a dying home atmosphere? Or are they just another body to drive revenue?Saying 61.000 is too big, it will be for some games, it won't be for others, so what do we do ? Stay as we are, stop continue growing ?
Our owners are looking at the next 20/30 years, not the next 12 months.
