Spurs’ new stadium

I dont think our fans have much to prove. Second highest average attendance last season and broke a few records along the way, all playing away from home as well

Im pretty sure Phil Thompson was mocking the attendance the other day but he didn't seem to mind when Roy Hodgson's Liverpool team had thousands of empty seats

A Liverpool fan knocking anyone's attendances is always funny. Liverpool have pretty steadily had an average attendance since the war of about 35-40000, which is great, but their biggest ever attendance is just 61905. That is the EIGHTEENTH highest in the country!

When the Icelandic volcano erupted and the ash cloud hit Northern Europe, keeping planes to a stand still on runways, Liverpool got a home attendance of 37697

Their local core support is no better than anyone elses.

United get around 45000 to the early round League Cup games and when they had to play that re-arranged game against Bournemouth a few years ago in the Prem there were about the same there that night.

City under Stuart Pearce, when we scored 10 home goals all season (none from January to May) and looked like we'd be heading into administration, had an average attendance of 39997. We also get about 40000 to some Group Stage CL games too which are our lowest attendances every season across the four competitions.

Sets of fans like Liverpool and Arsenal and the Rags bang on about how huge their support is and how big they are but when it really comes down to the proper local fanbases, the core support who'd be there through thick and thin, we're all just about the same really!

Man Utd and Liverpool's support is untested. They've only known the top 6. That might be about to change.

Given that season tickets were not valid, it is Christmas, fans are sick of Wembley, Spurs had just be stiffed by Arsenal a few day earlier, Southampton are not a great draw, Spurs have played a lot recently - 30,000 is not bad.

How do so many miss their home games?

and this is why manchester city are the best club in the world bar none

we was so badly run from the early 1980s it was criminal and swales and the board was milking the club and fans, fake attendance figures was the real deal at man city and sometimes you think OMG i can not move on the kippax and the 3 over stands was looking good only to hear today attendance figures are ?????? 20.000 really

then you had the yoyo years from 1983 to 2002 to the lowest point in the clubs history and playing old 3rd division football but still getting good attendance figures without any hope never mind asking for glory, without doubt every fans dream of winning silverware was over shadow with smell of fear of relegation, it was like dare you dream this is manchester city we would get a good kicking in the bollocks for even thinking it

so manchester city are a hardcore bunch of fans built on 40 years of hardship, i would say 30.000 would walk on broken glass to watch us play on a wet and windy night anywhere in Britain in any league, so jump to 2008 and the new MANCESTER CITY and if the saying goes if you build it they will come, and for a little while it was a puzzle mixing hard core with a world wide base of new fans but come 2018, TOGETHER WE ARE ONE and all stand proud of this great club and once again can SHOUT IT OUT LOUD

MANCHESTER CITY ARE THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD, just go and look at the others all panicking and looking for rules changes ??? they all know it is not little old man city and the truth is we was never a little club just a badly run club
 
Coming out of Wembley after we played them, said to my lad I would hate to be doing this all season.
The tube after that game would be like every City fan trying to get on the metro after a home game.

matey its a given and nobody ever made us go we just had to its in the blood, and we did have a long dark tunnel to travel before that little glimpse of light was ever seen, and looking back on days like stoke away on boxing day or bradford away or the play off final and the 10.1 vs huddersfield and the banana craze was better than glory and makes a lovely story in itself, would love to see arsenal fans united fans liverpool fans go through what we did and still smile and laugh with joy and still turn up ????
