I know he swore at people and that is against the COC but we both know that having your loyalty to City questioned is far more offensive than being called a rude word.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think it's a shame that so many posters on here are obsessed with proving they're the biggest blue ever and in the process enjoy trying to run everyone else into the ground.

I think people are taking it the wrong way - I am genuinely embarassed by our crowd tonight, I am also embarassed that we struggle to sell out for league games, and I am even more embarassed that however many people are in the ground we struggle to generate much atmosphere these days, and above all I am embarassed about the money our owners have invested in us and what they must think about our attendances, especially for cup games - the crowd being shit tonight is not about 1 or 2 people but the big picture of half of our fans not going, is, in my opinion piss poor, and we have all read enough posts on here about our own belief in our own loyalty and our predominance of support in Manchester, and I think tonight questions that. I was not having a personal go at scotty or any individual but I am still embarassed about the shit attendance

99.9% of that post is spot on. Think the atmosphere, general banter and songs have improved no end. Take Wolves, etc, for an example

Because a significant number of our fans are Working Class, in a recession our crowds will dip. The Range Rover Cheshire Set types and shandy-drinking southern softies that support the Rags are unaffected by such things.

We only have so many fans, who only have so much money.

Yeah pretty poor attendance tonight but it was a 3rd round leg and £15 a ticket. It being on TV and it being a monday night also didn't help - wasn't suprised in the slightest with the turnout - well done to those who made the effort though!

Why would you be embarassed? It's not your fault.

never said or thought it was my fault, but I am embarassed for my club, and also sensitive to what our owners must be thinking - anyway I am, and that is that

obviously i am not suggesting it's your fault..i sadi that because to be embarassed seems very personal..your call though mate...i can respect that.
