This song aint new it has been around for months! To be honest they have a point as our 'support' is generally pretty poor beyond the hardcore. Its a bit a hobby horse of mine this song/topic....... If you compare the way that other clubs turn up in numbers and fill their ground regardless of the opposition, we still have too many choosy fans that only turn up for the big games. I reckon our hardcore fans number around 30,000 and the rest are either new fans or those that pick n choose. I'm not saying that this is bad thing....it's just how it is.
I for one fully expect us to have empty seats in the Champions League and domestic cups as we don't yet have the volumes of supporters who are prepared to attend all of the additional games. We can all blame the increasing cost of following city as a reason for not attending (believe me i'm feeling it too), only when we get our share of plastics attending will we start to consistently fill the ground.
