No, to be considered one of the top teams in Europe we have to win things regularly.ryan1985 said:If were gonna be considered one of the top teams in europe we should be able to sell 28000 tickets against united in the charity sheild with our record signing on show.franksinatra said:ryan1985 said:If we dont sell out this it will be an absolute embarrasement and the rags will have a field day mocking us. Unless your on holiday or personal reasons there is no excuse for u not to go. This is what we have been pineing for for years and some blues are 'gonna give it a miss' or 'its a nothing game'. Get a grip!
Dont feel embarrassed, Ive seen 15,000 for league games in the mid 80s, 8000 for cup games and not once have I been embarrassed by our support. This might be an important game to you but for many its just a friendly before the real action starts the following week. People choose the games they consider important and wish to attend, personally I will be putting the cash to one side for a european away game. I was in Kiev with 450 others, no big deal. Certainly wouldn't come on here telling people they should have gone to Kiev

Not really. We've only got a moderately sized fanbase. Clubs like Sunderland Everton Newcastle Spurs Chelsea who I'd consider similar sized clubs to us always sell out more away games a season than we do. We just don't have that many fans overall. We aren't a one club town, we aren't the biggest club in our town, there are a lot of professional football clubs in our metropolitan area, until last season we hadn't won anything for a few generations... all this depleats a clubs potential fanbase size. It will take a good while to re-grow. And with the current recession, with many being on holiday, some might have personal reasons not to go, and it is only a pre-season exhibition game... I will fully understand why we wouldn't have sold out if we don't. And it wont be embarrassing for me!ryan1985 said:Well whatever, my point being it will be embarrasing if we dont sell out, don't u think?danburge82 said:My personal reason is that I would rather spend my spare cash on Bolton away than this almost pointless game on Sunday. Is that a good enough "excuse"?! Hopefully it will sell out though so all the naughty bully United fans don't send too many nasty mean texts to you!ryan1985 said:If we dont sell out this it will be an absolute embarrasement and the rags will have a field day mocking us.

Not one second in my life have I ever pined for City to be in the Community Sheild exhibition game. Not when I was young and starry eyed, not when we were shit and losing at Lincoln and Bury, not now we've got a potentially great team, and never in the future!ryan1985 said:Course we have been pineing for it, u play in the charity sheild cos u win the league or win the cup and thats what i wanted from City ever since i can remember being a blue!

You seem more obsessed with what others think that you are with the fact you're going to see a game you are looking forward to.
You got the same seat in the east side you had in the semi?

According to their website.
£25 to get a match ticket, to get down there, to eat and drink throughout the whole day? Or is it more than that? It's £25 I'll be putting towards a flight somehwere in Europe when we find out who we've got in the group stage of the Chamions League!ryan1985 said:Is this a 'u sound like a red' comment?SWP's back said:No, to be considered one of the top teams in Europe we have to win things regularly.ryan1985 said:If were gonna be considered one of the top teams in europe we should be able to sell 28000 tickets against united in the charity sheild with our record signing on show.
