The irony is that we need a bigger ground to build a bigger fanbase to cover the midweek games when regulars don't go.

Why didn't you go to the Leipzig game?

Maybe he should have gone to the Barca game, where they got battered by Bayern with under 40,000 in attendance?It’s also a dangerous game as day trippers want to see a successful team. The next time I visit the USA I want to take in a Brooklyn Nets game not a Memphis Grizzlies.
There is room for both sets of fans. If they treated both with equal respect and both have equal enjoyable experiences then the one set of fans they prefer would have a much more enjoyable experience.
Imagine paying all that money to sit in a dead atmosphere.
There was a Barca fan I follow on twitter who went to the game last night, he was so excited in the build up but massively underwhelmed post game, he goes away with a negative experience now, one he probably won’t use to return but the club have his money and the spreadsheet looks healthy so some no marks are doing their job and getting the likes on LinkedIn.

Tell him to come back to City for a big game with something on the line.
Nothing to do with saving on cards it is the aggressive controlling of fans sharing tickets and fans data that was the motivation.I don't even want that, just to be respected for making the effort, by decent customer service, since fans returned the service is utterly shocking, 2 of my relatives, regulars for decades have given up over mobile ticketing, few of us wanted that, but it saves on plastic cards..... (there's no difference to getting in (well other than it works less well)).

It seems to have stopped touts, but you can still share with friends and family.Nothing to do with saving on cards it is the aggressive controlling of fans sharing tickets and fans data that was the motivation.

games Over here seem far more gladiatorial with all the noise, flags and smoke bombs - enjoy the atmosphere but just wish I was watching city instead
I took one of the guys I work with over here a couple of years back and flew over for the 6-0 Huddersfield game I think it was, he’s taken us up to benfica a few times and although he loved Manchester and watching city play, he said going to the Etihad felt more like a ‘process’ compared to what he is used to, I think he meant too synthetic.It’s also a dangerous game as day trippers want to see a successful team. The next time I visit the USA I want to take in a Brooklyn Nets game not a Memphis Grizzlies.

Very little evidence of touts at home games in 18 years.It seems to have stopped touts, but you can still share with friends and family.
Sharing is being monetised by other clubs this season, either as a one off fee or a match by match basis, and seems like the direction of travel.

not sure where you have been touts at every game since we moved to etihad until at least Covid times.
I didn't follow social media for a while but when I checked more people are talking about the attendance than the actual game. The media and rival fans have successfully diverted the attention again haven't they.
Why are we the most scrutinized club in the world ?

Not sure where you access the matches Corky, but pre pandemic there were touts all the way up the road to the stadium on Ashton New Road from the bottom of the hill near the old derelict pub who's name I forget, none for the only game I've attended so far.Very little evidence of touts at home games in 18 years.

Yes, thanks to Peps post match comments. Very annoying he did that. Ammo for the enemy.I didn't follow social media for a while but when I checked more people are talking about the attendance than the actual game. The media and rival fans have successfully diverted the attention again haven't they.
