Major Isewater Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Dont see your point Monkeh.. Man City are a club that is nothing without money, a club with a historical fanbase of not much more than ours. The Roma fans were impressive as always, like them or not but the Italians know how to create an atmosphere. They are the Russ Abbotts of Europe .

Northern Red Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The argument about it being too expensive may actually be true, but when you've spent years banging on about being such a big club and everyone from Manchester supporting City etc, it still makes you look stupid.

BS15_RED Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This is a stupid thread, In the late mid to late 90's when they went through the lowest period in their history, they were still averaging around 30,000 for home games. Just because their ground isn't packed out with thousands of tourists, line the majority of the other top clubs in this country, does not mean their support is poor.

cider-manc Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 A few people are using the phrase "Massive" game etc Maybe they don't actually view it as a massive game? What's to say the tickets were not OTT and many chose to vote with their feet? Truth be told you can't give away most Champs league group stage tickets in Manchester for either team. I know this because I couldn't shift a ticket for Man U vs Real Sociedad last season. Fans pick the big games and teams like Roma or Real Sociedad are not considered a big draw. Munich/barca/real Madrid games will sell out though. Similarly Arsenal group games don't sell out to members (something that rarely happens in Prem games) yet the knockout rounds if you aren't a long standing member you don't stand a chance- I know this as I used to work for Arsenals ticketing. Admittedly they always sell out regardless of what the game is. Why not? Pretty sure every other English team in the CL will be a sell out or pretty near this season. Certainly not 8k spare seats. Chelsea had to return a couple of thousand tickets for the 2008 final. Also they struggle most seasons to sell out their champs league games in a stadium of 41,000. If they had a bigger stadium there would be lots of empty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think the Manchester fans might be a bit confused. Man City play at the Etihad stadium named after their sponsor Etihad Airlines after the club's takeover by Sheik Mansour of Abu Dhabi. Rather strangely "etihad" means "united" in Arabic. Did the Sheik accidentally buy the wrong club? On current results it would seem to have been a fortunate mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've seen plenty of empty seats across town for European games, it's not cheap when your club is competing in every cup imaginable. We usually only have the league gEs to worry about, imagine paying out for Premier league, coca cola cup (or whatever it's called), champions league and soon enough the FA cup.

WTFiGO!?! Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think, to be fair, people pre-commit to a season ticket an are loathed to stick their hands back into their pockets for individual cup games. I dread to think of the expense of following a team like Man City, City alone is a financial burden for most of us I would think. Most Premier League club attendances are down for FA cup 5th and 6th round games due to this - and that's despite a reduction in ticket price. We consistently attract smaller crowds for cup games. Still, seems a shame given the desperation to get into the Champions League, that when there the interest isn't the same. It's all about the money.
