The match will be a sell out, so why bother with the usual staged opening malarkey? You sure they are not the family blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family blocks are the ones closest to the SS. But there's W3 (quite a central block) with 350 odd tickets left and then W2 which is closer to the Atyeo which says sold out, Sorry, but that can't be right.

Speaking from a personal point of view I have had no end of people asking if I can get them a ticket, so anybody who was entitled to a ticket in the first allocation would have snapped one up . I just can't believe that 5% of our most loyal supporters have missed out on our biggest home game for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine the fact that the official site said that we now have 15,300 season card holders. Today’s article about phase two, says that we have sold “over 14500” which in practice means anything up to 14600. So between 700 and 800 did not snap up their ticket prior to this morning. Thats not to say that people won’t buy them. But an extra 30-40 quid just before Xmas might be out of budget for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a percentage who can't do midweek/maybe away/can't afford £33 that close to xmas etc. 5% is probably just that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 5 hours ago, Bar BS3 said: Baffling! You can only think that was mainly Juvenile tickets, who will not be going and the accompanying adults either don’t know or can’t be bothered with the hassle of buying, then upgrading them, for someone else to have. Not really. I know of 2 pensioner tickets where the individuals are both currently unwell & unable to go, plus another who struggles with night games because his wife has a medical condition that means she cannot be left without a carer.

Of course there will be some cases, but you don’t think it at all strange that 800 of the clubs core support (not 3) didn’t take up their ticket entitlement for arguably our biggest home fixture in a generation..? Even if they then gave their ticket to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’ve said, officially, but reading between the lines plus allowing for “Dead areas” for all of Sky’s cameras then I’d guess anything up to about 1,500 under actual capacity. So I’d expect the crowd to be around 25,500 possibly pushing 26,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Will clearly be a record for the new stadium. Last time we had a crowd of that size must have been in the old standing on the terraces. I can remember 37k and 38k crowds in those days and older folk can remember even bigger.

You are familiar with what “a generation” is, yeah..?! I’m nearly 39, I’ve been watching City for 30 years and I’ve never seen us play Man Utd, in a competitive match and I just missed out on our last major domestic quarter final. If course some league games are more important, but not many come bigger than Man Utd at this stage of a cup competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
