Chivs Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Of the 20 or so "regulars" who I recognise at each game, I'd say only about 4 were sat in their usual seats! The other seats were occupied by people I didn't recognise. It's possible they were STs from other stands just trying out a different perspective but they could also be "walk-ups". If the latter then City might have judged this right as a way of getting new attendees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 4 hours ago, Super said: Not a bad crowd tbh. generally I think crowds for a lot of the games yesterday were pretty decent, Everton had almost 38,000 and Chelsea had over 40,000, both playing lower league opposition. Not far off the crowds they would have had for a premier league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 12,178 against a prem side (admittedly not for long) is pretty bad imo. Must be some reflection on the poor level of entertainment at AG recently. We are on a good run of results but it is hard to argue that it has been entertaining to watch at home.

lgbbcf Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 there were still people queuing to buy tickets 20 minutes after kick off at the ticket office. why do people always leave it till last minute on a cup game, it happens at most them.

Huddersfield ‘reserves’ not a particular attractive proposition. Plus cash tight for people after Christmas. I also think the change to ko time didn’t help (that certainly put me off as usually travel by train from Parson street and would have had to leave early to make the 7.35pm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, we have never had great attendance for early cup rounds against non glamour sides. I think everyone can agree we played some decent football in the first half of last season but we still only got 13,826 v Stoke. Just after Christmas we would have had a similar attendance if it had been Brighten, Burnley, Watford or Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down precious I’m only pointing it out. You said it wasn’t a very attractive fixture for Everton, yet 38k turned up. I could equally say Sunderland at home wasn’t a very attractive fixture for Blackpool’s fans the other day, yet 11k turned up. Sunderland however had 8k of that attendance... see how that works?

Perhaps not, although in fact think I would prefer to watch Lincoln, top of league 2 with an up and coming young manager, and a big away following creating an atmosphere, at 3pm on a Saturday than Huddersfield - who we played fairly recently - reserves at 5.30pm!

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 City used to publish the official figures (including the number of away fans) for all fixtures under ‘Away Days’ on the website, but the lazy side have stopped that this season. It irks me because the size of the City contingent is a true reflection of our support, as the away numbers are affected by day, distance, time, tickets allocated etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Love how we still have people guessing, when it's already been confirmed on various sources (including the OS if you're reading Robbored) as 12,178. For the record, I reckon there was a smidge under 12,200 in attendance. Just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
