Yes, they said it was WMP that told them how many we could have. Not like them to be anti-City is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there isn't much need I am under the belief there is still segregation. Mainly at the dolman end plus there's netting (our yooths must be missing that!) at the front or back can't remember which one sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 They are segregating the villa fans , in the villa end ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant netting over seats, I think it's at the dolman end and at the front? May be at the back though. The only reason I can see why is to cut down on stewarding and police costs. It won't take as many stewards between the Dolman and Atyeo gap with the netting as well. As it was in the EE. There's probably some legislation saying you need x amount of stewards and police to away fans as well and we're cutting down on what we allow to accommodate this.

DaveInSA Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Villa will be up for this game. It has the potential to be their pivot to a good season. We're gonna lose. Badly. Although, we do have a habit of playing better against favoured sides so, maybe we could sneak something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they needed that Saturday... We could have cheered every missed tackle, sung our hearts out at all the long balls that were gobbled up by the giants of Millwall's defence, chanted every City players name during our playing sideways among our defenders. And it would not have made a scrap of difference. We were outplayed at Brentford and got a very fortunate equaliser. We didn't threaten Millwall more than a couple of times. I guess that you might be quite young but when you've had sixty seven years supporting City, one does realise very quickly at the start of the game, often within five or ten minutes, that whatever we sing, shout, it just isn't going to be a vintage performance and we can do sod all to change that.

IMO there are too many little groups trying to sing different songs at the same time or the same song at different tempos so they die out so quick because it becomes a mix of songs, why we can't just sing the same song at the same tempos I don't know, other teams supporters seem to manage it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hantsred Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 assuming villa sold their allocation then by my calculations we are on for a +22k crowd after taking a look at the BS ticket site. If we can nudge 22.5 K that would make it the second highest (all seated) attendance eclipsing Newcastle home game last year. Perhaps record gate receipts also as full price and 2017/18 prices?
