ExiledAjax Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I do have some sympathy for the OP. I am reminded of the 2017/18 EFL Cup run. Round 1 against Plymouth at home we saw a crowd of 9,300. Round 3 at home to Stoke, 13,000, Round 4 was Palace at home and we attracted 21,000. Of course the game following that was Manchester Utd at home and we saw a sell out crowd of just over 26,000 for which the club had to implement a special ticketing waterfall due to the demand. There was no priority ticket sale for the Man Utd game for those who had attended the Plymouth game. I don't think that not attending that Plymouth game, or this game tonight means you "aren't a fan", but I also do understand resentment from those that do attend, as we all know that should we progress and draw a "big" club, suddenly an extra 18,000 fans will pop up at AG. Perhaps away fans would be within their rights to chant "Where were you when the opposition were objectively less attractive"? PS @Magger1 my own poor excuse for not attending this evening is that I live 3.5 hours drive from AG. I'm sorry. For my sins I did go to the Round 1 game away at Burton to see Coventry, so please accept that as my penance.

Yeh I'd have considered going to the game if away at Lincoln. 1.5 hour drive for me to get there which is about what Burton was. Wonder if that makes us super fans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 For the SUPER fans who travel a distance for home games and think I was having a pop at them , wise up I’m having a pop at fans that live in walking distance and should look at this game as a possible chance to support our youngsters and hopefully cheer them to next round and then hopefully a lucrative cup draw that might prize them out their armchairs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted November 8, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 It has always amused me that you get bigger crowds (and this applies to all clubs, not just us) depending on the size of the opposition. I mean we all love City and presumably don't give a jot about the other team. We also go home happier after a City win than any other result. Yet for the more winnable games, we stay at home. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had SIX home games since Oct 1st. Plus two close away games. We now have two more home games within a week. It's a school night. Weather is terrible. Poor opposition. Not long til Christmas. Oh and finally, we're living through a cost of living crisis where people can't even afford to heat their homes, let alone attend 8 home games within 6 weeks. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Yeah it's like when I went to see U2 in 1980 at the Poly. Where were all the fairweather fans then, huh? And yet you all came out of the woodwork when The Joshua Tree was released, didn't you?! I'd far rather my favourite bands - and football teams for that matter - stayed small-time and niche and crap forever, thank you very much. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
