Probably not going because it's like watching lads v dads. Utterly dire. That's what their fans say about their current team and why some dont bother. Going on their past I'd say make the most of every occasion like this because you dont know when it will stop. Totally agree but if your skint you can't go.

They do sell out their home games, people with tickets not turning up is another story. And that happens at Old Trafford, The Emirates and most grounds up and down the country including ours..... They dont sell out home games. They advertise on the radio often to sell tickets. How often do you see old Trafford the same? Liverpool, spurs. The available tickets at the Etihad are usually the top tier when the away team don’t take the full allocation, I sat there last season when we played them. Spurs we’re getting 30,000 at Wembley earlier in the season. Did you not go to Old Trafford last season? There was literally thousands of empty seats when we played them. Liverpool is the only team in the north west where it’s nigh on impossible to get tickets, I work with a load of ManUre season ticket holders and the amount of emails flying around trying to get shot of them I reckon I could quite easily do a dozen games a season if I wanted to (which obviously I don’t)

Unlike Stoke, cup semi finals come along frequently for Man City. Given the cost I’d be selecting the games, especially with champions league games coming up. I agree footballs an expensive game.

Yaya has just started his comments with:

Word of advice- it's Saturday night, so if you're going to get drawn into an Oatcake debate with Prestwich Sad Act, I'd nip to the shop and bivouac down with some nibbles and a few tins. Because you'll be missing last orders. The bloke can 'cake for longer than Sting's sex sessions 👍

Same reason as to why season ticket holders don’t show up to all the other fans grounds I mentioned, people have busy lives, they miss the odd game, don’t go to night games, leave the kids at home on a school night etc etc. It’s half term in quite a large part of Manchester at the moment, people are away. None of these things are exclusive to Man City fans.....

I'm not watching it due to it inevitably being a complete non-contest. Man City have always been a pretty big club even before all their success and their fans have been amongst some of the loyalist in the country through all their shit years and endless piss taking from their neighbours. You need to save your vitriol for more deserving clubs of your "shithouse" tag. You saying citeh aren't a shithouse club? They are to me and many others. And bo one will convince me they're a big club or a giant club. A fantastic side and will be for a long while, but never a big club in how I view big clubs. Who mentioned Giant clubs? Depends what concept you looking from really. If you compare Man City to us for example, then they are a massive club. If you compare them to Barcelona then they're not really that massive, but if you're being realistic and judging them on their historic fan base and historic achievements in the country then in my opinion they are and always were a pretty big club. In another 10 years they will be classed by a different generation than ours as one of the biggest.

They've probably got about 20 years of this to even be put on the same table as some other clubs.

This is the worst I've seen Man Citeh play I'm ages, awful second half. Brighton are woeful as well, they've got a slower team than us.

25000 proper fans or 45000 whoppers in jester hats and face painted up to the eyeballs, leave that shite for Man Utd who could probably fill Wembley with just their London fan base alone, plastics nah you can keep them always said 13000 proper Stoke at the Old vic was much better than 28000 fakes at the Brit 👍

At the game myself, sat in the City end. Their supporters are very much like ours, pretty much all have mancs accent, and are working class lads and ladies.
They got 30000 when they were in div 1, they have a solid fan base,and don't have many glory hunters either.
As someone posted earlier many on here emptied their piggy banks for our semi and final, but if we were doing Wembley 3 times a year we'd probably drop down in numbers.

They've probably got about 20 years of this to even be put on the same table as some other clubs. They aren't the things that you assess how big a football club are though. Well, not in my opinion anyway. The problem with the "big club" argument is that a lot of it all boils down to the age of the person whos deciding. I'm 47 years old this year and I don't consider Chelsea to be a really big club because they were never really winning that much or playing in front of massive crowds when I was growing up, but I would have put them in the same bracket as Man City as a pretty big club, but you can guarantee that football fans in their 20's will consider them a big club due to them being so successful over the last 16 years or so. Using that rationale, Man City are a big club these days and my opinion won't change on that so I'm done on this discussion now mate. Enjoy the rest of your night, cuz I've got a load of Kentish Strong Ales to get through

Just been having a discussion with a mate (very happy Villa supporter as it happens) and we both agreed having watched the game earlier this afternoon there is something innately boring about watching Man City - it’s the slow possession based approach leading to the inevitable result. Having said that the City season ticket holders I know seem more than happy with proceedings 🙂
