Man City - the new bitters?

[dockers_strike]

Would any of our fan support tell Jurgen to 'shut it' and 'concentrate on coaching' if he spoke about low attendances? Bizarre reaction by city fans.

Just seen that dennis' post. How they love to get things wrong. At the time, Doncaster Rovers had the widest pitch in the then Football League, Maine Road was only the widest pitch in the First Division.

 

Bragging about the tallest floodlight pylons?! Is he having a mare?!

It was Palace wasn’t it when he criticised supporters leaving early, saying he felt alone? 
 

To be fair, like most things, he’s was right. He’d only been here a couple of months at that point, not 5 years. 
 

Incidentally, was there an official gate for Wednesday night?

He got criticised by the media for lining the players up at the Kop at the end of that game. I dont recollect fans calling him though.

Yeah, when loads pissed off early as they do. Never get this leaving early to beat the crowd. Last time I did that I missed Toshack's 91st minute winner against Burnley and missed me fucking bus at everton Valley!

Maybe when City wallop Southampton tomorrow, Pep should do the same. 
 

After 5 years, 3 titles, 1 FA Cup, 4 League Cups, consistently the latter stages of the CL and some fantastic players & football, he must be fucked off he / they can’t generate a proper support.

38k was the official but loads of people on BlueMoon were there and they could tell by looking around that there was hardly any empty seats, so they’re ignoring the official number because there was at least 48,000 there. Honest.

 

Leipzig only brought 31 fans. That’s why it looked empty. Honest. 

[Scott_M]

Trying to get City’s average attendance, but it’s impossible. 

Although the below might be “factually” accurate, in reality there aren’t…

 

 

…how many empty seats do you ever see at Anfield in any competition? Barely any. How many do you see at City, even for big games? Plenty. 
 

What I would say in City’s defence (I know) is that they didn’t used to fill the Emptyhad at 48k so it seems pointless expanding to 55k.

 

However, they’ll point them mostly selling out the bigger games as the reason why they have a 55k ground, as it generates extra income in those additional games.

 

Also, they hold a lot of gigs there. The extra capacity when Bon Jovi or Spice Girls play there make it worth while. 

[Scott_M]

Stupid fuck. 
 

The stats might tell us the stadium is full but people’s eyes tell them something significantly different. 
 

They might not have 3-4k tourists (although they try desperately hard to) but they do give away substantial numbers to their academy, schools and groups for free.

Big difference between actual attendance and number of tickets sold/ given away/ lost in the post.

This is the Emirates in the Emery years and is quite clearly empty, yet recorded as a full house, but there are legitimate resons for a lot of the empty seats, season ticket holders non attendance, touts have a fucking load of season tickets they sell for individual matches that not cunt was buying, then just the normal reasons on top.

 

City don't have that excuse as they don't have the season ticket numbers that Arsenal have, so their empty seat are seats that have not been paid for in the first place.

That’s not what their accounts say.

Still bummed Jacky G went there. A player like him should be playing every game in a full stadium of adoring fans.

That’s not really a valid excuse. Surely at the Emirates they have a system to see what tickets are actually used on the night, not just tickets sold. It’s total fraud.

Loads of clubs provide attendance based on tickets sold. 

[Scott_M]

Their supporters groups are only upset because their own manager has highlighted to everybody how shite they are.

 

Pep is right,

Your fans are shite.

The whole saga is fucking hilarious.
