The previous record was set at City against United on April 30, 2012 in another first versus second-place game.

So CITY are involved in the two biggest broadcast games.

Not United, who have been involved in two recent title battles. Not Liverpool, who were involved in the title battle last year. Not Liverpool vs Utd.

City.

So how would any future sponsorship deal we did which was on par with what the rags receive, be above market value ?

Things like this are really going to put weight behind us and give us a platform to argue our case.

We should charge each of the 650m homes a nominal fee of 50p for the pleasure of watching the champions of this years premier league.

:-)

Those figures really are incredible. And just shows the massive potential there is out there.

We are usually entertaining to watch. Main reason the count is here. We're playing a style with universal appeal to footy fans.

Cunts in the US and A are lapping City up. It's nearly to the point of annoyance tbf but I am proud when I see people showing some love for City... but the shit they talk and their actual lack of knowledge of the team is often sad. Worse problems in life tho for sure.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I've got the runs already from some Habanero Mango chicken wings. So good going down....but a bit too spicy on the way back out. And yes I'm typing this on the toilet.

Cheers

Thanks.

For the record the Bay Tree on Rochdale Road do the finest Naga Curry this side of ermmmm well just this side.

Sound.

...bit of media spin methinks.
All this is saying is that a lot of broadcasters are showing it ... (helped by the mighty Kazakhstan) ... The fact they show it doesn't mean people will be watching.

I travel a lot with work and City are still a long way from being first one or two prem team choice in most countries. Not that it'd a bad thing as it means we have a lot of upside opportunity. But let's get real - we have a long way to go to catch the others.

Any idea why they are all so keen to show it, with nobody watching, as oppsed to Liverpool v Utd ?

Sure. They're keen to show it as its the current top two and best teams in the league in a crunch game. Loads of people will watch it. That's not the same as its going to be the most watched game - there are a lot less City and Chelsea fans in Asia and the U.S. than Utd and Liverpool ones. In Europe as well.

That's a strange way of looking at it bayblue.

No. Not having that.

This is another record breaker. Well done city.

I go in the baytree so will have to give that a try.

On topic how do we actually know how many people will have the game on before its broadcast

You are completely missing the point.

Of course there are more Utd & Liverpool fans, but those two teams play each other regularly. Also both teams have been involved in title battles recently.; yet none of the games involving the two teams playing each other, has created the same interest amongst broadcasters, as two games involving City.

That means that broadcasters around the world see City as one of the teams which huge numbers of people are willing to watch if involved in a big game. There is no other way of looking at it. They are not doing it as a charity; they are doing it expecting people to watch it. This is proof that City, don't need to be playing v Utd or Liverpool, to be worthy of huge exposure around the world.

Therefore, we are one of the teams who can rightly expect top money for commercial deals, not some artificially promoted entity, as the uk cartel members would have people believe.

A couple of years ago, I had 20 odd, pedigree, supposedly hottest in the world, young Naga chilli plants doing very nicely indeed. I was introduced to a gardening expert who told me I urgently needed to move them into an area with more sunlight, which I did , & two hours later they looked like Yaya Toure after two 100M sprints, then they all died.

Not got round to trying it again, but will be doing it my way next time.

Nail on head.

Another perspective ...

Having travelled and worked across the globe I can tell you all that Citys support in Latin America is big and getting bigger.

When it comes to football knowledge the S Americans generally piss over supporters from India , Malaysia and numerous other countries down that way,,,,here they know their football.

In 5 years time we will have millions of fans this end of the world...for sure.

That just picks out a small number of countries & generally agrees with everything I've said.

Yeah i can't see the connection there at all.

It's like something one of my rag mates would try and retaliate with.

Proud day to be a blue

Haha.

Not sure if it's funnier that you class the U.S. , Brazil and India as small countries or that you have to claim intellectual superiority for yourself.
