Why no full house?

I think because it's the champions league as well that has a lot to do with the attendance. I for one hate the corrupt competition with a passion. Will I support the boys all the way through it - yes absolutely. But the way we've been treated and are being treated still it leaves a sour taste.

Aye, mate. I do think most fans are realistic enough to know that we need to be in it, hence the worry mentioned by SSB, but not many have any real passion for it.

Dunno, I am not enough into Mancunian goings to assess, but couldn't it just be sth more similar to the very cockney use of many companies/businessmen to buy season tickets just to serve their business entertainment needs?
I mean now, aside the rags/dippers pushing media, everyone in the world is aware that City are the biggest entertaining thing in English Footie, hence increased appetite and all that.

I just happened last weekend to be on the receiving end of such reprehensible use and I guess that seat at Vicarge rd. will be empty most of the game.
the opposite flip of advancement, anyone?

I think the other part of this is that Season Tickets give much better access to tickets for away games. A mate of mine who's a Dippers fan paid £700 for a pair of away tickets to the Etihad a few weeks back, for him and a client. The owner of those will have paid £35 each for them, meaning a £630 profit, which in itself will have paid for one of the season tickets used to buy them. If tickets like this are sold for just 5 games a season (us, Rags, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton) at similar prices, and ones for other London games (Spurs, West Ham) at £150 a pop, that's over £2,000 per ticket, without having to even factor in home games or European matches.

Met a scouser a few year back when I was on holidays and a mate of his had set up an online business selling matchday packages at Anfield to Scandinavians.

There were a group of about ten friends that all had season tickets in the same area and would more often than not give their ticket to their mate with the online business and get a cut of the profit.

He reckoned he went to only around 4 or 5 games a year, essentially free of charge and a few hundred quid up at the end of each season with his cut of the profits.

I went to Anfield a few years ago and 75% of the people in section where we were sitting were Norwegian. The rest were Swedes.

No, they didn't turnip.
