My question is ; Is it possible to bring Sophie to matches at COMS in her kitten box and can she come in for free?

If your watching on the tele your a cunt will soon be our anthem although that would mean we'd actually have to sing and support the lads so might just become/ remain a library.
Maybe we just need to get used to the fact that we no longer can claim to have a great support.
I love the FA Cup and it is my dream to still be around when City finally win it. Every year I watch the cup final with a sick feeling in my stomach because I am so jealous of the fans that are there.Socrates wrote:King Kev wrote:I was going to post something about the hardcore of 25000-28000 earlier but twice deleted what I had typed because I realised that it was part of that hardcore that was booing at the end!rick1894citizen wrote:The attendance was pathetic but apart from the hardcore of fans who go each week, we seem to have alot of a whiney little bitches who come up with bullshit excuses to try and feel less guilty about not going, most other clubs in our financial position would be selling out every week and not at the cheap prices we charge.

The hadcore isn't even that big for Cup games Lee. Lots of people take the chance to take their kids to a Cup game and the crowd is substantially softcore support. Myself included. Wasn't 100% sure I was ready for the stress of a game again (nearly ended up in hospital last time as I got so hyperglycemic) but it was my friend's lad's birthday and he has never been so I got us 3 tickets and we went. I got the impression that several of the people around me had never been to a game before either. Either the make up of the crowd has changed a lot since I was a regular or it was very much a "Cup game" crowd.

Having said that, I hate being surrounded by fans that obviously rarely go to games. During league games I sit/stand with the same people week in and week out, many of whom I have had seats close to since Maine Road. I know they have suffered along with me and we know each others personalities. They know I sometimes lose it and scream and shout and they know it is because I am passionate about our team. During Cup games if I shout or sing I usually have about a dozen people staring at me as if I am some sort of nutter. I'm sure this happens to other people and probably accounts for the lack in atmosphere during most cup games.

Sems that all the games weren't the best attended, but Bolton has to be the one singled out for ridicule. 13,000 is a disgrace!

That my friend is the nail on the head.
When I got home, I got ready and took the wife out, and the pub was full of city fans who had watched it on the box, and were in a merry mood. My first thought was CU*NTS, its not been the football thats made you merry. i was totally gutted with our performance and a couple of rag mates were commenting about our shitty turnout, and how our clubs ambition didnt match that of some of our so called fans.
Hopefully we can turn this tie around and go all the way, and then listen to the poor fulkers who cant get tkts for the final, because of blah blah blah.
It might be a better idea for the club to start a scheme for cup games to coincide with getting tkts for the final. IE having to attend 66% of the home ties

Would have been nice for the club to have done this for the Hamburg game- where they done the £5 a ticket deal. Pissed me off when I went to UEFA games before that and got great seats,but for the Hamburg game I had to make do with a seat in the 3rd tier !
Now, Ill also say that I havent been to as many games as Id like, this season. Its hard work and costs alot of money as I live about 120 miles away!! I have also just lost my job, so saving the money and watching at home as defo the better option for me at the mo..Although im going up for the City V liverpool game..cant wait for that!!
I also think that the fans that do attend,whether it be a full house or 20,000, should make some fookin noise!! Watched the Palace v Villa game earier and 20,000 there made more noise than Iv heard at Eastlands in a long while! something needs to be done to get the fans behind the team again..

That's a very fair point mate and I totally understand your predicament, however it does go towards the point of the pull of certain teams. You are prepared to travel for the 'Pool game yet not for the Stoke etc. Quite a few people I know are in the same boat after being laid off or with the prospect of it.

Iv really got to pick and choose my games at the mo and it only makes sense to save the cash and watch at home and use that saved cash to get up to the games that ent on tv.…

I don't agree that the FA Cup is in its death throes but will concede that it is severely devalued from its previous high place.
When I was kid, the FA Cup was as important as the League. It was rich in the culture and romanticism of football. Great stories and legends abounded and were handed down as folklore.
It was a day that the World stopped and Manchester City Centre was full of shopping women and little kids, kicked out of the house by husbands who didn't want to be distracted from the pageant and celebration that cup final day was.
Much of football these days is too much media hype and insufficient substance.
