Empty Seats

[BlueinBosnia]

Looked like there were far less empty seats at the end than for a typical Prem game today...

People also stayed in numbers until final whistle

Wish I could've been there

About time . I know people have reasons but hate it when Blues up and leave

[carolina-blue]

Early days yet only a couple of minutes into the arse game but nobody has mentioned all the empty seats for the cup holders hhhhhmmmm..

That's what I meant. Attendance 44,309, as well. Allowing for the 6K visitors, that's 38,000 City fans, and I'd guess the stadium was over 90% full at the final whistle, compared to around 65-70% for most league games.

Hardly surprising though. We were attacking and looking for a winner.

Most people leave early say when we are 2/3 up and just passing the ball around and the game's petered out.

Or the lack of atmosphere.

Yeah. Your right mate . They must be waiting to be entertained

I wonder if the fact that 6,000 seats had been taken by Wednesday fans had anything to do with it?

That still means that 38K in attendance were City fans - with 90% (at a guesstimate) staying to the end, that means we had 34K home fans in the stadium at full time; far more than for the majority of games this season.

Great attendances these days. I've sat in amongst 19,000 others for the FA Cup against the likes of Leicester etc.

Pleasing. Good stuff.

I remember it well. It was my one and only time in the Colin Bell. Talk about a library, the only entertainment was Psycho's antics in his technical area.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Only 27000 at Barca? Shit club, fickle fans, no history, disgrace etc etc yawn yawn

I like what this thread has become - keep spotting the hypocrisy.

Even more shock horror, we actually beat Wigan in the FA Cup that day too.

This is absolutely spot on.
