Good shout. Crowd of 23400. I can't comment on Colchester numbers but if what you say is true there were still less than 23k city fans.
Reckon that would be the third highest city fans showing at the Ricoh.
Any others?
Nah, they all brought about 6k fans out of 27-28k attendances.
Only v chelsea when it sold out and v mboro when they only brought about 2k fans have we had much more than 22k city fans.
I can only think of two occassions where there have been many more than 22k City fans at a game at the ricoh - mboro and chelsea in the fac.
This game will definitely see that figure beaten.
I have had to take the afternoon off work during our busiest time of the month, rearrange a course and an important meeting plus found somebody to pick the kids up from nursery.
Can't wait.
Dion was the only player out of that lot to score his goals in the top flight. That he is disliked by so many fans is the bigger mystery.
So he moved to Villa - get over it.
