As the record attendance for one of these finals was 80 000 and therefore every other final having less than this it doesn't really support your argument. I can't find figures for previous finals but by definition it would seem that most brought less than 40k. If every team brought 40k every...

Both Venus and Slade have said straight after games that protests had no effect on the result. In fact Slade said after the Charlton game he had no problem with what went on. The fact remains that you seem to see protests as against the team. It is black and white, because they are not against...

Your quote refers to fans being behind the players and not against them. I say again I have never seen an protest against the players. By definition, if you are NOPM you are not at the games so are not against the players. Surely you do realise that protest are certainly black and white. The "...

When has a protest been aimed at the players?

Look at what you said. The protests that take place are never against the players. It is always against Sisu.

Not true. Forty thousand at Wembley shows the potential of this club if someone comes in and at last gets things right. The 8k that will turn up on Saturday will also show that despite everything that has been thrown at this club we can still attract larger than the league average attendance...

I'm somebody who believes that CCFC needs fans and the players will be helped with fans behind them rather than against them. Again, I'm not bringing morals or principles into it. I have joined in as many of the protests as I can. I have never been against the team. I don't think any other...

I like the Liverpool people. When ever I have been there I have found them to be friendly and funny. For one game up there I was in a beaten up old mini. I stopped at some traffic lights when a young lad knocked on then opened the drivers door and asked if I was going to the game. When I said I...

The first one is my favourite kit ever probably because it was around when I was young and we had the best City team I have ever seen (probably will ever see). So it makes me think of Tommy Hutch, Wallace and Fergie, Graham Oakey and Bobby McDonald. Wonderful players and a wonderful team. The...

He also said when he left that at some stage the owners are going to have to put money into the club if they want to succeeed. Even Fisher himself said our budget wasn't high for this league.

You seem to be taking the moral high ground yourself!

I have a season ticket, go to a fair few away games and I have never read anything on here where I felt someone on here was having a go at me for supporting my club. I've got no problem with any City fan going to support the team at Wembley. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned.

Some games were all ticket. The quarter final game against Wolves was so fairly accurate away attendance figures were available.

That was the official attendance wasn't it. The amount inside the ground was more than that though as some of the gates were burst open by those stuck outside and apparently hundreds (thousands?) more got in for free. Not sure why other attendances where the gates remained intact would not be...

I was an Alvis apprentice too, 1973 to 1977. Then worked in Plant Layout for two years. Probably a bit older than you as I think I had finished my apprenticeship by the time of this game. When were you an apprentice there? There was also a young guy there on crutches swinging them around his...

I think that was pre Avramovitch and even though Chelsea had got to the Cup Final the gate was about 8k. Now they are one of the "big" Europeon clubs but only on the back of money. Just shows there is still hope for us if someone can come in and get things right.

Just about to say the same thing. At one stage he was being hailed as the new Bobby Moore. I think it was Richards who really did him for pace for their first goal. The real BM had little pace too but presumably made up for this in ways which our Bobby couldn't.

Remember that game too. I think we had 17k. Really disappointing performance too. We had Stein and Alderson up front they had Dougan and Richards. I really thought we were going to Wembley that year as we had a team playing well and full of goals. Never got going in that game, lost 2-0.

Just had a look and found the book. This is Ian Wallace just after he scored the first goal. Possibly Emlyn Hughes behind him. City fans in the background. Sorry it is the wrong way up. I can't see how to rotate it. Looked this game up in the book. Attendance of 33k at Anfield for the first...

I was at that game at Anfield. We did have a massive following that night of over 10k I think it was. It was a great game too with Wallace giving us the lead (the picture of him turning away with his clenched hand in the air as the ball rolls back out of the net was the cover picture on a book...
