Brighton 35k fans - comfortably outnumbering Man City support
Complacency? Cost?

Man Citys 16th Visit to Wembley in the last 9 seasons. Probably loses its appeal after a while.... we managed to lose 4 or 5 thousand fans after playing for a 2nd time in just over a year.Brighton 35k fans - comfortably outnumbering Man City support

Never happens with their cross city rivals though. Though I have sympathy only because I don't believe semis should be at WembleyMan Citys 16th Visit to Wembley in the last 9 seasons.

They played the semis and Wembley in 93 and 94. The north London semi in 91 was played at Wembley I think for the right reasons but they were on neutral ground until the old Wembley was demolished in 2000 as far as I recall.All about money sadly. 90,000 x £xxx is too good an opportunity to turn down. This isn’t a new problem though. FAC semi finals were played at Wembley long before the new one was built. The new one never has been special. I’d rather see every game that could be played there, played elsewhere. Awful place to watch football. Far better locations out there for the games.

Did they play semis at the millennium stadium? I can't remember
Yeah but their fans only live round the corner from Wembley.Never happens with their cross city rivals though. Though I have sympathy only because I don't believe semis should be at Wembley
Probably why Raheem Sterling paid out for those tickets for all those kids. He heard a rumour there would be a drop in Man City fans!
Not Checkatrade finals ?Sell Wembley to the Americans, invest the money in grassroots football and take the England team on the road again. Wembley is used for league cup and fa cup finals only, making it special again.

They get a lot of stick City. I know 2 or 3 old school City fans and they quite rightly point out that they just aren't a big club yet. They're many years off the likes of United, Liverpool, Real, Barcelona etc.
I think it is the cost that prevents them selling out. The advantage the bigger clubs have is that if some pulls out there are 1000 more ready to pay for one ticket.
To get tickets for Liverpool games you have to have x amount of credits from games gone by, sometimes years in advance. You can just rock up at the Etihad on a match day. Mad really. Can't imagine it will stay like that for too much longer.
Liverpool need to expand or move. But at least a club not reliant on dirty money to get where they are. Hopefully they pip Pep to the title.
I'd agree. I can't see it happening for at least 20 years though. They've invested a lot in the new main stand and apparently have planning in for an extension to the Anfield Road end. If anyone has been up there since the new Main Stand was built you'd see they have zero intention of leaving. Lots of development work going on.
Yeahx theyve definitely done it the right way...it's took near on 30 years to get back to realistically challenging. Any side that can take City this close must be a top, top team.
What's the seat allocation for the semi's. Seems Wolves sold out their 33,000. If Watford got the same, who gets the rest?
Taking aside their antics in the 80s, I’ve never met a Scouse I didn’t like. Usually down to earth and football mad. Klopp at last seems to have found a way to shore up at the back without losing attacking potency. Would be happy to see them nick it but think they need United to do them a favour
17000 Wembley season tickets plus around 5k for the football family.
And the checkatrade final?
Thanks CJThe season tickets don’t include the FLT and PO finals.
It is friendly, great city which I prefer to up its own arse Manchester. Glasgow is another really friendly city too.Friendliest City in the UK by a long way. It always ammuses me the hate and slagging off it gets...quite clear whenever that happens those people have never been.
