It's mad now to see Man City not even close to selling out Champs League games. Cost? expectation? Right now I can't imagine a day I wouldn't go to see us in a European game but I guess that's the nature of the beast.
Don’t be fooled, horrible little creatures.
I thought they had a 15 year season ticket list, I never understood how it was a wait like people can only have a season ticket for 1 year
The mythical 90k do not all have NE postcodes (or Durham postcodes). At first you may make the effort to travel up but ultimately (if successful) you start prioritising. It’s no slight - it’s just reality. We took c55k to Wembley with vast majority of club Wembley and exec’s Sunderland. Doesn’t mean we would fill 55k each week….obviously. Well supported team and on occasion there will be excess demand but not consistently over 20+ years.
It was a protest man
I agree. I think we are about right to be honest in terms of selling out each match moving forward. If we taste success, perhaps maybe a slight increase, but, IMO a full stadium is surly better then a 65 or 70k one only two thirds full.
Cost I would imagine. City usually have 2 or 3 Wembley trips a season, 6 or 7 European away days as well as Premier League fixtures. The cost to go to most of those would be astronomical so you would have to pick and choose which to prioritise. City don’t have the worldwide support that Utd and Liverpool have, so attendances will naturally suffer at some points. They do have a brilliant hard core support but when I went there were a fair few football tourists there
I think you're right, but 20 years ago I'm sure not one Man City fan at Maine Road would have ever imagined not going to watch their team in the Champions League, and it's amazing what a period of success can do.
I’ll put it out there - you are so not having that success!
Would love to see his maths gsce result pulling figures out the air like that, 25k screaming geordies locked outside now, must just be 300k inside the ground then
Haha, goes without saying!
The game I was at, the woman behind me was complaining to her neighbour about the price of the Real Madrid tickets. I did think I would give my left bollock for the chance to see Sunderland play Real Madrid in a CL semi final
It's all relative I suppose. Hearing Man Utd and Arsenal fans moan about their situation, we can't get our heads around, then we moan and others can't understand it, then there's clubs who have went out of business who would say none of us should moan.
Only CL game I have been to was City v Bayern. What an awful atmosphere. iPads everywhere- mags careful what you wish for.
Been linked ?? Turn it in pal. Who haven’t we been linked with.
Now now jlaws. Don’t make it personal. The mask is slipping.
Don’t need to wish for it. We’ve already had it, so know how it works.
