The City Is Yours? Really?

With tickets being sold at just £25 for adults and £5 for kids, Manchester City failed to sell out their first ever Champions League game last night.

The opposition were no minnows either, with Napoli finishing 3rd in Serie A last season and boasting the talent of Edinson Cavani, who was last season’s 2nd highest scorer.

After coming nowhere near close to selling out their allocation for Wembley in this summer’s Community Shield, and now failing to see out their club’s biggest game, how on earth can City fans claim Manchester is blue with a straight face? Only 41,426 bothered to show up last night (taking in to consideration the 2,600 Napoli fans adding to the overall attendance) which is embarrassing. Joke club, joke support.

In contrast, during the 1974-1975 season, when United were playing in Division 2, we had the highest average attendance in the country, of 48,389. That year in Division 1, Liverpool averaged 45,966 and City averaged 32,898.

Welcome to Wastelands, sit where you like.

Just come on here to wind you donkeys up. Yes I was there in 67 and it was a time when there was respect in the game. Idiots like you have no respect. All you know is hate.

Don't you think it's a good thing that United and City are leading the way? It's good competition and great for the city, but you morons can't see past your own hatred to see that.

Ask yourselves this. Why is a united blog commenting on City's attendances? What the hell is it to us? The author continually writes carp on here and you sheep follow it and teh second someone disagrees with his word, you lot turn on them.

Ans Costas, it normally helps to have some intelligence in order to waste it. And yes, Gary Neville was, and still is, a cunt.

Remind me again what the attendance was at uniteds first ever champions league game at OT was? 33K rings a bell but i suppose its better then the 19k who attended the Uefa cup game against Torpedo Moscow......

Wow that told me.

Talking of lack of intelligence and RedKonvict comes along and proves a huge point. Hate spreads among you and it's people like this idiot who start it. How exactly are you going to get me beaten up? Another keyboard warrior in the making here.

I'm not full of hate, I'm enjoying both teams being at the top of the league but it's a real shame you lot allow your hatred spoil something which could be really good for the city. I have disagreed with some of Scott's posts and have been villified for it. I am entitled to my opinion but obviously you only have one opinion.

Gary Neville was a cunt, a BIG cunt. he always has been a cunt and always will be a cunt. The only cunt bigger than gary neville was his mothers in order to squeeze that cunt out. RedKonvict is running a close second though.

Do your worst RedKonvict.

Good point BlueSmith. The Streford End was once known as a sea of faces, not that this lot of post 1993 bandwagon reds would know, but in the eighties and early nineties it was anything but.

bluesmith good research but in sure if we dug into citeh past attendances we could find a few shockers

point is u claim the city is blue and can travel that short distance to fill your place on major occasions such as the Napoli game

and if you want to point out attendances mate thats fine check the stats and you will find for bar a handful of seasons since the 60's united have always been the best supported club in the land my friend

not the best stick 2 bash us with when it comes to support

I'm from Brazil and i support the Clube Náutico Capibaribe, by rights manchester is blue being the gallaghers home town because oasis is more popular than someone else from manchester... At the coms had 100% fans while old trafford are 50% tourists, the whole world know manchester is blue... Maybe grey never red... Pelé > Giggs > zidane > rivaldo > maradona = shit = argentina
