They will field a world class side. No doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardcore season ticket holders are all that go now , and despite the inevitable statement about record sales , they will drop off too I think many will not go knowing we are gonna get hammered. Be great for 10 minutes, then once City score it will be like a library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 This is what annoys me. I don't really give a flying rats ass about the attendance. Whether certain Owlstalkers attend is less than no consequence to me having a good evening. Do you honestly think the players know or care if the odd internet warrier shows up or not. 'Some' Fulham fans traveled to Manchester to see them lose 4-0 live on TV and not one person thought this was a disgrace. Man City have the most expensive squad of players ever assembled. And we are a failing basket case of a club which sometimes puts in performance. If we put up a scrap then it might be entertaining and rattle some of their younger players. If we get hammered so what, life moves on and nobody bats an eyelid. But on the other hand it might be fun. Can't believe people need dragging to watch their team in the FA cup. You take all this football lark too seriously. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendance was 15,000, so less than the number of Wednesday fans at the Everton game this season. We also played Everton in the League Cup in 2007-08 - the attendance was 5,000 less than this season....... We will have to wait and see how many turn up to the Man City game but the fact it is on TV makes a difference.

You take all this football lark too seriously. What is your point? You don't care if people go in the first part - then you say everyone should be going as it might be fun? I honestly doubt people won't be attending because they think we might get beat (no one would EVER go then!) I think its a combination of all the little bad things currently surrounding the club and football that has manifested itself in one game and a lot of people have thought s0d it. FA cup - lost it's value Midweek Team losing every week Club in turmoil Only Season ticket holders supporting the club It's on telly It's not cheap It's a shame it's not a big crowd, of course it is, but the club haven't really read the situation (again!!)

It is £25/£30 for an adult ticket, £15/£20 for oap's and under 21's and £5 for everyone under 17. That's hardly extortionate to see your team play at home against one of the best teams in world football. Even if they play the reserves it will be a squad of players that would likely finish in the top 4 in the PL. Do those that have complained about league match day prices being too high only want to turn up if we are winning every week? That's not technically how 'support' works is it? I know we are in dire form but for those who have said price is the underlying factor for not going it shouldn't be the case for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part timers have packed the club in sadly - for one reason or another Season ticket holders are fed up of seeing not great performances An extra £25.00 for the loyal supporter is pushing it a touch in current circumstances i think £30.00 to get the not bothered's off their backside for a game thats on telly is just plain pie in the sky - especially when they haven't made the effort all season This game needed a bit of bright thinking - it could have been done as kind of a ''thank you'' (i know it sounds sickly but it's how i've had done it) In the end they charged what most other clubs charge for league games - never going to go well i'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 35k there against Arsenal for the 3-0 win made it a different game to only having 21k against Everton this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may have been lost, a fair few still say their reason for not going is priced based, Tickets go on sale to everyone on the database that has got any points tomorrow - those that have been before but not in the last couple of years. Some season ticket holders might be waiting for friends/family who are in that situation so they can get tickets together, I know a couple for whom that's the case. Maybe tickets sales will increase again tomorrow. They don't look terrible now as it stands with a week to go, I reckon there will be a decent crowd.

Kids prices in general are great and i hope more than anyone it's a good crowd BUT the club needed to do that little bit extra for this game and i think they've come up short, when a bit of clever thinking might of put the whole club in a good light on the national scene again.

Don't think clubs have to agree on the price anymore but there is a minimum price set by the FA from possibly the 3rd round onwards of £10.
