blandy Posted June 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2021 1 hour ago, bannedfromHandV said: What I find interesting with City is that despite their insane amount of success (versus all they achieved before the last decade) their ability to fill their stadium remains doubtful, it doesn’t feel as though they’ve really gained many fans domestically, Oh, they’ve gained loads. Up here in the north west there’s way more than there used to be. They were a 30000+ kind of club, now it’s 50000+. They’re looking to expand the ground further, too. I think what’s happened is that younger people from the local area(ish) - places like Bolton, Stockport, Wigan, Preston, Macclesfield and so on are now growing up as City fans and whether they go to games (as you say, they can mostly get tickets) or just buy a shirt and watch on the telly they’ve definitely grown a much bigger fanbase. Maybe it’s predominantly north west based I couldn’t say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to run into a United fan though but guessing I'm too far North. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met a guy who lived on the apartments right opposite the Etihad. I said "lucky you, are you a man City fan"? He said no, massive Man U fan, had his shirt over the balcony. Why ohh why.........?

sne Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 So de Bruine has been playing half the tournament with a torn Achilles tendon and looks like missing the start of the season. Next season will be a mess of top players who's been ran into exhaustion and who will pick up tons of injuries once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the clubs are also at fault, I dont blame De Bruyne playing injured its probably his last Euros . The clubs are complaining about too many games yet would be happy fly around the world in pre-pandemic times for meaningless friendlies or to take part in a Super League along with the Premier League Something obviously needs to be done but I wouldnt trust any of the authorities to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's okay as they get a nice break next summer as they geniusly moved the World Cup to December. It's going to be a mess with never ending games for a few seasons yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 You can’t play with a torn Achilles tendon, there’s just no way. I ruptured mine some years back, and naturally I’m not even remotely comparable to de Bruyne in terms of fitness and physicality, nor in terms of the care I received post injury but I am confident in saying that a torn Achilles tendon is not one of those injuries you can just manage and play through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benteke ruptured his and lost 20 yards of pace overnight. De Bruyne whilst being an amazing baller is deceptively quick. In fact he is absolutely rapid and he does rely on it.

No matter how well they will do they will never be as big as a club as either of those two even in the North West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
