They won’t be happy if they are selling tickets for a tenner just to fill the holes. I mean, bring them down too. Get people in and find the money in other avenues, using the full stadium too. I know it’s not easy but the money is in TV and advertising now, not the gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not easy but the money is in TV and advertising now, not the gates. I can’t remember the details now but I remember Simon Jordan explaining once why it doesn’t work. People always say “let them in for a quid or something, better go fill the ground up” but he had good reasons why it doesn’t work (I just can’t remember them). City owners don’t need money for profit, but they need it to look remotely interested in hitting FFP rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different story as there aren't STholdrs, but they don't struggle as much for PL games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I would love to know there real attendance every game. I'm convinced they buy up there own tickets close to kick off and announce there attendance as 'tickets sold' not actual bums on seats. Even cooking the books on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do a man utd style ST holders have to pay for cup games or is the demand not there? Could be that ST holders have actually bought a CL ticket but don't go so the sales are higher than bums on seats Doesn't escape from the question as to why they aren't going though I might be an odd one out here but I would like to watch my team play leipzig, I would love the away game too, this in the CL where 2 teams for a narrative cos they play each other 4 times in 5 years that I can understand if attendances dip but to my knowledge city have never played leipzig, for that reason alone I'd want to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2021 I'm not sure I'd be bigging up attendances when the stadium is leased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 VP was absolutley rocking - the commentators turned down their crowd noise and STILL couldn't hear anything else through their headphones. Against Everton. Citeh's problem is entirely that they have been unnaturally boosted, it's not organic, just cash fuelled, and they do not have the people they need to attend. Pep will **** off soon, he KNOWS he's had 1Bill to spend and he KNOWS the stadium is empty. **** shambles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
