That’s so so embarrassing. The most pointless comparison especially when Southampton’s stadium is much smaller so even a sellout looks small in comparison.

villa4europe Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Comparing a 2012 all seater stadium attendance with a pre WW2 crowd Next week they're doing a feature on how those 84,569 fans also went to grimsby away in league 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Man City have the classic problem that they are now a tourist club with all the glory supporters and the real fans don’t number enough to half fill the ground. In the penalty being over turned that would 100% not have happen if it was the other way around. On VAR as a whole we seem to have accepted it ruining games and stopping us supported that fund thus game celebrating anything and then you see a an awful refs decision getting to get turned and the pundits get erect about VAR working as it meant to by taking 5 minutes out of the game, ignoring the piss poor decision in the first place. If we had anywhere near competent officials we wouldn’t even need VAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. not sure about buying their own tickets, but every single ground in the country calculates attendance this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 How was that penalty overturned. To go over to the monitor, look at Kyle Walker NOT get a touch on the ball and basically climb over Armstrong from behind? WTF is going on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 The fact he was even asked to go and look though. What did they see to even think of overturning that? Stinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) I honestly can't figure out how between two trained professional referees, with the benefits of replays and time to think that we keep seeing such outrageously poor decisions that constantly go in favour of the most marketable teams. If there was matchfixing, they wouldn't be so egrarious to do it in such plain sight, surely. Edited September 19, 2021 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen they say they have a 95% attendance on avg but everytime you watch Man City at home you can visably see plenty of empty seats. You quite often see the attendance around the 50k mark announced on home matchdays which would be 90%+ when in reality I would guess it looks closer to 75-80% (maybe lower) full and that can't just be down to people not turning up.

It could just be that people buy them and don't turn up. Not exactly beyond the realms of possiblity if the tickets are cheap and the fans are plastic.
