I’m going to be blunt here, but the number of empty seats at the Etihad this evening is an embarrassment.

United are absolute rubbish at the moment, playing for nothing in the league, and we still sell out every home game. City are fighting for top four and a Champion’s League spot and there are empty seats everywhere.

Really, really poor.

City don't have the draw tho do they? United have decades of bringing in crowds. IE from all over. The cockney reds. I have a season ticket colleague at work. Lives in London. Where as city the fans are more local and not as many? Stadiums too big

It’s not a great look

Don’t think would ever see many top clubs have that many empty seats

They don’t have the same draw, I agree. But as multiple title winners in recent years you’d still think they could sell out a big end of season fixture. And despite appearances, the Etihad isn’t actually that big. I think the capacity is actually over 20,000 less than OT.

It really doesn't matter and it's pretty pathetic you think it does tbh. Typical Utd and Liverpool fan. Really read some tosh on here, I'm just waiting on the happy clappers comment, the funding from the middle east and so on.

My apologies. I’ll never, ever refer to another football club in a negative light, banter or otherwise, ever again.
 
We’re all Villa though aren’t we

Hmmmm.

Purely from a Forest point of view it’s a difficult one. Whilst I’d love for it to be us, you and Toon at the end, right now this moment a City win is slightly preferable for us tonight.

You win, it puts more pressure on us. City win….well, they’re probably gonna get a CL place anyway and it means you don’t gain any ground.

I’m not cheering for City though, you understand. It’s purely a selfish, Forest-centric point of view. I guess you were hoping for a Spurs win last night for similar reasons.

I think a scrap for more positions is better for both our chances atm. City walking away with one doesn’t do either of us any favours
