Considering the number of them that claim they have the largest number of fans in Manchester and all ours don't come from Manchester (which is absolute bollocks ) it's amusing that they don't appear to fill the ground.
I think they ended up with one of their champions league games going on general sale last season, I think it was against a big name as well.”
I think it's just rival fans who dare I say it can be envious and jealous at times looking for something to take the piss out of, obviously with you it was the 30 odd years without a trophy and the banner that you had to take down, then it was the 'our players make history, yours money' banner that was created which has come down after realising the irony now. So it's just left to empty seats to have a go at.
Now I don't really want to get into a comparing game but it's been proven by the GMP that United aswell as City I may add have thousands of empty seats at times. All teams report attendances as tickets sold which is why they're sold out but in reality there's always people who don't turn up.
