City are looking for social media influencers to talk up the atmosphere at the Emptihad because they dont expect their core fans to turn up for champs league games.
How very desperate.

Agreed Elvis.
The other thing is the repetitive nature of it. We've played Shakhtar as often as we've played you the last few seasons!
If they could somehow do it so you don't have two teams in the same group two years running (which would be a nightmare to work out and potentiall inpossible, admittedly!) then I'd be slightly more interested.
At the moment though, given every game is on tv too, personally I don't go to a group game unless there's a team or a player on that team that I really want to see and haven't done recently before.

No offence to the competition as well but city should, and do, cruise their groups so people may want to save money for later rounds, and as far as I'm aware (going by my chelsea ticket) season tickets dont include European games.
Having said that, my ticket for euro group games is only 30/35 quid.

MITs less just the ticket money (as the club do price them very cheaply for CL), it's everything else too.
I do think it's a bit exaggerated as well. We got 49k last night, Spurs got 51k. I get why the club would want a full house every time, the core support isn't too different to others though. I actually think United and Liverpool are more the exception in terms of how much they like the European nights, which isn't surprising given their history and success in it.

Yes, that was what I was getting at with the group of death comment. Unless you are in a hard group, the result doesn't really matter too much, unless you feck up and needs points in the last couple of games.

yeah, I got 2 out of the 3 home games for this group, albeit I only didn't get the first one because I missed the sale date as was away. We ended up losing 1-0 to valencia ffs lol

Good job most clubs fans dont take that stance. Imagine where even some big Championship clubs would be If they thought the opposition wasnt sexy enough or were too familiar to bother going.

You’re missing the point though as we’re solely talking about European midweek group games rather than domestic. I had a season ticket when we were in both the championship and league one and loved it.

Ha! You must have done it early as it's been pulled already and it wasn't the club (so the OP isn't quite right either)

They saw my CV and knew they didn’t need to carry on receiving applicants.
