Really looking forward to the home curtain-raiser for the new Championship season against Villa.
The game last season was credited with an attendance of 21,391 and the atmosphere was t'rrific - the Villa fans were giving it ('til we scored) and we got stuck into Jack (Can't Be Arsed to Pull Me Sox Up) Grealish. John Terry is an added 'attraction' this season and Villa have asked for an allocation of 5,000 tickets. I see that the centre of the Ninian is virtually sold out already.
So, will we crack 25,000 for our first home game of a new season - with all that pent-up optimism looking for a release?
25k likely. Guaranteed Villa will win.
He's shagging all your wives, he's shagging all your wives...
I'm a glass empty guy and always expect the worst from City. I think after 50 odd years I am entitled to my misery. Having said that I am quite hopeful about the new season.
What would please me more than seeing 20,000 plus City fans there for the Villa game would be confirmation that getting on for a third of them were not just watching the first of only two matches they'd attend all season (the other one being on Boxing Day) - I reckon we'd have to put in a sustained promotion challenge or make it through to the latter stages of one of the cup competitions for it to turn out different.
