    If the ground was built for us to maximise income from sell out crowds then given we have only had two seasons of anything approaching decent gates .....ie when we were in the Premier league .....out of over a decade and a half then it's been a bit of a damp squid 🦑

    It's been a damp squid because the football has been dead boring in recent times and we've now reached the stage as well where we're more likely to be involved in relegation fights than promotion ones. Are you arguing that attendances would be the same if we were a side that played entertaining, often winning, football at home and lost virtually all of our away matches hence we were finishing in more or less the same position as we do now? I'd be absolutely amazed if home crowds were still as low as they are now, but, even if they were, the atmosphere would be better than it is now because people were being entertained.

    For me, this game is up there in the top twenty best City matches in the new stadium and there was a great atmosphere in the closing minutes that afternoon - the attendance was 10,961.
