Pretty daft of City to give United such a small allocation with so many empty seats. Could have squeezed a fair few more in at a decent wedge.

Man City have adverts on every local radio station down here, practically begging you to buy tickets for their home games.

I wouldnt mind, but that was for their European games too, i think their fans must be fed up with all that silky losing football.

About 55K capacity. Considering they'll tell you they got about 700M fan in division 2 if you're ever daft enough to listen to one of their fans I'm suprised they can't fill it.

United handed tickets back because they couldn't shift them. They obviously aren't confident.

Some of the diving has been ridiculous. Martial at it twice, man mountain Toure being felled by Herrera, Rashford rolling about and Sterling being blown over by a stiff breeze.

Another EPL disappointment so far. United content sitting in and City looking pretty toothless trying to break it down. A good chance for Aguero and a couple of shots from distance has been their whack.

There's a section at the back of the main stand of 1,000 seats or so that is all season tickets bought by football travel groups at the start of the season to take school groups down. Guessing they will be using them

Away from home they sell out. Home games are a struggle these days with upper tiers closed some games.

He did. Mental behaviour from a guy that had been booked 10 seconds earlier. Even if Aguero hadn't gone down that's at least a booking.

I'd stop short of full headbutt but definitely enough contact to merit a red card.

It was nowhere near enough to knock Aguero flat on his back.

I'm not sticking up for Fellaini, he shouldn't have got himself in the position where he's giving Aguero the opportunity to get him sent off, especially when he had been booked only seconds beforehand.

However Aguero needs to take a look at himself and I actually hope he's punished by the FA. The cheating and play acting involved in football nowadays is beyond a joke.

Agreed embarrassing from Aguero, but Fellaini played right into his hands and deserved the red card.

I'm not disputing that. The first thing I said in my first post was that it was crazy by Fellaini. I don't know what possessed him to do that so late in the game and so soon after being booked. I'm sure Mourinho will be fuming with him.

Aguero's reaction is ridiculous though, regardless of anything else.

City were getting 28,000 crowds in the third tier. That was home end sell out for a total capacity of 30,000.
