Those pictures could have been right at the end of the day or hours before it started or in particularly quiet areas. The power of mediation...

Correct me if I am wrong though and only a handful of people did turn up in which case lolz

Saw a bit on SSN last night - thought City were playing a game as the stadium had at least 20,000 empty seats.

On BlueMoon they're moaning saying that there would have been 250k out but 200k got turned away due to health and safety.

How can you turn people away from an empty street? :|

You do know they counted me in the 50k and I was going to Nationwide.

I used to be quite cynical about the whole Manchester club thing but living here makes it all genuinely funny.

At least Man City is in Manchester.

Surrey United isn't.
