Watching Man City last night I was amazed at the number of empty seats in their stadium. This is a team playing to go back top of the Premier League, one trophy already in the cabinet, going for two more, playing some of the best football we've seen at times and with historically a strong local fan base. The atmosphere was terrible. Rather have the new stadium smaller but full myself. As long as the club have a policy of ensuring the local fan base have enough season tickets to cover demand then the rest of us will just have to take our chances on general sales and enjoy those occasions we get to watch Everton in hopefully one of the best atmospheric stadiums around.
Cant see for the foreseeable future match day ticket revenues being the financial driver of taking teams from best of the rest to top six challenger.
They've got the champions league matches, two wembley trips and a few london aways coming up to be fair so I can see the fans being stretched.
Although to be fair, I've never seen united have this problem, but then again they're the most supported team iin he world.
