The Hornets were given 6,000 tickets for the game.

surely they'll give us more tickets....6k is hardly 25% of the Etihad is it!!!!!
If we do sell all ours there maybe some home tickets unsold but that's obviously a last resort. Naturally you'll need to bite your tongue and sit on your hands when we score .... might be hard when the third goes in.

The record attendance at the Etihad is 47,435, 15% of that is 7115. We've been short changed.

I do hope that this does not prove a distraction to the players though beforehand or afterwards.
We are in with a good shout of promotion which has to remain the main focus. This is just a bit of fun with no pressure whatsoever.
No better time to play them though.

Really excited by this one, will be a good test on the pitch and hopefully a good old knees up in the seats, might even pick up a few quid in coins up there!!!

Looks like I may be sitting in with the City fans at this rate. The up side is that I won't be kept in for an hour after the game and will be on my 2nd pint in Manchester whilst the supporters in the away end are still listening to non stop Oasis over the Tanoy. Some positive posts on the City Boards commenting on the good WFC sales and looking forward to the atmosphere that should be created.

Does anyone know what the train fare is?
