Maybe you’re right re City allocation timeline GJ. All I know is that the press have widely reported that City were struggling to sell out, and that in response City supporters groups were complaining that their semi was on Sunday as many of their fans have work on the Monday (which tbh seems like a soppy excuse to me but there it is).
And when you add to the above Pep’s stated displeasure with lack of atmosphere at the Etihad (and so many supporters leaving early at games) then it seems City as a club are maybe having to contend with a larger percentage of glory hunting ‘football tourists’ than most. Don’t get me wrong, every big club has them these days. It just seems that City’s problem is worse?
