@NOELY1982 It’s just as easy to turn tv on, question if city had spell of no success do you think it would entice a lot of older generation fans back? Why has it been so bad particularly this season?

@SpibySalford You would never understand, United 2 periods of success has been built on youth . City’s one period of success on state backed sport washing. Still I suppose you will have full house tonight for your title run in

[Magic hat 🎩 @themagic_tophat]

You can get 10 seats together for their game tonight in almost every part of their ground

There’s even a block where you can get 120 sat together 😂😭

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@PeteSvppb @manc689908 City average has gone from 28-32k to around 45k due to glory hunting fans, what you think will happen next time your in period of no success. Been more evident than ever this season How you struggle to fill for first team

Man United fans slam 'disgrace' as venue for Youth Cup final against Man City is confirmed https://t.co/TTaByouzWY

@ReedoMUFC @sistoney67 @ManUtd Very strange 20k bang on sure Leeds took 10k aswell

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@KippaxKids Because youth cup is about development see how players cope in front of 70k, and once in lifetime for many. Looking it for city I suppose playing in front of empty stadium would develop them massively. A sign of things to come

[Simon Stone @sistoney67]

Statement from MUST and fan reps on @ManUtd Fans Forum re Youth Cup final venue. Call decision 'a disgrace'. "The news that the FA Youth Cup Final, a great fixture which has heralded so many superstars of the future, is to be played in a stadium of just 6,000 people is a disgrace. Last time United were in the final we had 67,000 fans in Old Trafford so allowing this massive game to be played in front of such a paltry few fans is letting down supporters and denying these young footballers the biggest night of their careers so far. The FA needs to step in and ensure the game can be played at either the Etihad or Old Trafford. Time to put fans first for once."

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@KippaxKids You will never understand it.

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@KippaxKids Only last week there was 10k empty seats at an fa cup semi and the excuse given was cost. With the criteria for a ticket being if you had ever drove past the etihad you could have 3 tickets. United has been built on youth and for many this is the only way to get tickets.

[James Ducker @TelegraphDucker]

Can’t understand why City not agreed to FA Youth Cup final being moved to Old Trafford with club ruling out Etihad in race to ready North Stand

Ask those #MCFC U18 players if they’d prefer to play in front of 70,000 or 7,000

What an opportunity missed

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@henry_parish18 Maybe it’s because what are periods of success been built on and not state owned sport washing

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@EmiratesFACup Shame fa had not stepped in , should be at city or old Trafford it’s the biggest game in youth football.

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@lucian0j Absolute joke sums them up

[Phil Rostron ⚽️👍🍻 @bigphil321]

Memories here…
Spine tingling❤️🤍🖤

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@lukestanley03 Think the fact remains despite all the money pumped in the hardcore base has always ranged between 28-40k and that will never change. History shows that.

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@CW9_MCFC I just don’t think city’s fan base has ever got bigger always been around 35k hardcore and that never changed. The bigger stadiums just become harder to fill. But semis should not be there villa park would have been full and still fulfill city’s ticket allocation

[Paul crowther @thecrow07]

@FBAwayDays Another advert for semis away from Wembley

[Paul Manc Bald and Bred @MufcWonItAll2]

Manchester city not selling all their allocation for Wembley today. 🤣
