Manchester United's fans are having some fun at the expense of their Manchester City counterparts.
City supporters sing 'this city is ours' because United is in the Trafford borough.
United's sing in response 'this city is yours? 20,000 empty seats, are you sure?' with an expletive thrown in.
There were a lot of empty seats for City's FA Cup semi-final victory over Southampton on Saturday.
Chelsea didn't sell out either and it's on their doorstep. I saw an interesting snippet from a newspaper that someone posted. It was one of those "On this day" items and was referring to Rat boy making his debut at the swamp in 1992 against Torpedo Moscow in a Uefa cup tie. The crowd? 19998. Bit more than 20000 empty seats me thinks.
Many, years ago, to my utter shame I went to a night match at the swamp, my mate had free tickets given to him. Anyway the rags were playing Wimbledon, they were in top division then, awful game I think rags won . Attendance 25,000 it’s a myth this full stadium nonsense.
