Just had a read. Interesting to see the Wilberforce Suite is now the 1904 Suite and that after AP providing it free and that continuing when our benefactor came in to give the city a gift and inforned us football should be as free as the air we breathe he brought in a price for tge facility they couldn't afford. Typical City reading the article, under the ITV initiative clubs involved youngsters, the future of a club whilst we went for the oldies.

Either we have a larger proportion of older fans or older fans elswhere are made of sterner stuff. All the ones I know in their 60s who still go all stand up.

Arsenal and Man Utd are two prime examples. Sedate atmosphere at home games yet all their fans at away games stood up in contrast to them at The Emirates and Old Trafford.
