    Not even 20,000 in there today for the biggest derby in the world.

    Second rate sport!

    19,000 wasn't it? Very poor considering what the weather's like, and it being on Good Friday

    Bloody good attendance for a regional/minority sport though :)

    The eggchasing community will be getting p*ssed now in my local, so I'll give it miss till tonight - by which time they'll probably have drunk themselves to oblivion and stopped cat calling each other (pathetic) or better still stopped scrapping amongst themselves.

    You should do it comfortably. As I understand it (but I'm often wrong), City's gates are people in attendance, but FC's declared gates are actually tickets sold, so pass holders etc are counted even if they don't turn up (which apparently isn't an insignificant number as they're not that expensive).

    surprising not a full house with the weather. Watched the match on Sky, looked like a fairly decent game

    I watched the match on SKY because I had nothing better to do.

    My only thoughts were about the state of the pitch for tomorrow and how much bigger the KC looks on TV.
