Lublin as a whole is a poor city compared to many in Poland. They basically got promoted and got a lot of backing to buy a dream team which is soon to run out in a few years, especially now motor Lublin football team is doing better than before. I could imagine these fans are similar to Man C fans who are there for the ride but eventually it will go back to normal with smaller money and back down a league in years to come. It’s not a speedway city with rich history and dedicated  fans like many others in Poland ie Leszno, ostów, piła, Bydgoszcz etc.

How do you mean, similar to City fans?

Well half the stadium isn’t actually die hard for Man C and just jumped into the stadium when money got plowed into it and they bought the league 😂 same as Lublin, 5/6 years ago they didn’t have that many fans.

Just as I thought, you know nothing about Manchester City's history.  Maine Road was sold out when we were in the 2nd division in 1999, the Etihad has been virtually full since we moved there, the stadium is being expanded and will house 60k, it will still be sold out. 

Of course we attract tourists, it's inevitable with success, but to say our crowds are held up by bandwagon jumpers is ludicrous.

Ipswich Town struggled to pull in 20k when they were in the 2nd division recently, they have only sold out their stadium 3 times in the last 5years. 

Stick what you know about, speedway in the last 3 or 4 years and keep learning from your girlfriend.

Touched a nerve much 😂 do your homework as Ipswich was sold out multiple times this year in the premiership. Last season we had over 29,000 average attendance and championship season before was 28,834 average and capacity is 29,673 so your revision needs some updating my friend! Half empty seats at Wembley with hardcore Man City for the cup… and you only have tourists since 2007 who help you fill the stadium, pre 2007 you were in decline. Your highest attendance in 1999 was 33,027 yet Maine rd capacity is 34,026… it wasn’t sold out, if you want to keep going we can.

Stick to what you know… I’m not sure what that is but stick to it.

As I said, sold out 3 times in the last 5 years.  Sold out 6 times this millennium, small club in a small provincial town.

18/19 av att 17,765  I could go on.

Anyway it's not a dick swinging contest, my point was related to your throwaway comment, totally unrelated to speedway, not even a decent analogy.  Anyone who knows their football history would never question Manchester City fan's loyalty, ask your elders.

 

As you were
