Why didn't the fans turn up last night ?

Might be because both managers totally disrespected the FA Cup to such an extent that they both fielded a reserve side. Hence the match being one of the worst i have had to endure for many a year. Never i have i seen such a passionless gutless display from both teams and from there managers. The FA Cup used to be special something to look forward to but last night was pathetic. Thank you Cardiff City and Stoke City. I hope Wolves do Stoke in the next round as neither team deserved to go through

They must of heard the team news before they left .

A. Cup competitions are no longer that relevant in today's game
B. Not really in City's best interest to progress in the cup this year
C. Was on TV for free and we are in a recession
D. Stoke not really an attractive side (no disrespect)
E. Big name players were left out of both squads
F. Mid week game so some (like me) had work commitments

All in all it was a bit of a non event and an unwanted distraction. I'm so focussed on promotion I'm glad its over, role on the Championship!

We had a bigger crowd than Wolves on tuesday

It wasn't so long ago 13,000 would have been a decent crowd for a league game

Correct and I can remember us getting 11,000 for a league game in the old Division 2 about 10 years ago and everyone thinking how brilliant that was.

13,500 was an excellent turnout when everything is considered.
