    It's on ESPN , could that have something to do with it?
    Seems like a silly time for a football match on a Wednesday!

    Copied from BBC sports live football feed:

    "By the way, the reason City are playing Porto so early today is twofold: Firstly, Greater Manchester Police would not let this game take place on the same night as Manchester United's home game with Ajax. And, secondly, Uefa would not let it take place at the same time as this evening's Champions League games. I would hope City are getting some compensation over the reduced attendance tonight... although by saying that I know I am inviting comments from people keen to point out they often have a few empty seats anyway!"

    I can understand them playing tonight, with United due to play at home to Ajax tomorrow night.

    Ah! CAFC Luke got in there first.

    4-0 and the blue half of the city celebrating in the local hostelries by 7pm. And that's just the players. It's going to be a long night in Madchester !

    How many away fans?
    (And what percentage of their average home gate did they take away?)
