Us lot,you know the ones who never fill a stadium could only get a gate of 40,000,which equates to only a pathetic 85.11% (based on a 47,000 capacity)
Well aren`t they a wonderful set of fans over at Trafford who boasted a whopping 3.04% increase over our wonderful Blue fans.
Take into consideration the shit weather and a woeful kick off time for us,then its time for them to start looking at their own fans and asking a Delia "lets be havin` you"
Congratulations you wonderful Blues Fans.

He was seriously comparing our game to theirs, they really are obsessed with us and attendences, it surprised me because he's normally ok, shows how much all this is getting to them, he sent me another expecting me to congratulate them on a decent turnout lmao.

As far as I know this was certainly the case for the CL,but whether they could opt out with it being a different competition,I`m not sure.

OP: Thursday night is inconvenient for the tourists and day trippers from down south, and if not for them United would get around 50,000 per match from their northern support.
I would also imagine that our next EUROPA home game will see us getting a near sell out,based on an 7.45/8.00pm KO.
It will be Sporting Lisbon at 6:00 or 8:05 on 15 March.
I want to see what happens in the away leg before making predictions for the home attendance.
If the kick off is 8:05 I would hope for a 40,000 plus attendance.

that's because it's all they've got at the moment. even attendance will flip round in time.
enjoy the ease of getting tickets for games while you can. it's going to be very different for various reasons in a couple of years.
