BBC going on about attendance yesterday

Easier to attend today when man utd's fanbase is from a 40 mile radius of Wembley and Brighton are 50 minutes away on a train from Waterloo

One thing they don’t mention is there’s a tonne of corporate ticket holders for United in London. There’s three in my office of 50 people. People who sit on United season tickets for networking and relationship purposes despite rarely attending themselves. They’ve been doing this for decades, City don’t have the same representation in that strata of society (though it is obviously improving).
 
I don’t know how to feel about it- a cynic would say it’s just a dig but the topic was more around moving it up north if it’s two northern teams and the cost of going to Wembley? We don’t have a fan base the size of United obviously, but we also have been a lot more recently to Wembley than any other top 6 team, which is barely mentioned also
Exactly. The semi-finals at Wembley thing is already stupid, but criticising people for not spending a fortune travelling down for something that isn't a final is ridiculous. Especially when those doing the criticising have barely paid to attend a match in their life.
 
Do Brighton REALLY believe they can win this? I hope they do, because it's there for the taking. Utd are a middling team, nothing more. Sevilla highlighted their shortcomings last thursday, and I think Brighton are a better side than the Spaniards.

It's odd Jim, I just posted similar, the occasion seems to have got to them
 
To be fair lineker and shearer agreed it should have been up north the semi final,but we know why they won’t be,MONEY.
That view from behind the donut thief's goal was quite interesting at that corner. Quite a few empty seats in the top tier behind the Brighton goal.
