3,000 short of capacity with no away support is poor?Bongo Joe said:Also right about the attendance, very poor. Not sure what competition we have to play in for people to want to come.
I know a lot of people can't go for certain reasons, whether its financial or other commitments and that's fair enough, but I think there's a lot of people out there who just generally can't be bothered and just watch it on TV. Also a lot probably adopt the attitude of 'Why pay £25 when I can watch it on TV?'. Disappointing if so when it's the first time we've played in this brilliant competition.
Problem with CL games that you don't get with league games is every match is on TV which means it's much easier for people not to go as they'll still get to see the game.
Get you

I just feel it should be full for the Champions League no matter who we play, just like it is when we play the big teams in the league.cleavers said:Can't agree on that, I thought it was an excellent attendance, especially considering they brought 17, its almost the same number of City fans as we get for a league game.
I think it's a given that the family stand always has empty seats since we changed it but the top of both third tiers were fairly bare and some of the 2nd tier.
Its funny how we can sell out for Wigan and not CL

Not sure that's true. I don't think the sponsors take up 4/5 thousand seats.
4 or 5 thousand? Do you even have the slightest clue our maximum attendance is 45,000 for CL? You're sounding quite dim if you do.
