Attendance for Dortmund? Also banners/flares/inflatables?

[SWP's back]

39642. Now can the fans who are all over the bluemoon site demanding the club spend millions expanding for a demand that does not exist give up,if we can sell out champ league games then fill in the corners,simples eh.

United haven't sold out a Champions' League group match in years.

The planner is showing only a handful of seats available.

I suspect there are seats in the third tier that are not included on the planner but will be available at the box office.

Around 45,000 attendance.

Dont forget that both United and Citys capacity is cut by approx 2000,due to larger UEFA sponsorship hordings around the bottom 2 or 3 rows at the front.

It's the bottom 2 rows and that can't account for 2,000 fans.

there's all the seats in CB Level 3 that are taken over for extra Media and UEFA hangers on as well

Unfortunately Loukas, it's an indictment of the UK game that an atmosphere can't be created at home without the majority of it being aimed at away fans. Its 80% 'banter' and 20% support. That's why 'one end' hasn't worked.

No. The reason "one end" didn't work was because it was only done for 2 games and all the singers were spread across the end. If that kind of idea is going to take off you need to re-locate all the singers to the same few blocks and then give it a season, at the very least.

what's up with attendance tonight?

i have seen that some south stand tickets are back available now?!?!?!

Just spoke to the ticket office and the bloke said he'd very surprised if it didn't sell out with 'walk up's' before the game.

Yeah, there's a number of seats in the blocks either side of the away fans that have appeared on the planner. I can only imagine that these will be the tickets originally bought by Dortmund fans that City have subsequently cancelled and put back up for sale to our own fans.

Good thinking, I hope it is like that!
Looks like it is almost full house which is very good ...<br /><br />-- Wed Oct 03, 2012 10:54 am --<br /><br />

I seriously think it's more to do with a generational,economy thing.

There is so much more to do for today's children/teenagers etc.

I'm in my late 30s now and City was pretty much all there was to do, it was relatively affordable to do the Kippax for £3 quid, even in the late 80s- mid 90s.

You went with your mates, it was you and your team against the world. There was a sense of tribalism, the edge needed to create an atmosphere in the first place.

The new generation of fan now has so much more disposable income, if it's not the cinema, it's gaming, gigs, whatever.

And those without such an income, are priced out altogether.

Football is now for the middle classes and above who convince themselves they are still working class, whatever the hell that meant in the first place.

The best atmospheres are still created by tension, fear, desperation or hate.

UEFA also take a % of level 2 and 3 seats.
