Great prices for season ticket holders especially those in the scheme. The general sale matchday tickets are eye watering.

There's little point in not selling tickets in EL3 and CBL3 as there are blocks of seats reserved for the "UEFA family" in both stands so the stewards etc would still be needed.I'll be surprised if we get over 40,000 for any of these games, even at these prices, I'm surprised they haven't left the third levels closed to start with, even though its unpopular to do that.

It's also the whole format of the competition. It's shit!I've never liked it but gave it a chance but my opinion didn't change. Our treatment on and off the field over the years if anything hardened it. I hope we win it obviously, kudos to blue's willing to stick with it.
Too many non-champions are in it, and group stages rigged so clubs like us get piss easy draws making the group stage duller than an away draw to Oxford in the EFL Cup...
Out of 24 Group Stage home games we've played in the competition, we've only really had half a dozen decent games all decade. This is supposed to be the pinnacle of the sport yet almost every game bar the odd exception in the group stage is boring. I get more excited drawing Preston away in the EFL Cup than i do some of these teams we get in the CL.
Then even the knock-out stages - teams are rewarded for their mediocrity and get to progress even when they don't win their group. Last year we played Shalke in the Ro16. Shalke weren't champions of the Bundesliga the previous season, were actually in the relegation zone of the Bundesliga at the time we played them and finished 2nd in their group in the group stage. There was nothing "Champion" about them.

Prices should be low really. A lot of SC holders do not go to CL games and a lot of fans who go to cup games go to the cup games because they can't afford a SC and can't afford inidividual match tickets for Prem games. That's why cup crowds are so different to Prem crowds.
Here are our attendance figures for the CL Group Stage over this decade...
2011:
Napoli 44,026
Villarreal 42,236
Bayern 46,002
Average 44,088
2012:
Dortmund 43,607
Ajax 40,222
Madrid 45,740
Average 43,190
2013:
Bayern 45,021
CSKA 35,000
Plzen 37,742
Average 39,254
2014:
Roma 37,509
CSKA 45,143
Bayern 44,510
Average 42,387
2015:
Juventus 50,363
Sevilla 45,595
Mönchengladbach 41,829
Average 45,929
2016:
Mönchengladbach 30,270
Barcelona 53,340
Celtic 51,297
Average 44,963
2017:
Shakhtar 45,310
Napoli 48,520
Feyenoord 43,548

Hoffenheim 50,411
Average 47,603
Overall average 44,152
Average in extended Etihad 46,073
Was 2016 Gladbach the one postponed 24 hours with an hour to kick off due to the weather? Can probably add another 10/15,000 on that gate had it been played on the correct day

Spot on! I look forward the FA cup 3rd round draw more than this rat infested carve up.It's also the whole format of the competition. It's shit!

Yes that was that game. It would be more in line with the average had it been played the day before.Was 2016 Gladbach the one postponed 24 hours with an hour to kick off due to the weather? Can probably add another 10/15,000 on that gate had it been played on the correct day

The Group Stage is literally just a filler to earn clubs money. It serves no other purpose. Other than that it is absolutely pointless! It's about as meaningful as the pre-season tournaments we play in. All you have to do is just do enough to get through and wait for the knock-out phase draw.Spot on! I look forward the FA cup 3rd round draw more than this rat infested carve up.
The whole format needs changing.
To make the group stage more interesting i'd:
- Reduce the number of teams to 28
- Have 4 groups of 7 teams (that way there will be some really tasty group stage games as you could have four really decent teams in each group)
- Play each team in your group home and away (September/Oct/Nov/Feb/Mar/Apr)
- Group winners go through to the semifinals (h+a) in late April/early May
- Final late in May/early June

It is everything that is wrong with the modern game. An over hyped wankest where the suits grab almost all the tickets for the final. The fan's are held in utter contempt, police in certain countries can charge and baton them with impunity, team buses can be smashed up with no consequences and a blind eye is cast on racism.
