M18CTID said:I'd say it was nearer 2k off capacity last night and that is borne out by their attendance against Galatasaray which, as you have kindly pointed out, was 1500 more than this game. And while I'm nowhere near as obsessed with empty seats as some of our red friends, I'll confess that late yesterday afternoon I had a quick peek at their website and found that there were plenty of blocks with seats still available, and in some instances - particularly the upper echelons of the East Stand - there were hundreds of seats available in several blocks

The point being that some (not all) Rags cast the first stone in the "empty seats" war yet when the same gets pointed out to you* that Old Trafford isn't full for every game, it gets swept under the carpet.
*Don't even think about claiming you don't support them - there's been a strong whiff about you ever since you joined this forum yet you haven't got the balls to admit it. Fair play to JM - at least he's open about the club he supports and still has the intelligence to comfortably hold his own on here when the flak is flying.

The point still stands that 73k on a tuesday night against Braga is a good turnout.
Yes, I am a rag and I keep cats, and I slap sleeping people on trains, startle people with bangers, steal fence panels, smoke in toilets, wear beany hats indoors, watch x factor, have a latin tattoo and visit homes for broken girls with a cigar and a blonde wig.....how's about that, then?
