Napoli attendance {merged}

[M18CTID]

It was a very good attendance in the end and I don't see how anyone can criticise it whoever they support. Even the family stand was full and the only empty seats available to the public were several hundred towards the back of CBL3. They'd have definitely been filled as well if the 70 point restriction hadn't been in place because just by looking at this forum alone there were plenty of cases of fans not being able to buy tickets because of that. Plus there was the general chaos with the ticket office that ensued immediately prior to the game which by all accounts prevented hundreds of fans from getting tickets.

Rag and media WUM's can get to fuck for me. Many Rags either have no idea or conveniently forget that there are a whole load of skeletons in their closet regarding attendances at their European games in the 1990's. So for any of you lurking cunts, let's once again remind you of this particular stat:

City - a thousand or so below capacity for our first ever Champions League group game. Attendance: 44,000.

United - seven thousand below capacity for their first ever Champions League group game. Attendance: 33,500.

As part of my missionary work can you let me know who the 33,500 was against?

AIK Gothenburg in September 1994 - their first ever Champions League group game.

Others worthy of mention too, some of which you've already touched on - European Super Cup vs Red Star Belgrade in 1991 where, if memory serves me right, the crowd was around 22,000.

UEFA Cup vs Torpedo Moscow - 19,998.

And their first European home game after the ban on English clubs from competing in Europe was lifted, in 1990, vs Pecsi Muncas in the European Cup Winners' Cup - 28,000.

90 pages for what?

We sold out bar a few in the 3rd tier....It matters not,If you were there then brilliant.I will never forget it,If you weren't for whatever reason it doesn't matter.I know lads who work shifts and physically cannot get the time off but never miss a game when they are off...

Everyone flapping about what the rags think...It really doesn't fucking matter..

What do you think our crowds will be in 20yrs if we win half of what those cnuts have?

Just laugh at them, that's all you need to do.

Please stop talking about the attendance and please stop talking about the Rags attendance in 1993 :/

Those mentioning rags, dont forget they were going through the redevlopment stage of OT about that time.

The gates were well below the reduced capacity still.

Do you think I don't know that? Not one example I've highlighted was anywhere near their capacity at the time each game mentioned took place.<br /><br />-- Sat Sep 17, 2011 11:12 am --<br /><br />

Exactly. It wasn't us that started this largely pointless pissing contest but I'm fucked if I'm going to sit there and take their bullshit without ramming a few home truths down their throats.
