Seat Counters 25/26

[JGL07]

Not been to a champions league game for donkey's years, frankly I don't miss them at all.

It doesn't stop you moaning like hell on here though!

Just seen this Facebook post of the League Cup results and attendances from October 29th 1985.

Anfield makes interesting reading when we're constantly told that they'll always be a bigger attraction

The following night at Maine Road:
Manchester City 1 Arsenal 2 18,279

I was sat in the North Stand and Arsenal brought around a thousand maximum

That’s a decent crowd at Watford when comparing with the others.

I agree, but it was a derby,about 15 miles apart. But still decent in comparison.

Short break in Liverpool?

He was made up. Last year she bought him a week in Middlesbrough

I notice Eden Hazard's dad Micky scored for Chelsea :)

Looks like sales have come to a standstill for Wednesday. A real shame for a semi final.

The club has only got itself to blame. Ridiculous prices. Especially at this time of the year, after Christmas, the New year, and the 1st pay of the month. People always cut back at this time of the year until they get their finances back in order.

Do the seat counters monitor last minute attempts to off load tickets be lucky if 25k are in the ground on Wednesday
If that lump is picked again up front I’m staying in Town and completing what was always going to be a messy one given us Bridge Boys ko at 1 ish

You blaming Haaland for the result mate?

I’m blaming pep not seeing that he ain’t right for how most games are developing especially in the second half we need all 11 playing not one man stuck up front anticipating something may break his wsy
We can’t afford that luxury anymore as has been blatantly obvious for most games since xmas
My fear is given the nature of Wednesday with effectively starting a second half with a healthy lead we need a false nine who can be involved throughout the game … Marmoush or even Foden
Phil would have loads of ball if Haaland not there

I’d rather Phil have loads of ball and be shite than have a player not in the game at all on that point you can’t even describe Haaland as having a shit game just a no show if that is different I don’t really know

Fair arguement

Who knows what the thought process was when we brought him in, we won the lot first season

Maybe if we hadnt we would have been forced to buy differently to play to his strengths

I really don’t think ticket prices are bad at all for a semi-final, and honestly they’ve been much better this season compared to previous ones. There are loads of other reasons people aren’t turning up anymore though let down by club in previous years and all the hospitality in ground — outside of South Level 0 and the Kippax Corner, most of the stadium just feels like a tourist/corporate hellhole with barely any character or passion. You might get it in small pockets, but overall there’s very little.

We’ll deserve all we get.

Everything about the project is now going backwards.

We expect our owners and the players and coaching staff to have fight in them. Why not the fans too.

We are getting shafted by the Prem, PGMOL and the media. I would have no qualms about being one of 30k at every home game.

For one of the big 6 to muster up anything less than 40,000 for a semi final is poor. The fact we could be well off that is shocking. You can blame fans all you want but the club has absolutely destroyed our fanbase that had been building until recently.

I’ve got thick skin and laugh off empty seats jibes with mates but there will be images of our stands in the newspapers Thursday.

I’m not arsed about empty seats jibes but I think Wednesday was a bit worse than that be use we were also partly responsible for each other’s safety in a dangerous category game. Your post suggests you are worried about empty seats jibes.

At the end of the day it’s up to Blues and their families whether then can attend and if they can afford to etc. I’ve no idea what other people’s circumstance are.

I’m worried about it being an unusually big news story.

As long as we win who cares. We might have a better atmosphere with 25k diehards in the ground.

We’ll be absolutely drowned out by the Newcastle fans.
