INCRED Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just goes to show you can be one of the biggest clubs in the world with large stadium capacities but if your not winning trophies or playing crap football or both then you won't fill the stands. These stay away so called fans think they have a God given right to win things every season. How refreshing to see different clubs in contention.

RedM Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I saw the sparce crowd at Arsenal tonight and thought they must have had problems getting there on the tube or something, but it didn't improve. They actually said it was the smallest crowd they had seen. So I looked the prices up, and it stated it was sold out! I guess many just didnt bother, shocking. For those that didn't see it was like a reserve match, you could clearly hear the players shouting at each other. I don't know what the attendance was given at, but if they are like us they count the ST's anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think the attendance is about 50k and Man U was about 10k down against Palace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I thought Arsenal fans were going to boycott that game. Maybe I've just misread something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Kind of fair enough for Arsenal. They should have won the Prem this season but by keeping Arsene way past his sell by date, it has cost them. They need change and the fans recognise it. Man U - just great to see them struggle in to 5th place as I doubt they will get in to Champions League now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT was half empty because of an enormous accident on the M6 and the fact that LVG has sucked the life out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the other day that Arsenal make more money from tickets in three or so home games than Sunderland all season. So ticket sales still change a team's position. 50,000 @ £30 per ticket = £1.5m. 25,000 @ £20 = £0.5. Coming into your account every fortnight. That's a difference of two Yaya Toures.

Show me a club that doesn't have lower attendances when they're not doing well. In our play off season we were getting 19k every week. Did those 4k who disappeared do so because of any "God given right"? United are the biggest club in the country with the highest attendances. They are underachieving and playing boring football at the same time. I don't think it's unreasonable for their fans to expect them to be doing better than they are.

Anyway just heard on the radio that Arsenal fans stayed away in protest at "their fading title challenge". So not going because your team aren't doing very well. I thought that's just what people did, I didn't know that it could be defined as a "protest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I can't stand Arsenal fans...some of the most deluded fans on the planet. Wenger has made them what they are...they were mediocre before he arrived. He's been with them since 1996...you only have to look at this graph to highlight how good he is. Would rather have a manager giving you top 4 football every season and European football, whilst entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
