Where was everyone?

Post by Cesc is God »

The number of empty spaces today was an absolute disgrace!

I know no team can get every seat filled but today was just awful. I saw pretty much a whole block of empty seats under the Big Screen opposite the away fans - Block 94ish.

And when the teams were coming out, there were so many gaps. As time passed and the game went on, some of these were filled but a few of them wasn't! This is the first game of season and apparently, it was a sell-out. Tickets were like Golddust today!

Are these genuine fans who can't make it every game or people who don't care about the club or just corperate season tickets?

Your thoughts?

I noticed that & it was mainly the upper part of the stadium that was empety
The people next to me showed up 20mins late due to there bus being late & they always get there for KO but never managered to make it for it this time

It was annoying seeing lots of empty seats for whatever reason

but on the other side if they had tickets and could not go they should of sold them back or let someone else have them
