There are loads of reasons for the gate some of which you mentioned. However, I suspect the main one is that it was over 2 legs and last night was, to some degree, irrelevant. If it had been a one off match we would've sold it out. In my case, and I'm sure other people's, I was saving my money for the 2nd leg and Wembley as well as some of the vital relegation battles like Hull and Cardiff.
Fair point and I do appreciate that it isn't easy for many people for many reasons. Hope you get your tickets for 2nd leg and especially the final cause that's my plan as well.
I'll definitely get some whatever I have to do .......... it's not that often we're a game away from Wembley and I won't be missing that.
