Getafe brought 6. we was a crowd of 4. There was a stag do there (aprox 20) There were 87,500 at the game. Loads more in the burger queue and at the scarf/shirt vendors talking english. Talking to a local he said they have many parties come to the matches from all over the world. I would think at those prices most of the Catalans would be priced out of the matches. It made Wembley look cheap
I don't think so. Try getting hold of a season ticket for Barcelona. There are about 85,000 season pass holders. There are 170,000 members paying an annual fee. Season tickets get handed on through families which causes friction. It always was dear. I was Catalonia on holiday when Cruyff joined and they played three friendlies. Couldn't get a ticket, they were all 116,000, the capacity then, sell outs. I worked out going by what an average Spanish wage was compared to ours that it was about 4 times dearer than watching City in the small standing areas behind the goals. Much more in the seats. Remember being in a bar where a barman was reading a paper and it said something about Camp Nou 45,000. A Scouser asked what it said and the barman got as far as saying that it said there were 45,000.at the Camp Nou when the Scouser butted in to say that he thought Barcelona were supposed to be big, Liverpool got more than that. On a Wednesday afternoon to watch the team photograph being taken asked the barman? End of conversation. Apparently 45,000 actually paid to go in and watch it.
Is there a reason you gave such a horrendous, unfunny nickname to Sean Dyche? Couldn't you have called him Douche instead?
A monkey's. You really shouldn't come out with unfounded claims that they get such big crowds because of all the Brit visitors. .
Heh, was waiting for someone to bring up the fact he (finally) hit that magical 5 goal barrier. Big congratulations to him on hitting that milestone, he's been waiting a fair while. I think he's already proved my point sufficiently though, a brace against a side equal last doesn't rehabilitate him.
