junkhead Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 The old UEFA Cup games had a horrible tendency to bring out the charvas. I remember a scrote behind me collapsing after boasting to his mates that he was going to swallow a lump of "tac". He was carried out by two stewards, twenty minutes later. Arsehole. I think it was Fenerbahce we were playing at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I remember the CL music. That game v Juventus was possibly the best atmosphere ever. Crowd was pretty poor that night. About 40,000 iirc. Was a Full house, remember it well. One of those famous european nights of ours. The kiev & feyernoord games had the 40k attendances.

Guest BooBoo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I've not got the figure to hand but Juve wasn't a sell out. Generally speaking our European attendances are never that fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap you're correct. 48,370 The reason they were low was because ST holders had to buy all 3 group games in a block and Shepherd jacked up the prices to try and cash in.

Guest BooBoo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Greedy bugger. I think towards the mid 00s fans were a bit bored of Europe in that the novelty had worn off, which was reflected in a half empty SJP for some of the UEFA Cup games. If we qualify this year, hopefully ticketing prices will be sensible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they don't do a 15 quid adult ticket then 5 quid for kids would see ground much more full etc for early League Cup & FA Cup games.

Tenner for adults in the lower bowl and a fiver in L7 would see it at 45k+ probably, plus increased sales from food/programmes/merchandise etc. Thankfully it seems to have clicked this season that having a full SJP is vital.

If we qualify this year, hopefully ticketing prices will be sensible. If I remember rightly, the lowest we got in europe was still high twenties, maybe even 30,000 And still higher than many of Liverpools europe attendances when not in C.L. under Roy Evans or Souness (if wrong I stand corrected, but 12,000 v. Dundalk mid-80s) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was for th previous CL Campaign when we played Barca. I agree about our European attendances which have been shocking including some sub 30K attendances and i hope all of those singing about Italy actually bother their arse to show up when we're playing some shit from Slovakia in the europa league on a cold night in November.

Dundalk mid-80s) Defo approx 26K against Herenveen in 2005 and only 30K against fenerbahce who had 3500 fans themselves. Our european attendances have been atrocious. EDIT Just checked, 26K v Henerveen who brought about 1500 over and 25K against Celta Vigo who brought nish but couldn't be considered as being not a well known name at the time. We only had 28K against Alkamaar in the last 16 as well and they brought about 2K over themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 To be fair, one thing Ashley has normally been spot on with throughout is ticketing and ticket prices. I'd imagine there'll be some sort of offer, if we do get to Europe, to get a decent number through the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I never had the chance to go to our previous European games, but I would love the chance to now. I don't see how people couldn't be arsed about it, these days its an extremely rare opportunity watching the lads test themselves against decent European opposition, on after people finish work and cheapish tickets.

Now the fact I do a 9 - 5 job then it's fine now, but someone like my dad who was on shift patterns then it was a nightmare at times for him. Makes something to do in the middle of the week.

We don't drop 20K for mid week league games. That's because of the season ticket holders. When everyone has to buy tickets for cup games, people are more selective.
