Attendance and Importance

So Man City got 28,000 + change

West Ham 26,000 + change

and we both lost. The attendance figures along with team selections last night show how unimportant both clubs and fans view this cup.

Man City are concentrating on retaining the title. West Ham on consolidation. So ignore the wums. Only two or three clubs care about this competion anyway.

Do you think you will fill it every game?

IF we get the OS we (playing at our present level) woule fill it against you, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U. Pool and Man City also would be ok.

About 45,000 for a midweek game v Stoke.

no we wouldnt fill it every game, but it would sell out for big games and i reckon almost sell out for every other game.

depends on how the team are doing and what the ticket prices are like... they are so high at the moment.

do you really believe that west ham would get 45,000 for a midweek game with stoke?

i think thats very optomistic

The OS will help more midweek because of the transport links. If you have to work next day than getting rid of the hour + wait for a train at Upton Park will make matches much more attractive.

For the majority of our fans who I believe live in Essex, it could mean home by 11 rather than 1.

decent point about transport links.

obviously that remains a problem at the lane but i would like to think that they would be doing something to upgrade the stations that serve the lane.

i walk to the lane so its no issue for myself

I'm certain the present transport chaos keeps people away, moving will help midweek when most fans are on the train. For weekends though loads of people drive at present and parking in Stratford is worse than East Ham.

Imagine driving to a game just before Christmas when Westfield is packed.
