This is like a Liquidgenius article, irrelevant $hit like attendance figures are more important than results.

Breaking the English attendance record is something to be proud of whatever the result you clown. You obviously have no sense whatsoever of football history or records.

So you are saying you can only break attendance records if your team wins then?

Attendance figures are pretty irrelevant in general, unless you're a club accountant or board member.

Attendances are very relevant, if clubs were playing in front of a few thousands, the TV companies would not be attracted, and the revenues would plummet. Don`t see too many games at Barnet or Accrington on the box.

Global domination isn't proving as easy as Citys mega rich owners thought. They remind me of Blackburn in the 90's, loads of money but no support. I read the other day that they are going to take their stadium up to 60k!?

My work takes me all over the south of England and you see Utd and Liverpool tops everywhere but no City.

Tottenham played they're first game at Wembley so there was always going to be a big turn out, let's see if the attendances stay at that level.

Probably OK for CL games, but not really sustainable for games outside of the CL, other than the biggies say against Arsenal or United. However as you can see from my list, even Barca and Real sometimes fall perhaps 20,000 full of capacity, so would be no shame if Spurs did as well in a ground as large as Wembley. Should easily sell out 60,000 for the Prem matches next season though.

Spurs v Monaco 85,011 (broke the 1934 English club crowd record)
Barcelona v Celtic 73,290
Real Madrid v Sporting Lisbon 72,179
Bayern Munich v Rostov 70,000
PSG v Arsenal 46,440
Benfica v Besiktas 42,126
Porto v Copenhagen 34,325
Juventus v Seville 33,261
Man City v Borussia 30,270 ( big club my arris

How many of them watched the home team lose?

You must have really enjoyed being part of that attendance figure, any decent fan would have no excuse for not going considering how insanely low the ticket prices were

I didn`t wish to take a ticket from a regular supporter, so did not even apply. I will however be attending WHL next week for the League Cup match, a smaller attendance is expected, but the support will be shared between Wembley and WHL this season, so everybody gets to see the Mighty Spurs in action.

I'm no Hammers fan but I said fair play to them for getting 57k for their first Europa qualifier. Regardless of ticket prices or novelty factor I appreciated that it was an impressive attendance. Shame our 85k on Weds hasn't brought a similar response from opposing fans.

The tickets were not that insanely low, still more expensive than watching Man United home games in European footie. Athough the tickets were reasonably priced, buying tickets to see Spurs is still far dearer than anything Man United have to offer, especially for Prem games, where it is considerably cheaper to watch United than Spurs, I notice the maximum price for a Prem game Old Trafford is only £53 that is just about the cheapest at WHL.

Problem is mate, you get this my club is bigger than yours from the usual suspects, forgetting that given the right conditions, up to 15 or 16 clubs could attract massive crowds given larger grounds. Indeed Liverpool`s biggest ever crowd of 61,000 to watch a game at Anfield barely makes the Top 20 clubs in the country.

"....Wembley Stadium is a 'zero waste to landfill venue’. The majority of the waste is diverted out of the general waste stream as mixed recycling and food waste. The mixed recycling is taken away to be sorted and recycled; food and liquid waste is sent to an anaerobic digestion plant to be broken down and energy and fertiliser are produced as a by-product. The remaining general waste is sent to a 'waste to energy' facility where energy is generated and returned to the National Grid...."

I'm pretty sure there's another record for Tottenham somewhere in there.

Probably even some kind words for them during this year's Green Apple Awards.

Bragging about having weeks to not sell out Wembley for your first Champions League game in five years

Is there going to be a DVD of this massive achievement?

Sandy..............................................................wonder how many bites you get with this one

I do however think this could be an opportunity for the club to look at ticket prices going forward.

Surely its a much better idea to have a full stadium on slightly lower priced tickets than on a three quarters or less full ground on full price!

I guess that's because City have less fans of the plastic variety.
