It really show how your standards have slipped when you start boasting about that...

FA Cup quarter final draw

EVERTON v SUNDERLAND
STEVENAGE or SPURS v BOLTON
CHELSEA or BIRMINGHAM v LEICESTER
BRIGHTON or LIVERPOOL v STOKE

Everton/Sunderland should be a good game, both teams on great form right now, winner of that will have a really good chance of a trophy this season

Stoke at Anfield? Nice way to confirm our place in the semis.

 

[barmyarmy]

Did you post that before or after Brighton took the lead? Sunderland will be a very tough game but at least it's at home.

 

[lancashire666]

I'd rather stoke win.

Not because it's agaisnt Liverpool, just want them to get beat in the final again as there fans couldn't even sell half their allocation at our place this season.

And they actually ended up with more tickets than us in last years final because of reduced corporate sections, and couldn't even sell them when we had 30000 applications for additional tickets, never mind the people who didn't even bother as they knew they wouldn't get one.

I got a ticket but I'm still bitter for friends who couldn't go

So, come on stoke! And then come on whoever they play in the final!

I had alcohol gushing through my veins but my point stands.

well if city could fill their stadium more often perhaps stoke wouldn't be given an overly large allocation at eastlands in the first place.

glass houses etc.

My god your either very stupid or incredibly misinformed

Out stadium holds 47808, are average attendance is 47042.

When you consider we lose over 500 seats due to seats having netting on them to segregate home and away fans that's a very good average attendance.

We have sold out every home game this season apart from league cup (the fulham game WAS sold out, but had 1500 empty seats due to the heavy snow meaning some people couldnt make it to the game) and if you would like to talk about league cup attendances then we can discuss the 23000 empty seats at old Trafford agaisnt palace if you would like.

Ive been a season ticket holder since 1998 and I know what our attendances have been like. Apart from a 3 year period when we kept selling out best players (anelka, wright-Phillips when he was good etc) we have had very loyal and consistant support, and even then we were getting 40000+.

----------

Oh yeah, and because stoke sold less than half, we put all their fans in one tier and made the remaining tickets available to home fans 5 days before the game.

We sold all those tickets.

This same thing happened with Newcastle. Again we sold all the additional tickets.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

i'll be honest I was trolling.

your attendance for the league cup semi home game was shocking though.

 

[barmyarmy]

It's the league cup. Big teams don't care...

 

[thedon5]

For the Liverpool fans.

 

[shravi]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

no words!!!

FINALLY!!!!

 

[Manly]

Liverpool winning a trophy no one really cares about?

Yeah, finally!

 

[shravi]

A trophy is a trophy. Just because it doesn't matter as much doesn't mean it doesn't matter at all. Also, you'd rather win it than not, so your point doesn't make any sense.
