Saw a bit on the news this morning......After being ordered to play 2 games behind closed doors, fernebache came to an arrangement to allow only women and kids in. Apparently they gave out some free tickets, but still got just shy of 42,000 who seemed to give it a good go. Wonder how many would turn up for a UK team if that was the condition and whether they would go for it with the same vigour. Impressive.

I understood that all the tickets were free, on the basis that the penalty is supposed to be partly financial. Also Fenerbahce are one of the 'big three' Istanbul clubs that account for the vast majority of fans in Turkey, and they are, like Barcelona (and arguably more successfully than Barca,) a sports club that competes in many fields, and very successful in most. All that being said, it's not that much of a surprise they managed to attract so many. The closest equivalent would be to ask if United would manage to attract 40,000 women and children to Old Trafford for free - I'd suggest they would.

Unlikely. The annoying idiot woman behind us on Saturday screamed "20 MINUTES?" when Lallana was substituted, thinking that was how much injury time had been declared.
