How many of those will be turning up next tuesday?

They came to watch leeds play a big team, surely they would go to anfield if it was just to watch Liverpool?

Who do you think I am? Derren Brown?

It'll be about 20k less turning up next Tuesday for the visit of Carlisle (Who??). That 20k did well getting behind their team, offering their support throughout the season.

Get of that high horse and name me one team in any sport in the world who doesn't get bigger crowds for a cup game at home against a team two divisions above them, ground permitting?

Are you a liverpool or Carlisle fan?

Have a look at Liverpools crowds for games against Hull/stoke etc then compare to CL games against Barca.

Liverpool 4 vs 0 Stoke City - 19 August 2009 - Attendance 44,318
(Capacity c45300)

Liverpool 1 vs 3 Chelsea (Champs League) - SF April 2009 - Attendance 42,543

Liverpool 0 vs 1 Barcelona (CL) - QF 2007 - Attendance 45,000

Not exactly a 20k drop is it?

Not exactly two divisions apart is it?........you getting it yet?

I would suggest this trend can be closely matched to the release of Job Seekers Allowance into bank accounts.

I believe this happens on a Tuesday which is ideal for CL games where as anything at the weekend is a struggle for the dole dossers who by that time will have smoked their way through £40 of crack and purchased at least 2 fake Lacoste shirts and baseball caps.

What?

Apologies, stolen from Steve Gerrards washing line.

Liverpool 5 vs 2 Havant & Waterlooville - 26/01/08 - 42,566.

Abit more than 2 two divisions that one. Still not a drop in 20,000 for the week after's match.

What do you want? A medal for all the Liverpooliacs?

Dont you support Carlisle anyway, that "land that time forgot" area that nobody including the majority that live there are interested in?

Nah, just an acceptance that my point is proven.
Cant say i support them or even watched a game of theirs.

Are Liverpool two divisions below Havant & Waterlooville? So how does that prove your point?
Prove it by answering the question that you seem keen to ignore [i"name me one team in any sport in the world who doesn't get bigger crowds for a cup game at home against a team two divisions above them, ground permitting?"[/i


So you are from Carlisle but support Leeds at RL & Liverpool at football, how lucky are you, you could of picked from any of the hundreds of professional rugby & football clubs in the country put by chance pick 2 of the top teams in each sport, well done you.
