was shocked to see that due to Barcas recent poor results and no faith in their manager that at this stage of the season they drew a croud of around 30k in what i believe is a 90k capacity stadium.

i am absolutley shocked at how so many fans can turn on their club like that!

it instantly brought to mind the situation at Man Utd and made me realise that Barcas fans are just shameful when you compare the 2 clubs in a season of new managers following big acts

MU:
7th in the league, no hope of qualifying for the CL (and havent won it in 6 seasons)

Barca:
2nd in the league, can still win the league, will almost definetly qualify for CL (havent won it in 3 seasons)

both in similar situations regarding the faith in their manager and yet utd are still pulling their usual sell-out crowds. Now im not saying Utd are super fans or anything, just that they are a team in a similar situatin to barca and yet the attendence difference is shocking.

genuinley surprised at how shit and fickle barca fans are...is this consistant throughout spanish and european football?

People should know that the Spanish economy is in a far worse state than over here

I went to Barca last year to watch a game vs Levante, plenty of empty seats and they barely sing, the CampNou is something to behold though, as is their museum

I watched them in october and the cheapest ticket you could get was 120 Euros. That wasn't a good seat either. There's no way you could afford to watch them every week.

it probably makes sense to, thats the worst thing about it! its not like this is part of a steady decline, its the fans having one season which looks to be trophyless and going "f**k this, im off" en masse. next season they'll all be back and as "passionate" as ever
