Reduced attendance at Mill Stad !!

Sat Jun 03, 2017 2:29 am

Real shame they have reduced the game to 66000 instead of the normal 74000.
They say for security reasons but why?,surely the threat is there for 66000 as is for a higher figure.
Hope we don't see swathes of empty seats,that would be a downer.
Also I saw Ali Yassine down the Bay yesterday in what was a great turnout for a great event.

Millennium Stadium holds 72,500. They've got to segregate both sets of fans so there was always going to be some kind of reduced attendance.

I was always lead to believe it was 72,500 & if it is actually going to be 66k tonight then I find it strange that they're willing to lose 8 and half thousand seats. :?

It's a slightly smaller attendance for all champions league games due to advertising boards.

Extra large press area aswell in the upper tier would have taken a few seats out.
