You're quite right - I think I misread your original post. Definitely right to have SFs at a home ground to maximise attendances. 2 big attendances over the weekend (almost 28k at Old Trafford and over 22k at Goodison), but only 970 for Reading v Albion. But that 970 was still higher that any...

There'll be dancing in the streets of Preston Park tonight...

This although the games would bring in a few thousand rather than a couple of hundred. Better to have a home team to encourage a larger crowd. I doubt we'd be complaining had we been drawn first in the tie. There will be a difference for the Final with 50,000 tickets issued despite the fact...

Croydon in August should be fine if you fancy some Championship football.

"What?!? I was only supposed to put my clock forward?"

"I Think You're A Sexist, Misogynist Dinosaur. A Relic Of The Cold War." In fairness, quotes from Bond films would certainly liven up most political party conferences.

Meanwhile Sunak publishes details of his UK tax affairs. On a busy news day, the timing's more than a little opportunistic...

In part, it's a by-product of slavery. Britain helped to create it. "...the vilification of Jamaican homophobia implies more than a failure to accept postcolonial politics. It's a failure to recognise 400 years of Jamaican history, starting with the sodomy of male slaves by their white owners...

This morning I sadly dropped a tray of ice cubes under the freezer. But I don't want to talk about it now - it's all water under the fridge.

Sadly we won't be seeing Hare Krishna in the blue and white stripes. We'd never get the chants.

Used to love the annual Dance Off. Hard to pick a favourite, but I'll go with the 2008 edition with Trev at 7.28 on the video.

And VAR not applied correctly.

"Graham Potter Graham Potter Potter Potter Graham Graham Graham Potter Graham Potter Potter Potter Graham Graham." Sorry, it's not working.

Of course. Enjoyment of football isn't always based on the number attending. We'd never have travelled to Gillingham in that case. And based on previous posts, especially around the Euros, I know that you're a big supporter. Fair play to you here. But I think the point that significantly...

Probably fair to say that it's somewhat of a mixed bag at best currently. It was a very impressive turnout at Lewes on Sunday with just under 1,000 more than the next highest attendance at Reading. As I posted on the 'Other FA Cup' thread, overall the average FA Cup QF attendance numbers...

BBC1 to watch Writing's on The Wall with Danny Dyer.

It's just possible that a news channel about sports might not quite be what you're looking for.

It's strange that the smallest stadium actually had the largest attendance, and for a game that was shown on the BBC Red Button. I enjoyed watching the feature on Football Focus at a ground where the REMF game has been played in the past. Clearly the marketing paid off which is a credit to...

Yes, it's very much 'this' when it comes to attendances. Sunday's Quarter-Finals had the following numbers (BBC figures): 2,801 Lewes v Manchester United 1,865 Reading v Chelsea 1,702 Aston Villa v Manchester City 541 Birmingham v BHA It's hard to imagine that tens of thousands would...

Not surprised. As far as dominance in English football goes, this season Chelsea have clearly been re-seeding.
