Be great if they could book it now to play the SL champions this time next year and break 30,000 to get some momentum going for the occasion. Wouldn’t it?

Northern Eel Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Now they have broken 30k, if any other team want to beat that, they are going to have to get clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowardly Fan Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Just now, Oliver Clothesoff said: Wouldn’t it? I highly doubt it. Barcelona have definitely been a significant factor with their own promotion, club affiliation will help too, the fact it's Barcelona also helps get local coverage and such a well known stadium is extra incentive for travelling fans.

Leeds wanted to break the old record last year when they played Cas at Elland Road but they decided to play on a Friday night and got a respectable 23K. I think they’d have had it on a Sunday they’d have got 25k + but 30K may be hard to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Tremendous crowd that. Would love to have gone but couldn't due to other commitments. Really hope they do it as an annual thing and build on it every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d never get Catalans to attend the espanyol ground, the espanyol club are seen as the club of the guardian civile and of Castilian oppression "Freedom without socialism is privilege and injustice, socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality" - Mikhail Bakunin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Brilliant, hopefully it can become an annual event, but that’s probably down to Barcelona FC. Catalans v Leeds next year please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 33 minutes ago, Oliver Clothesoff said: Espanyol, the other Football side from Barcelona, have a new, modern 40,500 seater stadium, the crowd would have looked good in that but it looks what it is in the Camp Nou, sparsely attended. Pretty sure Catalans fans wouldn't quite travel to that ground in the numbers they did, and the locals definitely wouldn't support a "Catalan" team at that ground. Not to mention the same promotion by the football club wouldn't happen, as well as the prestige and attraction of a ground like Nou Camp. But yeah, good idea otherwise...

To clarify my original post I meant book the Camp Nou again to play the Champions next season 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this historic oppression stuff riles nobody really when put in the context of thousands of empty seats at a rugby match. They'll soon forget about it!

Guasch was talking pre-match about his father being a small child when they had to flee the Francoist forces in Catalonia and become refugees in France, so I can't see him wanting to go there.
