Cheryshev won't be playing at Hillsborough, they only got knocked out on Saturday so he'll be on an extended holiday now. They've got a Senegal player who isn't exactly a big draw, and I don't even know who their other World Cup player is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Villareal are one of top teams in Spain so why wouldn't fans turnout for this game? Compare Villareal v Inter Milan over last few years and Villareal play in the best league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people currently cheering England on have no interest in swfc and are just jumping the England bandwagon. I agree though if England could win the WC there would be a spike in interest not just at Swfc but across the country, it's keeping most of these people interested that would be the problem, some would carry on however I fear would just be glory hunters and unless we have a great season would soon disappear. I also don't see it being an increase of 5k, no way will we average 32k next season, in fact other than Dem, I don't see us getting 32k for any game let alone averaging it. Think in 66 the WC did have an effect on attendances, but as others have said so did our FA Cup final appearance and prices, no live games on Tv etc. Football has changed hugely since then and though I expect a small increase I would guess at neater an extra 1k than 5k, only winning the WC and time will tell though.

Seriously 1. What has soup got to do with it? 2. You don't pay 40 quid to try oxtail soup. 3. It's bloody awful chicken is much nicer. Most importantly 4. How many people who still go do you genuinely think went to their 1st Wednesday match having previously shown no interest in Swfc or Football? My guess would be less than 2% my daughter is one of em, being took by me at just 3 months, however now she's a bit older she shows an interest, that's been planted in her brain through me, Edited July 9, 2018 by OWL1969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamAP22D Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I think they get some fans back who may previously have fell out of love with the game, abit like myself. i'll be getting to a few of the early fixtures that, until a few weeks ago, I can't say I would have. Good luck to England on Wednesday, make us proud as a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 For sure the WC win in 66 influenced the increased gates,but the cup final also played a part in the increase,along with the good start we got off to,and Ritchies arrival in November that year.
