we had that disastrous (from an attendance point of view) Pepsi tournament at the walkers in 2004 when we played East Bengal and Real Majorca over 2 days and Martimo were also involved

It was so empty that you could walk around the stands whilst the games were on. I think i watched the 2nd half of one particular game in all 4 stands. :icon_bigg

And from a finance point of view too. It cost us £2million!

One of my favourite footballing moments was during our game at Ewood Park near the start of the 98/99 season when both Blackburn fans and City fans were singing, "You're not fit to referee", to the pompous twat at exactly the same time.
The same thing happened this season, think it was Colchester away.

You're right, the referee got demoted the following Monday.
No it didn't. The club made a loss on it, but not that much.

Well I was this by someone inside the club, a very reliable source and someone who would have definitely known the exact figures. So I'm going to stand by that figure.
And I'm going to say I have also seen figures from a reliable source inside the club, and it was nothing like £2 million.

They probably did maths along the lines of "if we'd sold out we'd have made £x million, however as we only sold x tickets we missed out on £2million we could have made"
Edit: though I am aware that even selling out completely for the two days probably wouldn't make £2million

I got given a ticket, as did several of my mates.
So it's your fault then. If you and 60,000 of your mates had bought tickets we wouldn't have lost '£2 million'. Although we'd have had to hire a bigger ground to fit everyone in.
Yes, it's all my fault, apologies to everyone. :icon_lol:
