BWFC_LOVE Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 We'd be on television this Thursday. We weren't on last week, but I thought fair enough, we're the home side. Spurs and Everton are away. But with Channel 5 showing Everton at home to some no mark Norwegian side, and Spurs hosting a match against the second best team in Prague live on ITV4, it just goes to show what the media think of us. Not that I mind too much, as I'll be in Madrid, but it's absolutely scandalous. I've only seen Dioufy's goal again via YouTube. Had either Everton or Spurs played Atleti, both channels would be fighting over the match. Granted, both are bigger clubs, but it's still a fcuking joke. How many tickets did we get at the Vicente Calderon? 3,000? So many fans missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a TV deal was offered to Bolton (home and away leg as a package) but Bolton turned it down as they wanted the home leg to be a much earlier kick off time and the club put the fans first.

peebles Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Maybe Setanta will put a late bid in. But 'Caribbean Workout' is on Setanta Sports 1 7.30 Thursday. Can't see them re-scheduling that, there'd be uproar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter58 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 How many tickets did we get at the Vicente Calderon? 3,000? So many fans missing out. Supporters shouldn't be missing out on account of not having a ticket as there'll be plenty of room in the ground for anyone who doesn't mind sitting with the home supporters. The ground was only half full when they played Aberdeen. That said, i don't know why Madrid didn't give us the whole of the East Stand upper rather than just the block of seats along the top. We would have had around 6,000 tickets if they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have had around 6,000 tickets if they had. They probably gave us the bare minimum amount of tickets, 6000 thousand whites fans would have felt like a home game to us - and Atletico wouldn't want that Edited February 18, 2008 by Burndens Bogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only half of them had tickets from Aberdeen so it would seem more sensible for Madrid to seat all the travelling supporters together rather than have a load of them in with the home fans.
