In fact, it is not uncommon for a game to be "sold out" and yet the stadium is only half full. I suspect Jeremy is right about the stadium attendance for the friendly in Abuja, despite what any of the papers say to the contrary.Patrice[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-16546205059805313292008-07-29T18:15:00.000+01:002008-07-29T18:15:00.000+01:00The best compliment you'll receive from me ever, and I mean mean it - Welcome to our country.

From visual evidence of the stadium, I would go along with this 'just below half-full' estimate:<BR/><BR/>1. The pricing structure was wrong. N2500 for a basic seat is effectively almost a week's wage for many people in the FCT. Imagine having to spend 800 quid on a football match in the UK (roughly the equivalent)...<BR/><BR/>2. The pricing structure was defeated anyway. This is the pattern at events at the National Stadium: many people turn up without tickets, then scramble over the walls or 'pay' their way in.<BR/><BR/>3. The event was aimed at the elite, the 'ajebutters'. This purpose was however defeated by the crush.<BR/><BR/>4. As the Daily Mail article suggests, its hardly likely that organised in this way, the event is worth repeating.Jeremyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07506241936615649754[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-56988679448823324282008-07-29T14:39:00.000+01:002008-07-29T14:39:00.000+01:00O dear!

However, I did not go to watch the match because I did not believe Man U would bring their 1st team to Nigeria.

Typical stuff, really - he harps on and on about something he has no data on, all with no reference to reality or more credible sources. Adopting the 'broken-record' stance does not make it any more true. Repeating over and over again that there were fewer than 30,000 people in the stadium does not mean it's true, or that anyone will buy that. <BR/><BR/>Jeremiah Right, try again.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-2315849829565243152008-07-29T00:44:00.000+01:002008-07-29T00:44:00.000+01:00Hissssssssss.
