Yep, it was BOGOF, so half price and it's still half empty.

Every chance we'll have more in the ground against Burton than were at the sty and hawthorns today combined.

Anyone else notice on MOTD that the only game which didn't show the match attendance figures in the post match stats was the Bitters. Maybe embarrassed to admit how small their ground is for a full house against Manure.

More likely too embarrassed to admit it wasn't full as usual. They haven't announced the attendance anywhere as far as i've seen.

What's the capacity? Wikipedia has two different figures and also mentions that they had plans to expand by 2014 but doesn't clarity if this actually happened.

According to the Football Ground Guide it's 26,500, but as you say on Wiki it's 26,852, quoting from the Premier League Handbook. Apparently they're looking to expand it to 30,000 - and, whatever the correct current capacity is, once they expand they'll have an extra 3,000+ more empty seats

Bloke on Sky Sports has just asked Wenger "how important is it you take your chances when you get them?".

He may as well have asked him "how important is it you win games when you play them?".

Stupid question.

Did Wenger answer" as long as we pussy foot about for an age outside the D playing pretty tetrahedral shapes I'll be happy"
