i couldn't go yesterday, only got home from holiday an hour before kick off

I made my views clear on the stadiums. People chose not to go because they assume they'll have no chance of getting tickets.

12k attendance for a CC semi is pathetic. Saturday's match should have generated, and would have generated if the right stadium was used, a 30k gate.

The low gates are self fulfulling prophecies. Small stadiums mean small attendances because people won't make the effort to go, admitting defeat in in their attempt to get tickets before they even pick up a phone.

But what about today's game with almost 3k empty spaces?

I agree, we could of filled the city of manchester stadium for a double header.

That is a damn good idea

Even better have both games at Twickenham along with a Harlequins game to promote the game down there, that would be awesome. Quins RU did it for one game and got over 60,000
