brisfox Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 With the game coming up next week, i have a couple of questions. First one is "How many fans are Seville bringing?" I know Spanish teams dont travel in great numbers so does anybody have an idea how many tickets they have sold? The second is, i have noticed that the Seville keeper doesnt like crosses. He hardly ever catches. Has anybody else noticed a weekness we can exploit?
Russell sprout Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Historically Spanish teams do not travel within there own country, Real Madrid took about 30 fans to an away game a few years back(yes 30) ive read up on it being something to do with politics that they would rather not give an oppositions team there money,and any fans seen celebrating are merely locals who support the away team, however they do travel in numbers abroad
Voll Blau Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Couldn't you just write their chairma... can't be bothered.
Ted Maul Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 Just watched them struggle against Alaves' high-energy pressing approach- lucky to come away with a point. If we perform at our best, we're certainly in with a sniff.

I went to Ajax/PSV last season and was surprised the small number PSV had for probably the biggest game in the Netherlands.

You need to remember the distances involved are quite a bit different than the UK on the whole.

I read up on it out of curiosity,and when real play athletico Madrid and vise versa,the struggle to sell 250-300 tickets in the away end purely because of the politics I stated above, complete madness when you think about it, but also read that when you compare a country the size of Spain to ours,the time they play etc,it could end up being a 800 mile journey on a Wednesday night with a local kick off time off 10 pm,which would put most off

A lot of the big games have no away fans at all. Sevilla's supporters will be made up of people based in England. I doubt they will sell out the allocation. i don't know if anyone else noticed but Sevilla's keeper can't kick long. They always choose to play out from the back or chip it to the full back. You can set up for this and catch them out

But that's one example in 20... in the UK many away trips tend to be within 2-3 hours journey time and there's reasonable options for people to travel those distances - making going away a more regular occurrence. Fans here accept the notion of travelling to all games both home and away. It's just not that easy or affordable to do that in Spain... Hence why you wouldn't get regular travelling support.
Bert Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 They've only asked for 700. Watched them tonight against Alaves, wasn't all that impressed by them yet again. Looked very leggy and tired in the second half.

ARCHER Posted 6 March 2017 Posted 6 March 2017 They invented oranges in Seville in 1952 and still make them till this day.

english77 Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 My Taxi Driver in Seville said there will be 1500 as that's all the tickets they got as he is coming over for the game flying in to Birmingham !!!
Foxes1 Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 I was in Stockholm and Leicester were outnumbered by Barcelona fans for our pre-season game against them. Mind you most of the Barca fans were speaking Swedish.?
foxy boxing Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 So when he plays noughts and crosses, he's always noughts!
jammie82uk Posted 7 March 2017 Posted 7 March 2017 Am I missing something? why do people keep calling the team we are playing by the city they are based in?
