TheUsualSuspect9 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just played in the World Club Championship, attendance was a massive 120000. Anyone beat it? Or whats the highest you have had? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kreman Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I dont think i can beat that, but I did jump from an attendance of 4000 in the championship with Barnet, to an attendance of 38000 in the premiership with Barnet. My ground was being upgraded and i was playing at Upton Park in the meantime. Unfortunately, I have gone back to my own stadium now and it only has a capacity of 12500. Boo! All i can think about is all that lost revenue on match days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
small Mac Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My all time highest attendance was actually about 122,000 as Ajax on FM08. Although that was after many seasons, never had that at the world club cup final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 check out the record thread. I don't know the FM09 record, maybe you've broken them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Salt Lake stadium in Calcutta really does hold that many. However, isn't the Maracana the biggest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Salt Lake stadium in Calcutta really does hold that many. However, isn't the Maracana the biggest? According to Wiki, Maracana is the 8th biggest with a capacity of 96000. The North Korean National Team's stadium is the only one bigger than the Salt Lake Stadium. IIRC, the Maracana did hold 200000 at one point, but they had to reduce it because of Health & Safety and whatnot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ah; don't think the World Club final is going to be held in North Korea any time soon (not that India is any more likely)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbowie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 110,000 for a World Cup Qualifier, I was coaching Australia, the match was in Indonesia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo24 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 On 08 I managed to get Old Trafford up to 125,000 but on 09 they wont expand past 100,000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My brave Colchester had a CH play off final at Wembley attended by 89.990 spectators against fierce Ipswich rival. I lost that game on extra time after finishing........4-4, 3 goals of mine cancelled due to off side......what a nightmare..... I'm still praying for that referee to be poisoned by malaria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wegason Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 On 08 I managed to get Old Trafford up to 125,000 but on 09 they wont expand past 100,000 That would be because the theoretical future capacity of Old Trafford if they were to extend the last remaining stand to three tiers would be approximately 96,000, making it the biggest stadium in England. It is unlikely to happen for sometime however as that remaining stand has a railway line and lots of houses behind it that would make expanding it as expensive as it cost to rebuild the other three stands to three tiers.

I played in the World Club Championship the season before aswell and that was at the Sydney Stadium...what does that hold? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea4Lyf Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Sydney Football Stadium is about 45000 and ANZ Stadium is about 83ish IIRC. Those are both in Sydney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wegason Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_football_stadiums_by_capacity Oh, and where I said 96,000 for Old Trafford as a theoretical maximum capacity, i think its actually 98,000.

heathxxx Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_football_stadiums_by_capacityOh, and where I said 96,000 for Old Trafford as a theoretical maximum capacity, i think its actually 98,000. Last I heard was that there wouldn't be any problems regarding planning permission, apart from one or two opponents on Railway Road (street behind the railway line and the South stand), but it's obviously just down to cost at the moment. Given the current economic situation and the reported Glazier debt, it's unlikely to happen for some considerable time unless they raise huge additional investment to fund the project.

Given the current economic situation and the reported Glazier debt, it's unlikely to happen for some considerable time unless they raise huge additional investment to fund the project. Never said there was significant opposition, it just involves buying up the houses and somehow building over the railway line. The cost is as you say, the main issue as it is estimated to cost over £100 million for a boost of 20,000+ in capacity. Would be fairly cool to have the full bowl effect but as the sun shines from the south most the day, the grass may get worse due to lack of sun unless they make the roof transparent.
