Serious question. What percentage of fans live within a 6 mile radius and are negatively impacted by playing at Wembley?
I’m struggling to understand how it can be that last season they averaged 70k a game and now it’s about 30% lower. Just because you can get rebate on your season ticket?
If my team was playing the best football in living memory and living within 90 minutes from the ground I’d want to go and see as many games as physically possible. Spurs fans on the other hand seem to be about as fickle as they get.

This is London, my friend.
Travelling six miles for non-Londoners is nothing, but as any fool know, doing the same in London is an enormous challenge.

Dude you’re talking about years of ingrained travel memory being torn up. People bitch about, and rail against getting moved around in a restaurant, changing desks etc. Travelling to a different stadium for a season and a half is bound to cause upset, fans are creatures of habit and anything that changes that habit will be avoided..
Major point is the restriction on attendance. I left yesterday straight after the full time whistle, quick walk down Wembley way, no kettling or stopping at the bottom of the stairs to the station, straight on a train.
After Barca/inter Milan took at least half an hour before I even smelt the station..

explained by the limit on 90k attendance games, fan fatigue at having to keep going to wembley, and the holding out hope that we'll be in the new stadium this year.
