What is with the FA Cup these days, no fans seem that interested.....except for the away fams I guess who usually take more than usual

Only 13,598 for Bolton v Spurs.....just 47 per cent of the Reebok capacity

Only 21,043 for Derby v Blues and there were more than 4,000 BlueNoses were there not ??

Just over 28,000 (usually 40K plus in Prem games at Eastlands) for Manchester City v Stoke

Credit should go to Southampton for a full house of 31,385 v local rivals Pompey (League One team versus a struggling Prem team) yet our own BCFC can't even seem to sell out Prem 'derbies' v Villa anymore


Back in the 60's and 70's during the fine Blues' Cup runs , we regularly pulled in 45,000 - 52,000 for most Cup games at St Andrews especially when we were in the Old 2nd Division and we faced the big clubs like Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd.....yet 2nd Tier League games would only attract 24,000-27,000 or thereabouts

The trend seems to have reversed these days.....League over Cup

Find it very baffling.......and I mean it's not like the FA Cup matches are massively expensive are they ??
