    Thought it was 60,000. I could Google it, but without doing so, I'm sticking with 60k.

    Luckily we was there and the ground was rocking, whilst it appeared full there was big gaps everywhere. Wembley way was carnage

    Amazing atmosphere. Best I’ve ever seen the new Wembley and it was only half full.

    Are the acoustics actually improved because there is less to absorb the sound and more room to echo? Or are people just being louder for longer? Similar for Oakwell and the atmosphere in the PO 1st leg.

    I don’t think so, I think it was just the occasion if anything. We’ve waited decades for that. Think the fact crowds are only just returning made it that bit better too.
