re: Attendance...

...as I said before, there was very little segregation between the two sets of fans (the webbing covered about two seats width and one set of stewards - no more than five seats width either side), and not many gaps at all that I could see in the 'normal' seats.

Attendances now are based on tickets sold so the Club Wembley members that weren't present would have been counted, but there must have been around three-quarters of them there at the start (better than the amount that turned out for the Brazil friendly which was appalling!)

True, vast numbers of both corporate and 'normal' fans had left by the final whistle (or perhaps even half time) which would have looked awful on television in the second half* - but pants' claim that it was 'shockingly bad propaganda' is a bit strong!

* They really, REALLY, should have had the corporate seats underneath the cameras instead of opposite...
