Thats unbelievable and back in the UK Liverpool are messing about with a 58k revamped stadium

Yeah, but they played in Michigan which has a population of 9.8 million...whilst Liverpool has a population of some 500 thousand....says it all.

It's not even half as simple as that Marko, people do travel to Anfield from outside of Liverpool.

No it doesn't there are 7 million people within 40 minutes drive of anfield. 500k is Liverpool city centre which marko just googled but was unaware most Liverpool fans come from the north west of England or merseyside. Merseyside is not Liverpool, Liverpool is in merseyside. And of course Liverpool fans also come from the rest of Britain and overseas so you are looking at 100 million.

and they travel to Michigan from outside of Michigan...

And your point is what ?

Unless I'm missing something that doesn't seem to emphasize or strengthen your point in any way. Just because the population of Michigan dwarfs that of Liverpool does not definitively mean Liverpool FC couldn't fill a similar size stadium.

I never said it did, but by the same logic, the fact that man utd and real attracted 110k in Michigan does not mean they would attract the same in Manchester...

Have you stopped reffering to me as Mr.President or somethin'?

As I said, its just the fact that they attract so much in Michigan, does not mean they would do the same in the UK. These fans in the states have a chance to see their heroes play once, maybe twice a year, so when the oppurtunity arises, they all flock to the game. It does not mean it would happen in the UK too though.
