The fact I quoted shots and shots on targets was just to supplement the fact Real Madrid had quite a lot of chances themselves. Ignoring the shots on target stat the fact remains they created some very good chances despite being poor. That's the worrying thing for us if we met them again, no way would they be that bad again. But anyway I'm delighted we beat Real Madrid in the CL in my lifetime so don't want to sound negative.....

SO I have been on holiday in Nigeria for the past two and a half weeks so I could not be at Wembley. Fortunately I recorded it so my mission today is to sit down and watch the whole match plus analysis

I went to a night with Gilzean and Mullery, hosted by Mickey Hazard last week. Hazard said that Spurs took in 7 million quid in gate receipts for the Madrid game alone (he might even have said £9 million?). Said they could've sold out the corp seats 3 times over such was the interest.
He also said that we sold over 70,000 tickets for Palace. Interesting that we are counting bums on seats instead of tickets sold for our attendances, that is different go the rest of the clubs in the league.

Not all clubs count sales
In fact it’s only arse and city that do I belive. Most do it out way as you can have an attendance if they haven’t attended
They do have more no shows than most. The police have the actual attendance on record though, so it's not like they're fooling anyone.

The truth about West Ham’s attendances
Posted by Sean Whetstone on January 9, 2017 in News, Whispers
West Ham publish the official attendance and tickets sold after every game but the number is different to how many supporters actually turn up and go through turnstiles for matches.
There have been visible gaps around the London Stadium all season which have had many asking caused many to ask where the missing thousands are and why are they not turning up to Premier League matches.
The club and directors have claimed on social media it is because of 9,000 seats not being used in the 66,000 seater stadium but supporters don’t buy this as the majority of those seats are screened off.
Through a freedom of information request to Newham council for minutes of the Safety Advisory Group, Claretand Hugh has uncovered the true attendance of the early matches which is often many thousands less than the official sellout figures released.
West Ham v Juventus Friendly Official published attendance: 53,966 real attendance: 52,224. (1,742 did not turn up)
West Ham v Astra in Europa League Official published attendance: 56,932 real attendance: 51,817 (5,097 did not turn up)
West Ham v Domzale in Europa League Official published attendance: 53,914 real attendance: 51,000 (2,914 did not turn up)
West Ham v Bournemouth Official published attendance: 56,977 real attendance: 52,192 (4,785 did not turn up)
West Ham v Southampton Official published attendance:56,864 Real attendance reported as: 47,000 (9,864 did not turn up)
West Ham v Middlesbrough Official published attendance:56,945 Real attendance reported as : 47,000 (9,945 did not turn up)
Edit: Similarly up to 10k not turning up at Old Trafford https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/apr/12/manchester-united-attendances-police-figures

Yep. This article from 2014 states 'the record discrepancy at Old Trafford stands at some 25,000 tickets sold, but not used.' And going by the vast swathes of empty seats in recent matches it's been even worse since SAF retired.
Same article also states reassuringly:
'According to Sky Sports only a few teams stand out by giving proper crowd numbers, with Tottenham being named as an example.
