Arsenal 1 v 0 Liverpool in 1980, 2nd or 3rd replay.

I went to the game - it wasn't sold out I don't think

I didn’t go but it looked pretty full on the coverage I’ve seen on YouTube.
The gate was given as just over 35,000, not sure what the capacity was back then maybe 40,000.

I can remember Arsenal wanting one of their replays at HR but losing the toss and it was either at Filbert street or they were the opposition in the '70s

Not sure the clubs involved ever had a say in the location of venues fot semi finals did they.
I didn’t think so anyway, could be wrong tho.

No it's not. Player wages is free market. Teams with higher revenues can spend more. Only thing that is slightly like that is the distribution of TV money, although if you get more games you get more money so still favours the big teams.

Ironically the US sports are more socialist. Draft lets the worst teams pick the best available players first and a wage cap means all teams have the same to spend regardless of income (though that just means owners can make a shit ton of money). It's also a closed system so you need to get one of the franchises.

I'm specifically focusing on the job creation within it.

Just that clubs considered neutral, midland venues for London clubs?

Oh yeah, I get the reasoning behind venue selection (though some choices down the years made little logistical sense ie: Everton v Spurs at Elland Rd ) it’s just that I never knew the involved clubs had a say in it, if they did.

Yeah, Norman Bite Your Legs Hunter, Chopper Harris and anyone remember Trevor Hockey? The biggest thug I ever remember on a professional football field.

Dave Mackay, even Bryan Robson and Graham Souness were not shy about dishing out the occasional very dodgy tackle.
