Both clubs don’t have a big away following.
The final is in the back of beyond.
Both clubs supports probably see this competition as being beneath them.
There isn’t a will to sell out that allocation.
Yes we would do but we are a bit of a fanatical support and would get there no matter how.
For these clubs supporters it’s an awful long way and an awful lot of outlay for a game that they aren’t really up for.
I recollect Arsenal taking something like 1500 to their Champions League semi final in 2006.
So it’s not just time, distance or money. Ultimately they ain’t up for it as much as we think they should be.
