The BFA made last minute efforts to move the tie to the National Stadium, anticipating a large crowd, but the fact that fans did not fill the smaller UB Stadium might be a worry.

This should worry the BFA which is grappling with a sharp decline in revenue from gate takings largely due to the unavailability of the National Stadium.
