I would have thought that people would be ashamed at the crowd last night. It was a poor effort. I feel for the players playing in front of a stadium one third full. Perhaps if all the so-called fans abandoned their keyboards and went the game occasionally we might have better informed debate.'"
There doesn't need to be a debate informed or otherwise, the discussion is about the poor editing on the sky footage, anybody who chose to watch the match on the TV and have an opinion on the quality of the footage should not have to justify themselves as a fan to you or anybody and for you to have an opinion on wether somebody can afford to go to a game or not is utterly disrespectful.
Of course it is poor that the crowds drop for cup and play off matches but when cost comes into it that's always going to be the case.
