LoyalRoyalFan That Friday Feeling LoyalRoyalFan It's proves the saying ' When the going gets tough,the plastic get going'.
Oh yes, that well known saying.
LOL @ people who get "embarrassed" by attendance figures or by the actions of their fellow fans.
Well,it's my saying.
And it is embrassing that we can't sell out for one of the biggest game's in recent years.
Not a lot more embarrassing than the apostrophe crime you have just committed!
To be honets, I can't see why it is an embarrassment at all. We had plenty of fans in that evening. It is unsurprising that quite a few stayed away; some will have saved the money for the final (tough on them); some will be struggling at the moment (note to self, there is a recession on); some will have decided that recent form indicated a disappointing evening; and, finally, it is personal choice whether you go or not. I debated the issue and decided I had to go, I was delighted to be there for about 50 minutes of play, and then Burnley scored against the run of play and we collapsed. After that I had to keep persuading myself that it was the right thing to stay there and suffer.
I can completely understand why some people will have found a better use of their money, and that doesn't necessarily make them less of a supporter.
