Crowd for Middlesbrough

[BN9 BHA]

I think the Sky £billions may disagree with you?

And not give a shit about us ticket buying fans.

That's why I haven't got Sky Sports in my house and I don't go to pubs to watch matches.
I like football because I was taken to matches as a kid, not because I watched it on TV.

That's your choice but football is a TV show, as I'm sure millions of punters would concur. Quite a few of us multitask and do both. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Fair enough, but it's no good me having a good moan about Sky switching two Albion Saturday home games in February, and then paying for Sky Sports.

If some people are happy to wear a Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal etc, etc replica shirt and watch football in a pub or at home, that's their business, but they will never experience what I have at live matches.
And if BHA are not playing or playing miles away, I go and watch non league games.

It's the biggest shopping day before Christmas.

A low actual crowd, with empty season ticket seats being counted as full.

Correct I'm a season ticket holder and sadly I can't go because I have to work 3pm would have been fine thanks Sky!

Who says I watch Prem football on Sky?

PS: I rarely do.

Not me?? I haven't mentioned you. Have I hit a nerve?
You was questioning me and I was giving you my thoughts on Sky and armchair fans.

Yep, I was definitely going, dragging my daughter along when it was a 3 o'clock KO, have to work in the morning, so not sure I'll make it in time, coming from T Wells, so haven't bought a ticket. Not a season ticket holder, so tickets, refreshments, probably merchandise as its xmas, clubs potentially losing £100 just from us 2

Yes I think it's a shame that young children ( the next generation of BHA fans ) will miss out when Saturday games are moved to evenings.
I have a 12 year old lad that gets tired at the end of an evening match, especially when he leaves for school at 7-30 AM.
There must be loads of younger children that don't go at all to evening matches.

There also must be lots of fans like your good self, that work Saturday mornings and will also miss tomorrows match.

I sympathise -- given that in the past week or two the club have just moved the Brentford' and Leeds' games from 3pm to evening kick-offs, which means that my son won't be going -- but the one thing we all need to realise is that your £100 pales into insignificance when set against Murdoch's billions. He even gets to hack into phones, declares that he's humbled, and then gets things covered up.

 

[Notters]

People that don't turn up due to " it being on TV , pub, hungover from works do, no money, shopping, KO time" are not true fans, its the biggest game of the season so far!

I'm going to be hungover from the works do AND a cyclist. Surely no-one has an excuse.

The Brentford kick off moved to the evening? Really?

Away early kickoff, home moved to the Friday night.

Will be interesting to compare with crowds in both our division and also the "Premier League". Such a superb support given that we have never had a decent side top flight side since the Charity Shield victory in 1910.

Not the club. Its Sky who call the shots.
