Before we get into the whole caboodle about the attendance figures and ‘I’m a better Blue than you because I’m going and you’re not’ business please may I present my note from my mother for non attendance?
“To whom it may concern: I, Eccles Blue, hereby state that I am not able to attend the Carabao Cup Final. The reason for this distressing lapse of ‘loyalty’ is because my Great-Granddaughter is being christened on the 1st March and, strange as it may sound, she means more to me than even City does!
If anyone wishes to castigate or chastise me, you are at liberty to do so but I am not going to change my mind. :-) :-)
