I had a United mate trying to give me grief about this on Wednesday too. Just point them in the direction of the United v Bournemouth rearranged game in 2016 after the bomb scare and look it up on YouTube. Looks like the ground has been evacuated again....................

People are paying way too much attention to what "fans" of other clubs are saying about us, it's just a stick to try and beat us with. These people aren't ever going to give us any credit, so it is pointless arguing with them, or letting yourself get bothered by it.
Was talking to a young lad at the game on Wednesday and he was telling me how angry he gets at empty seats, so I asked why, pointed out it was a rearranged game (my father-in-law who never misses a game and plans his holidays around our fixtures was abroad for example) and that we are still mainly a working class club, we don't have thousands of Scandinavian businessmen to pick up the slack etc. He admitted it was because it is all he ever hears about from other fans on social media and at college, along with the other City bingo classics.
These people aren't ever going to say anything positive about us though, if we sell out we all used to be Chelsea fans, if we win a trophy it is bought, we have no history even though all it takes is a google search to prove otherwise. So ignore them, they aren't worth the steam off your piss, and enjoy the ride. I won him round in the end, and as others have said, now is when we should stick together.

Don't even have to go back that far, the recent Burnley game had plenty of empty seats but that might just be because their team is shit I suppose.

No it isn't, we'll be in the CL next season as per normal.without the rewards of european football, thats the carrot for a match goer, not the fact we have a few quid in the bank.

That's exactly it, reading the last so many pages and its basically blues fucked off with rags winding them up.
If that's all they have left to throw at us it's pretty fuckin tragic.
