all those reduced allocations under Pearce, sven, hughes, and even Mancini seem to have been forgotten, why were they reduced, because the demand wasn't there, the club knew they would end up with a bill because all those desperate for loyalty points couldnt be arsed to go, but it doesnt end there, there were numerous cup games at home where the stadium was half empty, the year we won the cup, we had stewards in cb level 3 offering us to move seats in the north stand against Villa, so the ground wouldnt look so empty for tv. I have sympathy for the younger fans, but the opportunity has been there for anyone over 18 since the early 2000's
