Including away fans in L2, all 50 of them!!!.
Cant argue our home attendances have dropped over the last 10 years but we have had to deal with shit ownership and poor management.
The "true football fans" comment was not a dig at anybody, I always relate and comment on our true football fans due to the glory hunters down the road...

Season ticket holder so yes I was at that game and no I wasnt surprised with the lack of effort. It was a very poor game with both teams playing poorly, they just nicked it...

Wow a positive reply thanks. We have been on a downward spiral since promotion in 2013. Had a good season finishing 9th I think in L1 then the owner (who we dont mention) sacked Rob Page and bought in a foreign manager, Bruno Riberio, who then recruited 26 foreign players. It didnt go well, got relegated and then for the past 3-4 seasons have struggled in the league with an owner who has fleeced us, taking payments from any incoming money to line his pockets. Last season we eventually got rid of Scumthwaite, using protests after protests after protests, and now we have a fan who sat with us a t away games who has bought the club and is currently turning it all around into a community club for the community. We want to repay her investment ( common knowledge that she overpaid big style for the purchase) and bring the good times back, this is why we have now sold 5300 tickets in 3 days and are treating this game as a massive celebration and going to have a party even though we expect a 5-6 nil thrashing.....

26 foreign signings?!! Wow
Surely some of them must have been up to scratch? Where did the majority of them come from?
Glad the club has re-grouped..that's Football..the ups and the downs...: )

Scumthwaite was introduced to three agents who then earmarked the foreign players and he reportedly watched them on youtube before bringing them over. We probably had one who was decent, Kiko a left back, currently playing in Turkey.
He was even duped into believing a phone call from an agent who knew Mourinho who recommended Riberio the manager, with assurances of U19, U20 players from Utd!!!!.
Hate the bloke, openly said that all money taken from the kiosks went in his pocket as well as publically setting a date to put the club in administration unless a new buyer was found but he wouldn't sit down and talk with Carol, only her husband Kevin!!!.
 
The A34 will be carnage that day, I may ask my driver to leave my Wilmslow mansion a little earlier to beat the Vale fans convoy.
