For fucks sake. So....where I was sitting in RowSS P5, other than a handful of Blues (some of whom I recognised) I was surrounded by tourists. I was so pissed off, at half time I actually counted how many seats in my direct vicinity were tourists and stopped counting at 38. To make sure I was being fair and not judging anyone unfairly because they were wearing a fucking half and half scarf or didn't know any of the songs, I actually spoke to many of them - and found; a group of Israelis who had purchased tickets through an 'agency' from their hotel concierge, a family from South Korea who had bought the tickets on 'Livefootyonline.com", or something, and five lovely folks from Japan who had paid the most extraordinary money from another online tout to be there.
Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact we are now attracting support from across the globe and we have a lovely global fan base. God bless them all. BUT who the hell is selling their tickets to these touts to deprive genuine loyal Blues from getting away tickets??
It's appalling, and the Club simply doesn't seem to give a fuck.
