Stuart – great that you’ve had the courtesy of replying. Unfortunate you have to answer for other people’s work.

You’re right, he is entitled to his opinion. However, and I say this as a fellow journalist, he has a responsibility to ensure what he is reporting is factually accurate – and quite clearly this wasn’t.
I think he’s on fairly dodgy ground to be honest – you simply couldn’t defend that with fair comment because it is so inaccurate. He hasn’t done any kind of checks. His only evidence is what he saw on the television and he’s jumped in both feet first without taking a second to think.

I’m sorry to say it, but it is a shameful piece of journalism made all the worse by his attempts to justify it on social media.

Well said Mr Warrington. ;) Have you ever written anything so blatantly mis-leading Phillip ? ;)

Haha - of course - but I'm much better at it :)

I`ll ask Tommy Blackmore !!

This has got to be an early April Fools, surely!

obviously there are always empty seats as most seasoncard holders go on holiday at some point during the 9 and 1/2 month season.

To get as many as we did for the Blackburn replay was miraculous, especially given the number of games so far this season. Chelsea was our 18th game of the season at home.

We're guaranteed another 10 home games between now and May, with any FA replays, futher rounds, champions league games on top of that.

I`m hoping that eventually someone will cut and paste SB`s response to this clown.Ta in advance.

Shame that our local paper feels the need to continue the myth of our supposed empty seats - worse when it's a two bit article by some Liverpool fan who no doubt clings onto the fucking 'history' if his own club. He looks like somebody who'll be buzzing from the attention, somebody who dreams of making it as a journalist when in fact he's not smart/articulate enough to write a decent fan blog. I see that wet **** mike Keegan is backing him up with his right to have an opinion - yes, have an opinion but when allowed to put it into print it becomes something else - especially when it's factually incorrect.
Wankers the lot of them - though respect to SB for his reply.

A 3 yr old could have done a better job !! MEN i wont read again now i like stuart brennan and his fair based articles but this is a disgrace he is paid to write and all he can come up with is pinpointing the odd missing seat with a circle.. David Lynch needs to go back to making cups of tea all he is good for ...

Brennan is fine. He's better than Paul Hince who actually played for us yet slagged us at every opportunity and eulogised GPC.

I am as staggered at this article as the rest of you, and have made my views known to David and to our online operation, as have one or two other journalists.
In fact, I have just written a reply to David's article which is due to go online shortly - apologies in advance if it is misses any points, but it had to be done quickly.
All I can say is that David is entitled to his opinion.

Thanks for coming on SB.Now do us all a favour and go and kick the thick Scouser in the nuts.

I concur (posh word for me) thanks for coming on, keep giving your bosses an earful and before anybody has a go..... You take the flak on here for things that are not your fault and you have the decency to reply. It is appreciated.
