Just out of interest, did Spencer ever give the nod to a similar article when there were 30,000 empty seats at Old Trafford for United's game agsinst Newcastle in tbe COC?

I don't know what time the photo was taken but traffic was particularly bad that night

They even suggested on 5 live around 45 minutes before kick off that they may delay the start

There were a lot of people late as a result

But regardless of this which will have had some effect, MEN is still bang out of order. There are always some ST holders who won't be able to make the odd game and who don't give/sell their tickets to others - that's the only reason for empty seats

They need to look at the figures for the Rags home games,against those actual figures from GMP.

Not read the article, but did it mention the fact that around 100 seats were empty, all the game in the Chelski section...?!

I suspect that whoever let this through will get a right bollocking tonight. And this kid might have written his last work experience piece. Stuart Brennan is not happy.

It has pics where you have to basically take the reporters word it is empty or squint very hard.

Well this fella has a very apt second name don't you think :)
Anyway they seem to have a slight control issue over what gets printed, probably that rag reporter fella gave the ok.

This is proper funny, bet poor old Stu is going crackers.

My days what a numpty. By the looks of it those seats he's circled are probably people who have gone for a piss for starters!

It's rare that any kind of event that's sold out doesn't have some empty seats here and there, this is the real world! The comments section on the article are all ripping into him, you would hope the paper would address this by implementing better quality control measures or sacking the weasel!
