Whilst I agree we may aswell have given you more tickets, we didn't have to. It was obvious early in the week there was very little interest in the game from our side, our forums were full of fans saying they weren't going even though the tickets were cheap and my family members and mates who usually go, none of them went. We were always going to lose anyway whether you had 6000 there or 9000 so we may aswell have let you have the tickets.
We're bottom of the league, won twice all season and going down with a whimper. Did you expect the ground to be full and rocking? The owner has given up as shown by lack of signings this month and the players at best are terrible, at worst don't care. It's no wonder the fans have also given up. Apathy rules at our club these days, we've all accepted our fate this season already. Yesterday was always going to be a hammering and the stay away fans knew that and saved themselves the pain.
What I will say though is some of your fans have got short memories. It wasn't so long ago that you used to get around 25k for earlier round cup games. Even in January 2014 you got 30,000 for a League Cup semi final first leg against West Ham. You have always had loyal and good support, even when you went down but don't forget where you were. You'll start to sound like your neighbours. Next season I reckon we'll get around 25k for most games, if we're doing well then crowds will obviously increase. Our away support will increase drastically with new grounds and cheaper tickets, paying £40-£50 to watch us lose at your gaff and Old Trafford every season isn't fun any more surprisingly.
By the way I actually thought your attendance the other night against Everton was good despite the stick you've taken about it.
