windermereROYAL John Smith windermereROYAL So the alleged flare exploded, did anyone see smoke in the away end? let's condemn our fans (or one fucking idiot just because one fan said it happened, if there is proof let us see it.
I smelled phosphorous from where I was sat, then two very agitated Stoke fans came to remonstrate. They wouldn't have done that out of the blue at midday on a Sunday so let's all open our eyes please. Added to the fact that substantial revenue is being lost due to this farcical charade (not least within themselves with the flags going missing!
)
So you want to take away the only atmosphere we have and replace it with 4000 screaming away fans? essentially making it a home game for them.
Quite. And there won't be that many games where the additional income comes from travelling supporters. Even Stoke had a very low turn out due to SkySports.
Furthermore, our 'economic crisis' (in the eyes of the EFL not the owner) won't be helped if get relegated due to worse results at home. There is no doubt in my mind that the creation of Club 1871 has helped improve the level of vocal home support and not just in that section either.
