Price of Football

[Lets B Avenue]

There would be big problems with us being run like dortmund of course. Firstly win or lose the fans stay behind to applaud the team, at St Mary's, win or lose, half the fans are streaming out of the exits by the end of the game. Secondly, without the cheap beer a lot of our fans are already heading to the concourses on 35 minutes, with the promise of cheep beer, I doubt many of them will even make it to their seats. Thirdly, Unlike us Dortmund fans don't have to contend with roadworks on the m27 or A33, train engineer works, the weather, bank holidays, school holidays, two home games in a week, valentines day, surprise birthday parties for their great aunts and having to get home for x-factor all things that have prevented people attending in the past, so it's no surprise they can get these sort of crowds.

I managed to applaud all the players off the pitch, walked back to the car, drive 100 miles back to St Albans - and all with plenty of time spare until X Factor started ;-)

I'm sorry your day was ruined.
