On a side note, someone is definitely fudging the figures down at Ewood, if there were 15,000 on yesterday I'm a Chinaman.

Well there must have been 3000 from Stoke and ST holders are counted whether they are there or not.
I rem the days when they under reported the figures and the directors had a cash turnstile or two switched off for themselves.

Stoke brought 3013 out of 15,104 leaving about 12,00 home fans apparently. I often do counts on ticket sales (although I didn't yesterday) and usually have a pretty good idea what the attendance will be. If that official attendance is in any way accurate I would say at least 1,000 ST holders missed what is effectively a free game. Wouldn't want to be in the trenches with them.

If you think you're making a difference by staying at home you're in dreamland. If you're doing it as a matter of principle, you're misguided. If you're doing it 'cause you're fed up, stop sulking. Unless you support one of the biggies, a club is going to go through shit times, for decades sometimes. Suck it up and get on with supporting the club or give the whole thing up and don't profess to being a fan.

Ps before Al comes on giving me pelters. I know you've supported the club for a long while and you're not well so getting down to Ewood is not easy for you and I appreciate that. But giving up, or falling out with the club you love because of a few knob heads that may be employed by them at the moment is not the way to show that love.

If everyone wants a mass boycott or massive protests then I wouldn't dissuade them, but a few just throwing their toys out and not turning up will achieve cock all.

Quite a few ST holders missing around me due to going on holiday for half term.

Do what you want to do and I'll do likewise.

Always good to see stuff like that as long as it's not against us.
