Quoted from RichMariner
The one thing we need to do now is make sure the attendance v Sheff Utd is lower... and I'm pretty confident it will be!

We've made a real statement tonight. We need to make another one and really ram the message down Harvey's stupid throat.


After last time, there will still be a large police prescience to pay for even though few fans will be there.

Perhaps Humberside Police could insist we play behind closed doors?

At £5k for a draw, we'd be better off playing behind closed doors and playing out a 0-0 with Sheff Utd.

We didn't even make £5k in total ticket sales last night.

Quoted from lukeo
I don't understand why they opened all stands?  surely the osmond and findus would have made more sense


Because they believed only a small vocal minority would not attend i presume.
Because the majority shareholder believed that his bumbling explanation at the fans forum regards the timing of his daughters wedding, a pile of papers, Ian Fleming's communications, trusting Shaun Harvey and its 10k for a win were all valid reasons to sign up and would satisfy supporters concerns that this competition is a good thing.  

The club to need to make the next game all ticket so they will know exactly how many people will attend and then make arrangements as necessary.

But on a positive note....we do keep all the gate receipts as the U23 teams arent eligible for a share

And those fortune telling police don't come cheap.  

Do we not get a share of the pot of money that was used to bribe tempt clubs into signing up for this farce?

No but at least they know when the trouble's going to start.
