MEUN Surpass Themselves - Get a drink before reading this

This is truly the most incredible article I think I've ever read in the MUEN.

So basically some cunt has got the red marker out, and circled a total of 17 empty seats in 5, yes 5 blocks in the lower tier, and has written an article suggesting it is evidence we shouldn't be extending the ground.

Quick mental maths suggests that the evidence of these photos, and ratios of empty seats repeated around the ground would result in around 150 empty seats

This seriously has to be read to be believed - they have surely hit rock bottom.

I'd post the article, but you must visit it to see the photogrpahic 'evidence' in all its glory

There was 1 empty seat behind me but the guy who normally sits there is a st holder from London. Sometimes people can't get to the game do those idiots not live in the real world.

Sky has a lot to answer for. They couldn't care less about the everyday person and change the game times at will to suit the TV audience. No wonder Chelsea didn't sell their allocation, Monday night from London to Manchester and an 8pm KO, well done Sky...

I know it's a joke. Another guy who sits behind me comes from Bournemouth and he had to take the following day off work just so he could attend. Sky are wankers.

Nicked from BMoon a reply from Stuart Brennan of the MUEN

"I am as staggered at this article as the rest of you, and have made my views known to David and to our online operation, as have one or two other journalists.
In fact, I have just written a reply to David's article which is due to go online shortly - apologies in advance if it is misses any points, but it had to be done quickly.
All I can say is that David is entitled to his opinion.

It will be interesting to see what comes next in the MUEN.

Pretty scientific that. Apparently the 17 empty seats couldn't be vacant because someone went the toilet or out for a drink or food.

Truly astonishing piece. I can't say journalism as it would be incorrect. Wonder if the same article has been printed about the swamp? Doubt it. I remember last season the police released figures on the actual number of people in attendance at the swamp rather than tickets sold and the discrepancy was amazing

This kind of article is why I stopped buying it about 2 years ago

Fair play to Stuart Brennan for showing this crap up for what it is.

and people think we made up the media bias against us. Those same cunts obviously don't get to experience the MEUN, the sun and even the fucking metro.
