The price of success.
It's a shame that we haven't stood up against this. Only by seeing empty seats will the broadcasters and advertisers take note. Unfortunately, the price of success is that we see more of the day tripper type of fan who can pick and choose their game(s) and invariably, rock up when we play in the south. From the clubs' perspective, a ticket sale is a ticket sale so they will not be arsed
I don't think anybody else will be arsed to be honest. The powers that be will continue shafting fans and the money will roll in (Charity Shield aside). Whilst i do agree with the boycott sentiment - which seems to have won one hour - it's really just a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Just watch on TV and let people go who can easily get there!
Not a luxury we had only a few years ago.
