i was at the midweek 2-1 win Stokie, and i'm sure we had more there that night than we did on a Saturday today. Today would of been a new ground for a lot of people, i just expected more people to go despite it being on the telly.
So was I, there was no way we had half what we had today, Im not saying our away support is Great but I definatly feel it is loyal. Having lived up North over 20 years Ive been to the vast majority of away games weve played in that time. Beleive me todays turn out ranked quite highley compared some ive seen in the past.
The main point I was trying to make was I thought our fans got right behind our team tonight, and deserved at least the same effort as what we were putting in.
It was a silly KO, it is the middle of August, people should be playing or watching cricket or tennis or at BBQs etc. Football in August makes me puke. I have no interest.
My family boycotted the Scunthorpe match on this basis - that we were in Grand Canaria at the time was just coinscidence.
Football, home or away, should be played under floodlights for at least 45 mins - as it was at Pompey today!!!
I might have gone, but if Sky's going to schedule Championship games against Setanta's Premier League matches, then I'll kiss Rupert Murdoch's hairy arse before I go to a 5.20pm away KO out of "loyalty".
In fact, perhaps the Football League needs to look at its TV contract because it can't be doing its image much good being used as a spoiler just because Sky spits its dummy out at having competition in the Premier League.
