Decky Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Disgraceful, if anyone watched MOTD there now you would have seen that one whole side of their ground is completely empty of home fans. An ENTIRE side of their stadium. There are also big patches of empty seats around the ground. The club have even decorated the empty side with huge cloths covering the seats like the Rovers crest and even a Bet 24 advertisement. It really is shocking, can you imagine if SJP had an entire side of the ground empty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Just made the point in the other thread. 19,506 attendance is fucking pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It's a small town, and Pompey took fewer than 500. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Liam Liam O Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Blackburn & Boro. Two teams who wouldnt be a loss to the Premiership Edit: Fair point. Wigan added to that list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've got a lot of time for Leeds, hope they sort it out. Doing well so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Blackburn at least have a fair bit of history. Boro, for my money, offer absolutely nothing to English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 So 20% of the population of Blackburn then about the same as Leeds get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Blackburn's capacity is 31,367 btw. That's the equivalent of us getting 32,457 for a Premier League game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think it is awful for fans to go through that sort of thing with their club, and generally wouldn't wish it on anyone, but I'm afraid that in the case of Leeds, I've got no sympathy at all, and just hope it gets worse for them. The stuff I've seen from their scum fanbase over 30 years means I for one will shed the most microscopic, saltiest tear, should they implode totally.

Without the points deduction they'd be five points clear already. I wasn't that bothered about them going into the Championship, but they shouldn't be in League One.

Sparks Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It was the away end that was empty, I'd be pointing fingers at Portsmouth fans rather Blackburn. There were a couple of hundred at most there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh come on, they are a classic british side with a great pedigree. There are loads of tossers at every club. I'd rather see Leeds in the top division than fucking Reading.
