... might have bought roy some time but 35000 crowd means he's losing the fans fast....
Agreed!
That win today certainly bought the club some valuable time to start building up the home crowd's desire to attend the next 'Category C' PL home game, which is against Fulham in 25 days.
I don't count the Derby against Everton, 'cause that one should be sold out anyway!
What we need to do now is win (or at least play attractive footie) the 4 upcoming away games against Blackburn, Man U (FA Cup), Blackpool and Wolves, or else there will probably be huge gaps in the stands also against Fulham!
By the way: From what I can remember the last time we had such a crappy attendance in a competition game was in the FA-cup defeat against Reading 13 Jan 2010 (about 31,000).
