Maybe we should think of a ball park figure.
Perhaps only 20,000 out of 110.000 folks in Blackburn have the remotest interest in footy. A fair few of the attendance live out of the environs of Lancashire if you take this board as a representation of the fan base.
On any given match day ko time,location etc determime how many folks from out of Lancashire can make it.
If this MB is a true indication of the fanbase I can understand why the non Lancashire based fans choose not to attend on a Thursday evening.Work,school etc... the next day.
Then there is the European competitions themselves.The Champions League...what a joke when clubs complain about the number of games they have to play...make the Champions League the winners of each European league playing off vs against each as it used to be. Same for the UEFA cup.Just like in the old days.
I have no problem with folks choosing what games they attend now the game we love is run by business men.
If a $40,000 a week actor/singer produces a turkey of a movie/song I'll think twice about watching/listening the next time. The same goes for footy....given the game these days is polluted by actors on the playing field I think the consumer has the choice as to whether they buy the product or not.The affluent members of this board,such as Celtic supporting Jan, should consider others situations before spouting crap.
