Empty Away Seats

[tomytony]

Yet again SYP proved they aren't fit for purpose on Saturday. Interesting to note that as I returned to my car post match I walked past a row of private charters awaiting their scum customers all being policed by.... yep Durhams finest. Either SYP need real coppers to come down every other week from the North East or SUFC have f u c ked the useless cu n ts off and just employ the Geordie pigs.

They were obviously overstretched by the Dingle derby SBT.

I have noticed this at some other grounds too though. At Arsenal I asked for directions from one and he said he had no idea as they had been bussed in for the day from Bedford.

At Blackpool a few years ago we were policed by SYP's finest. Maybe bussing them about adds to the bill with the extra hours being paid.

Would it not have made more sense to bus some pigs in from West Yorkshire? After all,they'd be familliar with the likes of that mong that ran on the pitch!

Now come on, be fair. Using common sense when a public entity is involved when it's not available to those in power. @)

The term common sense is an oxymoron. It is in fact exceedingly rare and not at all common.

Must admit I was surprised the crowd was under 28,000. Thought it would have touched 30 at least

Live on Sky. Cat A prices. Folk have a finite amount of disposable income and decisions to make. Add to that our recent sketchy form. You might not like all that but it is very relevant.

There were 4,800 Leeds fans at Hillsborough.
If they’d brought that amount to Bramall Lane then it would have been just over 30K.

any game at the lane that is live on sky should not be a* game dont care who it is we get 100k from sky so club can afford to lower prices imo

It looks pathetic having the front rows empty on upper and lower tiers
It's about time the club stopped pandering to these tw@ts that only want the easiest day they can possibly have

Away fans should get every seat in the lower tier, all 2900 of them, without any interference from any stupid gobshyte jobsworth.

They should also be allowed 1500 in the top tier if it's a game that they will sell but we won't.......like yesterday.

Make these tw@ts making the rules earn their money without it costing United a fortune every season.
Everywhere else fans are separated by a couple of rows of seats and a row of stewards, so why not here ? If the authorities can't do the job get some other private security companies to do it instead.

Our fans are far from the most uncontrollable and even the most volatile clashes are nothing compared to say Celtic/Rangers.

Spot on JJ!

Near enough a full house in every home game when we were last in the Prem, and I can’t recall any real bother in the ground even on the day we were relegated. How is it that other grounds in other towns and cities can be filled to capacity?
