    Our supporters this weekend

    I won’t repeat the superlatives because we’ve all seen it. Just a comment how the passion demonstrated can only help the club, moving forward. 70,000 people travelled almost the length of the country without a ticket. Who would argue that we couldn’t fill an 80,000 capacity stadium week in, week out?
    All other club owners must look on enviously and the amount of televised games we have for a club not in the big six is getting embarrassing for them.
    Our support sets us apart and if the on the pitch side can become anywhere near as good, then the sky’s the limit.

    And then you add in the bars, pubs and fanzones that were rammed.

    Aye, we could fill a much larger stadium.

    That bit at the end where our fans were singing and waving their flags whilst some of the Man U fans were buggering off was just class. Nice of Gary Lineker to tweet about our 'proper support'.

    They were buggering off to avoid the crammed tube carriages to take them home to the London suberbs

    Aye, just need a team to match it. Sadly, despite their endeavour, at least half of this team does not. The good news is, we now have owners who (given time) will rectify it.

    Aye - with these owners we can really fly.
