It is not about your home support no more! Other top clubs are not interested in their 'captive audience' it is about attracting more overseas based 'supporters' who always spend more on merchandising and other things that turn a profit! Liverpoo and Man U are known for it up north! You can't get a match ticket unless you are outside the postcode!Nothing would happen to Wenger! He is one of the managers who wants the 39th game in the Premiership because he thinks foreign fans deserve to be able to see their team play - yet he short changed all those foreign fans who paid good money to see Arsenal on Tuesday. It really could have been a night to remember for them, yet we all came away disgruntled with a 4-1 win. We only want what we are paying for - top notch football. It would have been nice to show all those London based fans who didn't go that they had missed something special too.
It was however a new experience for me - the first time I have seen a water cannon outside a ground and the number of armed policemen there was quite something!
The big clubs get more money for a televised game than in gate receipts from premiership games!
The game has moved away from its roots of 'local' support!
The worst and funniest was a couple of our supporters with a couple of armoured Alsatians at ninian park coming out at the end of a win!!!!
Never mind the police horses!!
A week later, Leeds and Cardiff fans(!) tore up the whole place.
