They care about their money of course and that means they have to feign interest in the customers themselves but if people are paying £50 or more to go along and boo then why would the powers that be care about that? They've still got our money. The only effective protest is withdrawal of custom en masse and with the number of tourists and emotional attachment to the club that's not going to happen.

Whaddaya do?
What do you think about the attendances that dropped earlier on in the season? - quite a few league home games were going on general sale and not getting sold out. That never used to happen so regularly. I think fans do hold some power but it just takes too long. A few games in a row (3 or 4) of loud booing and demonstrations outside the ground would cause a reaction from the club, I'm sure. But I don't think our fans are unified against the higher-ups, which is fair enough.
