After having a sleep on things. I can't believe people have a season ticket, sit in front of the radio benches and abuse people trying to do their job rather than watching the game. To actually blame us for what's happening on the pitch is ridiculous. It needs sorting.

To those moaning Can the stadium host back to back fixtures in a safe environment? Does the stadium have 4 changing rooms? Can the pitch cope with 6 games in three days? Is it shared with an association football club? Why can't you be happy there is RL to watch? Bore off.
