Would that be similar to guesses everyone else, well most including you, are making about motives, boycotts, no extra income being made, ripping fans off etc,etc.

If anyone cares to look at my first post on the subject of numbers it was a response to a claim that a totally packed out East stand shouted us to victory over Manchester city in 2018, I was pointing out there was only a similar number in the east to what were in other stands, ie the West which had no netting anywhere.
