Some thoughts having slept on it, I didn't think it would be so well embraced, in fact Im starting to think was it 10,000?...why has everyone taken the BBC assesment as so valid, my mate ( obsessive , selfish crank) who stayed said more then half Kop left...conservative that's 7 to 8,000...are we saying only the equivalent numbers as Sunderland brought left the rest of the ground? I would be interested what the police view is as the post match debrief would have to asses the numbers for H&S reasons, having said it was a brilliant response whatever the figure.
For those who stayed,its a personal choice, but as with everything in life we must take responsibility for our choice of actions, and non- action is a choice....at some point the issue will be raised ( as I have experience in industrial actions) why do we make the sacrifices yet they who do nothing receive the benefit?
For me the next stage should have bigger impact, Id go for a match boycott at home ( a BIG ask!) ...and to maximise it I would choose the first ( if we have any) Sunday live 4pm KO for Sky, at this point I can only see Spurs at home being such a fixture...Buy a ticket and no show...or don't buy let the Yanks taste an Anfield void of the most committed fans.
Leaving the ground was the first time in long time I felt I was back amongst 'Shanks Red Army'..it reminded me of leaving Old Trafford in the Eighties, a mob of Liverpoool, thousands of us, powerful, no fear, taking control with impunity....it felt good!
