Yeah, I gotta be honest I think even AFC fans are past it by now. Anyone who has been before knows what a crap away day it is at the best of times. 12:30 k.o adds to its poor appeal, let alone sitting inside the home end trying to cause aggro with a police presence.
I'd get it I'd there was more of a tense edge, such as a playoff game of a cup tie even - but at not this one. The last time they came here for an early kick off, the sky sports game, I mean it when I say I didn't see one single AFC fan outside the ground before or after the game. I arrived 20 mins before kick off, walked from ASDA to gate 5, and of course we were held inside our own gaffe for 15 mins so by the time we got let out they'd all gone
Yup, even the fact its been moved to a mid-day kick off is ridiculous. Treating the game like its Fenerbahçe vs Galatasaray, when in reality not many people give that much of a damn anymore, on either side.
I still think it's one of the more appealing games of the season (up until the end if we're challenging for promotion) but that's not saying much given the teams in the league and lack of exciting fixtures.
