They had their record EVER home crowd against us last season. It was less than our lowest crowd since return to the Championship which was close to yesterday ironically
To be fair their record crowd ever is 38,098 and their ground doeesn't even hold 13,000 now, but I take your point. But fans are fans. I think it would be galling to see players like Stead (who ain't that good IMO) to go to a team in a league below when they could play in the Premier League, but the truth is that City will pay higher wages. Oyston wouldn't bow to the agents' demands and I believe that they've put a £10,000 cap on salaries.
I know that Jay Simpson, who City were in for, ultimately went to Hull rather than us because we wouldn't pay £14,000 a week for an Arsenal reserve in teh Championship. Hull are on a suicide mission so would pay that. Time will tell who is right.
