Come off it CL you are all in the same country. It's not as if you had to fly abroad or something!

There were people who had flown from the UK, there was also a couple in their 70s who had driven from Winnipeg.
The players could not be bothered to walk half a pitch length.

Agreed not good enough.  Well done to our supporters in any case.

I noticed this a lot at away games last season. Particularly Gabby who is one of the first off down the tunnel without even a glance at the away end.

I am surprised Lambert-Keane have allowed that to happen as they are both old school thinkers ......

When it comes to being arsed with coming all the way up to the away support and clapping them Kevin Gage was always excellent in that respect.

Players should never forget who pays their wages these days. They should run up to the cameras and applaud.

fans are no longer represent the majority of the revenue for player wages. I'm sure the players thank the TV companies, sponsors, agents. Not saying they don't appreciate the fans but we shouldn't kid ourselves regarding the dwindling financial influence we have.

As was Mark Lillis.

Who pays the TV companies for the privilege of watching the football? Who buys the products that the players advertise? It's still "us".

[PeterWithesShin]

Although I get your point, I'd have thought the majority who pay the TV companies rarely, if ever, set foot inside a football ground.

I reckon a huge percentage of attending supporters also have Sky. I was assuming that Toronto meant all fans, not just those regularly in attendance, particularly because he used the word "we".

[Toronto Villa]

agree. Football supporters who actually go to games represent a fraction of the wider sports audience that buy sports packages on TV. Again, this isn't me saying they shouldn't have come over to thank the travelling fans, but just that our level of influence on footballers wages isn't what it was many years ago. That gap has grown immeasurably and will continue to grow. At the top level football could play in front of a simulated audience and it would still appeal to the TV audience.
