The club should be laying on free coaches for all away games as of right now to give us a fighting chancing of picking up as many points as possible on our travels - but it isn't.  I just don't get what kind of thinking goes on behind the scenes.  At the moment there is a sense of disconnect between the marketing/ticketing people and the support.

Another example of people complaining about a non issue for the sake of complaining about something and making connection between this and the deeper malaise at the club.

I have no idea why so many equate extra support with extra points. I have been part of a 3,000 strong travelling contingent that has seen us beaten out of sight often enough to know that this isn't the case. I'd sooner they subsidise a few pre match pints to be honest.

yeah  Leicesters owners  laid on free beer for Leicester fans at Leicesters ground the other night against man city
and its not the first time they've done it


It was the sponsors who donated it, but never mind.

Yes, the phrase "courtesy of the club's sponsors Singha" was the giveaway.

Magnificent today. Sunderland fans saying we were the best there this season.

We're down now but let's go down with our heads held high. Let Lerner know what we think, let the players know if they're not giving 100% but let's be proud and loud everywhere we go.

Or Bells. Bottle of whiskey for each attending fan. That'll numb the pain a bit.
