I agreed with all that - we were so poor our gates were low really low - so any of the players would have heard direct criticism with cushions being thrown at HK in the Dugout too... what he stated was a true fact it was a club in trouble that rose from the phoenix
Yeah, it was true that our gates were down. One of the two major reasons for that was a chronic lack of success for 12 years or so; the other was mass unemployment.
I have no idea why Sharp wanted to underline that Goodison was taking so few fans in compared to the (reduced by then) capacity, other than to have a dig at fans.
In the process he underlined what a divvy he is for not recognising the difficulties people had getting to a game the when cash was very short for many.
