I know its been said many times before but our support is unbelievable.
Only 2 crowds bigger in the Championship yesterday and we got more than Birmingham v Pigs (6th v 8th in country's second biggest city) Burnley v Hull (3rd v 1st) and more than all 3 games in London, 2 of which had big away followings.
Problem is the board seem to be taking this for granted and paradoxically it means McCabe can hang on for longer. A big dip in crowds, however unwelcome it might seem, may cause him to sell up if he can't stomach higher operating losses.
I for one can remember the days when we used to get 12k in times of lower league football and can't understand how the crowds are holding up so well. You only have to look at the crowds Bolton, Blackburn, Cardiff, Charlton, Fulham, QPR et al regularly get to see how committed our support base is.
