    I'm personally glad when I read about swathes of empty seats in grounds, that the fans are slowly but surely realising they are being fleeced something wicked by the Premiership clubs (did you realise you can get a season ticket for some teams in Spain's La Liga for as low as 200 Euros?).

    To be fair to Boro, attendances all across the Football League have been down.

    I think the announcers were being a bit cheeky when they mentioned people being on vacation. I think the attendences have been down the last couple of seasons, at least early on, and then perk back up.


    It was nice to see Chelsea drop points early on. Makes the season interesting right from the get go. Some of the early results are a bit deceiving though.
