At the Sunderland v Everton match the published attendence was over 41,000. At the end there were "half that number"*, many of whom were Everton fans.
People were seen leaving the stands with 20 minutes remaining.
Sunderland were losing, but only by 2 goals to nil.
Surely a team in the position Sunderland are in this season, need all the support they can get. Players must respond to the attitude of the crowd. To see so-called supporters deserting them can do little good and may be detrimental to the prospects for next season.
I initially thought I might receive some adverse comments to this blog from Sunderland fans, but they probably stopped reading this some time ago and went to bed, or the pub!
