Sorry maybe I'm not explaining myself clearly.
The fans had an opportunity to show the club how important their survival through COVID was to them in the early stages of this tournament.
The club managed to make 1500 tickets available to the fans yet they only sold just over 1000 with many hiding behind the B team boycott and criticising others who attended to support their club.
It's possible I suppose that those fans are attracted by the increased prize money in the latter rounds but in order to get there you have to get through the earlier rounds and it would be easier to have a more direct input into the clubs coffers by selling out games when we are able to attend.
