No matter how your team are playing you should still go and watch them. If you stop watching them because they arnt playing attacking football then your not a true fan.

There was an end of season feel to this clash. At times, the lack of passion made you question if you'd inadvertently strolled into a friendly.
It's difficult to know who lost interest first, the fans or the play-ers? Not a save or an attempt on goal worthy of description.
Blackburn eased through the game, Blackburn outnumbered Liverpool in midfield, played one up front, defended with vigour and deservedly gained a draw without the slightest hint of requiring to hold on. They never looked like scoring themselves, but with their limp opponents lacking craft, guile, and in some cases, will, a goal on the break was no more unlikely than a Liverpool winner.
After Leverkusen, Benitez hoped some momentum would follow. Instead, it's been yet another bad few days for the club.
A rival manager says he's already signed Liverpool's captain and there isn't even the threat of a denial, never mind a rebuke from elsewhere.The doomsday picture of a Real Madrid approach for the only man capable of sorting this mess out is played down, but not completely ruled out.
Then a side fighting for its future can't raise its game to reduce the gap between itself and Everton in the build-up to the derby.
And just for the record, this was the night Liverpool ' s 2005 Premiership title bid officially ended. Chelsea are 30 points ahead with only 27 still available for Benitez's side. No chance of a comeback then.
The derby is a one-off which may restore morale, but May still can't come quickly enough.
The sooner those not wanted, and those who don't want to be at Anfield, put themselves and the rest of us out of our misery and make their intentions known, the sooner this club can move on and start rebuilding again.
"Painful" was how I sum it up.

You cant expect a big decrease in fans going to the game.
Rovers in the premiership - stanley in the conference = Stanley get more away following.

Like i say - ARMCHAIR FANS, thats what its down to

The figure for away fans was closer to 700 actually, and thats still terrible.

I didnt go because i couldnt afford, what with an expensive weekend in cardiff coming up. The fa cup has taken my money, and £30 to go to liverpool is too much. I`m not even going to man utd away.

And our average away attendence is bigger than stanleys average home crowd.

If i had the money i`d be at every game.

Last season i missed just 3 games. This season i have missed about 10 or 12. I simply cant afford it, the premiership ticket prices have gone up a lot this year.
