I watched the Raiders game the other day, now I know their playing poor and stuff but all those fans who had bought tickets and didn't turn up (no idea how many but do know they sold out and alot of empty seats).
Why didn't they give their tickets away, it wouldn't have made any difference to them would it. Few of my friends have season tickets for Wigan, Man Utd, Liverpool and Man City and I often get phone calls saying do I want to go because they can't for some reason or another. Get them a couple of beers which they wouldn't have got anyways and I get a cheap game.
