As I’ve previously said, by just talking about the money you aren’t factoring in the other factors.
Buying a pint in the ground, it benefits the single individual in getting that pint.
A Wednesdayite attending an away game
1. keeps the protest going
2. keeps the protest in the media
3. provides vocal support of the players (not happening at Hillsborough).
4. Gives the fan base a shot in the arm and an opportunity to show their unwavering support and what it means to be Wednesday.
The two situations are not comparable no matter how many times you keep bringing it up.
