I've been supporting the Arsenal all my life, and in all the time I've been going (some 25 years) I have never had the urge to write about our beloved club until now. All I can say is that my Grandad would be turning in his grave if he witnessed what I did on Sunday.

The final whistle blows and I look to see that the ground is half empty and has been so for the past five minutes or so. I think to myself did we lose, or play crap football? Have we just beaten Huddersfield in the Carling Cup? No, we have just beaten Liverpool 3-0 and yet still half the spectators, I won't call them fans, cannot give of their time to stay and thank the players who have given their all.

I spoke to all those around me and we all agreed that it is a disgrace and an embarrassment. I'm sure some of you will trot out the usual about the congestion being terrible after the game but for two reasons I won't accept this. Firstly, and most obviously, if you love the club as I do, you stay to the end whether winning or losing to show that you are one with the players and secondly I remember when Arsenal had crowds of 50 000 and I don't remember the North Bank being half empty at the final whistle.

I feel that the only way that this serious problem can be redressed is if the club go further than the programme notes that Thierry wrote, but that Arsene has to relay a message on the big screen imploring everyone to stay to the end to support the team. If you don't want to do that then stay at home and give someone who would love to go, but can't afford to go, your ticket so that we can have more true fans in the ground.

PS - please don't just blame the club level as both the lower and upper tiers were embarrassingly empty as well.
