"When that stadium is full it's an intimidating place to play, it makes the team play better, it causes us to win more, to get more Premier League points, to finish higher up the table and therefore earn more TV money and that's the financial impact."

Not exactly accurate!

It might be an option if we don't win one of the next 3 games.

It won't be if we win one of our last 8 games. If we cannot win one game, we deserve to go down.

You would think we could win at least one of those games. It just seems that all the teams in the bottom 3 are getting up a head of steam at the right time. Someone is going to get dragged into the relegation scramble and I hope it the Mags or Villa and not us.
