Can you imagine the outcry if Liam had played the full 1st team and 3 or 4 picked up niggling injuries which meant they would have missed the Luton game, or even got sent off only to serve a 3 match ban, he was "damned if you and and damned if you don't", I think the criticism would have been far greater than it was after the game, also he did say in an interview that he intended to have a look at the fringe players, this he did so fans must have had an idea of the team before they went.
Also I understand the fan's points about the admission price but you should know it wasn't totally a club decision, admission prices have to be agreed between the clubs and the KCFA, I think going much lower than we did might not have got agreed, the rule actually states that we should have charged our normal admission price of £15, so to reduce by almost half might have proved difficult to ratify, I know for a fact if the fixture had been reversed the admission price would have been £10, I hope this helps a bit in way of an explanantion.
