It is also clearly absurd not to provide enhanced facilities at Drayton

to pay - why should they?


Because it's their customers who are making the improvement necessary!

Sadly, being rather too cynical, I'm sure that AFC's attitude would be
that few, if any, of their fans would not travel to a home match
because Drayton Park station wasn't open. They'd simply walk from FP
instead and either blame "British Rail"/FCC or the "'Elf and Safety"
brigade for the problem. Anyway, why waste money on transport
improvements when they could waste it on ever-higher salaries for
their players and manager?
