A row has broken out on twitter between Gary Neville and Sky Sports presenter Jeff Sterling
THe latter took to twitter on Tuesday night to note that the crowd at Salford’s Peninsular stadium game against Hartlepool United was just 2,139 with 500 of those the away team
“Did someone forget to tell fans of @SalfordCityFC there was a game? 2,139 — 500 of those from @Official_HUFC !” Sterling who is a Hartlepool fan tweeted.
Adding
“Some may say they are an artificially created club. After all @officialbantams [Bradford City] get 20,000. And yes I know we will probably get relegated, but support your team ffs!”
To which Neville responded
“We’re quite proud to have got to a crowd of 2,139 from an average of 120 and 40 season ticket holders 7/8 years ago in the Evo-Stik North! Hope the head isn’t too woolly when you get up”
Salford won the game 2-0, a result which leaves them with a chance of reaching the playoffs
