Manchester City fans have hit back at taunting Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand over the empty seats at the Etihad this week. Both identities slammed City's support for the Champions League game with AS Roma.
But Andy Savage, who runs the website MCFCForum.com, told the Daily Mail: "I took Rio Ferdinand to task on Twitter. He was taking the mickey out of the empty seats at the Etihad last night.
"He is living in his own bubble there. Some people are living hand to mouth and don't know where the next penny is coming from, and he's criticising them for not filling the stadium when the tickets are £35-plus.
"He was an absolute disgrace on Twitter, as was Scholes on ITV. They are multi-millionaires. They don't give the man on the street a second thought, how much it is costing people.
"The cost of living is going up, so many people are out of work. Football is not everyone's priority, like it used to be. People just can't afford, over the course of the month, to pay for tickets three, four or five times.
"I took Ferdinand to task, and not because he is an ex-United player. He's got an autobiography coming out. I'm sure he's not giving that away. I'm sure he's not joined QPR for the love it. He'll be getting a substantial salary.
"Perhaps it will hit home next year if QPR have to put their prices up and they won't be able to fill their stadium. It really wound me up last night."
