10 years ago we were winning the FA Cup.
The real fans still go or are too old to make the games.

They certainly seemed to influence the refereeHow good were PSG fans the other night? We need to be as intense as that in our big home games!

10 years ago we were a poor side and big important victories were rare and incredibly well received.
We are now one of the best club sides in the world, expect to win a vast majority of games and win a good persentage of those comfortably.
Generating atmosphere when hammering poor teams by 5 goals is difficult , never mind when a teams plays 10 behind the ball and trying to keep the score respectable.
Added to the fact that a lot of real fans have been priced out of the game and replaced by corporate, whom are more interested in the half time cuisine.
poor side? We’d just won the fa cup and had a really good side. Agree with some of your other points though
Poor side was the wrong term, a growing side, a side learning to win and become winners, there was a buzz about the place, going back in time.poor side? We’d just won the fa cup and had a really good side. Agree with some of your other points though
The same buzz was at the ground when Howard Kendal was manager, from losers to building a winning team.
We are now at the stage of expecting to win and expecting to be entertained, a huge shift in why the atmosphere is no longer what it was.
And those same fans have seen us win multiple trophies, a dream but the fact is, it is almost expected.10 years ago we were winning the FA Cup.

I agree mate. Many take it for granted or are satisfied with all that we’ve achieved.And those same fans have seen us win multiple trophies, a dream but the fact is, it is almost expected.
Some let the media onslaught get to them but they only way to best that is to stick together, support the team and expand our fan base amongst friends and family etc.

Same that roof didn't help, sure I have a video somewhere will try find it.
That's the major problem we have as a fan base for me, 'satisfied with what we have achieved!"I agree mate. Many take it for granted or are satisfied with all that we’ve achieved.

We should not be satisfied, grateful and proud yes, but don't we want more, better, greater?
I hope we do as fans, because I am 100% certain the Manager and owner sure do.

Yeah the roof at the back was really low and being an unexpectedly hot day might also have encouraged people to drink a bit more than usual. Not often you see people at an October away game in the north in shorts and T shirtsSame that roof didn't help, sure I have a video somewhere will try find it.
