Boro have had poor crowds for years. The happy clappers they attracted during the good times have disappeared. Too many of them about. They want to associate with a succesful club, but disappear during the bad times.Bombo said:Sad to see all the empty sapces at the riverside a good club like Middlesbrough losing their fan base. I work in engineering and a lot of teeside lads are working away from home cos of a chronic job shortage there. I think this is a big factor in their attendance's sad to see. The lads I work with love their club but love their families more and work away for a month at a time going home for I weekend in four. Good luck borough a better club than most that are in the premier league.
