You cannot take one match in microcosm. That type of apathy will always have been present, whenever it rains, or we lose a couple of games, etc. The big underlying problem is that the club has adopted ticketing, pricing and membership policies that has reduced enormously the pool of local match going blues that would pick up the slack when a few of the more easily deterred drop out.

From my perspective, City have put all of their eggs in the lucrative corporate and tourist basket, and neglected completely initiatives aimed more locally and affordably. As I originally said, that is great, just as long as we win week in week out, and keep the tourists engaged at top dollar. If we don’t….
