| Nowt to do with the badge.
A large % of our supporters are aged over 60 years old. It's this section of support that will be most nervous about milling around the concourses of a stadium. Covid cases are getting higher by the week and it must feel risky for then despite Boris feeding us with his 'Freedom Day'.
Also traditionally our attendances took a dip during kids school holidays. Granted not many going abroad these days but most will be having UK trips/campsites.
Things won't improve till next season (I hope assuming things improve) when the club advertise season tickets.
We have bigger issues though and that's bringing in younger support through. But that's always been the case.

You're definitely a troll. What a sad life you must live...

| The past has a nostalgia attached to it and people tend to favourably remember players, focusing in their better games and forgetting the not so good ones.
SOL is a prime example. He was in the top tier of players in the world, players and coaches within the game only had good to say about him though fans continually put him down. In 10/20 years time he will be remembered as one of the greats.

You missed a few era’s out there, the further back you go the better they get.
