Year after year after year of ‘dumbing’ down the fanbase. So many legacy supporters have given up their ST’s and so many of the remaining legacy fan ST holders put their tickets on the exchange most weeksIt's a 62k stadium and there are plenty of home fans. A lot of them are just not making the noise now. You get the Park Lane chants and about 6 people sing Shelf side ones. I don't think the issue is lack of home fans, I think it's lack of belief now in the team. Too long under Levy ultimately. I genuinely believe it's why we never get any pressure on him in numbers. Most of the fanbase are defeated or deflated by it all now. That's the sense I've felt when I go to games. Plenty of fans around me just not singing. The tourist and away fans only occupy a small percentage, there's plenty of home fans about to make noise. Park Lane is generally the one making noise I guess mostly ST holders sat there but they do seem to be the ones trying.
The ground should have been built with a bit of the old shelf and the away supporters should be nearer the ‘home’ supporters
