Wow! Wildean levels of wit. Regarding crowds, they can go,the other way. From 963 to tens of thousands who hadn't missed a game for decades descending on Wembley 4 years later.
Honestly I don't know why you let it bother you, we've never been massively supported, our average attendance in over 100 years of existence is about 12,000. Just enjoy it for what it is because you certainly can't change it, as long as you have your club to watch who really cares what other people do?
