Why’s it naive? If you want to enjoy the good times you’ve got to endure the bad. Imagine what difference an extra 1000 fans could make to the playing budget? £250k per season at least!
Question: What came first – the poor product (i.e. money spent by fans attending games being wasted on players of inferior quality, nothing spent on improving the facilities etc. etc.) – meaning fans were subject to lack of entertainment, team spiralling out of control despite them having attended and paid their hard earned?
OR
Fans, having spent their hard earned attending and supporting their team, identifying that the product no longer matches the outlay and therefore deciding not to attend any more, resulting in less money to spend (i.e. having to spend less on players of inferior quality, having nothing to spend on improving the facilities etc. etc.)?
