You seem to be tying yourself in knots awaywego. One minute you’re saying it’s the same as back then, then you randomly wheel in anything about the match day experience other than what the topic (which I didn’t start btw and wouldn’t have bothered raising) is about: Robbie Savage complaining about discriminatory and abusive chanting that over stepped the line (though we still don’t know what specific language he’s complaining about).
Tragedy chanting hasn’t nearly gone btw. It’s very much still around. Like racist chanting though, it’s far less than previous times.
It doesn’t bother me too much personally if I hear discriminatory chanting and it won’t stop me going to support the Iron, never has done, but one, it’s a bit naff and depressing and I keep a fair distance from it, and two, it’s a sad state of affairs if it puts some people off going, which research shows it does. Not attending matches due to it or attending and not feeling welcome or threatened is basically saying ‘you can go if you can handle it but you’ve no right to complain because we’re living in the dark ages so put up or shut up’.
