What we have to accept is, that the hardcore of fans is around 22000, who have seen us play shite, good, great, and indifferent.
Which are the ones who have been attending since the championship, and even league one.
I don't want to put all of the fans attending since we got into the premier league in to the category of those that are less patient, but some are only there because we are in the premier league, and have impatient, higher expectations.
I really don't like the term plastic fans, and will not use it, but we now have some of our fans that are only there for the ride.
I don't want to offend new season ticket holders, as I have said not all, I'm just giving an observation, as I know quite a few who are only there because we are in the premier league, and some didn't go to some games, last season during the poor run.
My own view in people leaving early is, I don't really care, people have their reasons, I leave on 88-89 minutes, due to poor mobility, some leave because we are not playing well, they pay the money, it doesn't concern me, let them get on with it.
