The issue isn’t people who went to Yeovil and Hartlepools. We’ve been supplanted by a cohort of band wagon jumping, glory chasing, entitled yet know nothing gobshites. At one point in time everyone experiences life events and then the system then conspires to lock them out of getting back in - and the experience nowadays is such that I (and I’m guessing others) no longer want to. It’s certainly less than 10% of the people I know who were going away in Div III that still do now. I think you need to look at more recent events.
