nowadays you don't need to miss a second of live action. Between bars and the streamers we are all able to watch our club live, and it is well documented on here that you get a much better view on your laptop.
The point is the question is as hard to answer as ever it was: why should I make this big commitment if all they dish up is shit (just a different kind of shit).
All that has been widely available for at least three seasons, my point is why would someone choose now to stop going for footballing reasons? I fully accept that there will always be external reasons for not going, I couldn't afford it for years following divorce for example, but they would exist if we were brazil like in every game and sweeping all before us. Considering some of the crap we've watched why would anyone look at the current squad, the manager's track record and the bottomless pit of cash at his disposal and think, nah I can't be bothered. For the last couple of months under Hughes we couldn't buy a win, Mancini has come in all of a sudden there is a distinct shape and organisation to our play, yes it's far from perfect at the moment but think back two months and tell me honestly that you would have complained about a 2-0 win against our perennial bogey team Bolton regardless of the spectacle.
