does it hurt you that more people turned up for our FA cup game against wigan than some of your europa league games?
if that was my club, in its first season in europe and our neighbors were getting more fans for an FA cup game against a div1 side i'd feel really let down by my fellow fans
No, attendances at football matches have never interested me. Certainly not enough to hurt me.
we dont have a large hardcore following, we haven't for as long as I remember so comparing to a club with historically bigger numbers is a bit futile really. Im under no illusions that if we are ever relegated then 25% of the current crowd will leave.
The Premier League is a bigger pull than the Europa League (which wasnt our first season in europe as you suggest by the way) and in a 60 game season people will prioritise, just the way it is. No reason to be hurt over it
Although if a madman came in turned us green, rid us of our swan and plunged us into £100m debt id be mortified if the majority of the match day crowd didn't to their upmost to fight for our club and not just bask in the fact we have Premier League status for what could be 1 season.
