Overnight. And then for a protracted time.
That breakdown of a previously 'absolute' bond takes time to rebuild. It may never be quite the same.
There were countless old school, die-hard fans who chose to fade away.
Numbers are back up, but maybe newer fans are simply not as passionate in the same old-school way.
That may be just a reflection of a changing society , perhaps nothing specifically about 'City'.
