100% agree.
There needs to be a culture of supporting the club developed in good times and bad. For me, that hasn't been evident in my life time hence City's notoriously fickle support which can be evidenced by attendances.
I don't think the lack of numbers in attendances, bearing in mind City enjoy higher averages now than they have in my lifetime are due to the South Wales public traipsing up to the North West to watch non local teams?
