The people who used to partake in this activity haven't miraculously gone away. A lot of them still attend games but have suppressed their natural urges to shout and sing racist or obscene things, due to the zero tolerance by the club and authorities of that kind of behaviour inside the grounds. That doesn't mean that they still don't believe they were in the right and wouldn't start up again given any encouragement. They carry on doing it anonymously anyway, hiding behind their keyboards on social media. It is hardly surprising that people from ethnic minority backgrounds have a deep distrust and are still reluctant to attend games.
