DoggingI am not sure that is really matters these days Rory. Many years ago whenever we went up and down the country becaus we were a " small club" we felt we actually mattered when we made a racket and a lot of the fans actually knew the players and a lot of the players had been with the club for years, so you felt like it was your club.
These days with revolving doors and players coming and going every other season, as well as the clubs view that we are punters, not fans, it is not the same.
The demographics of football has changed and the days where there was constant singing and a wall of noise, like you used to get has been replaced by comfortable seating, families and a removal of the intimidating atmosphere in grounds has all led to a sterilised experience. Not saying that is a bad thing!
But people are happy to stand and watch these days.
