Yeah.

would a good run in europe help increase the support Pats are getting for their home matches? which for a team top of the league and playing nice stuff is fairly dire.

Doubt it to be honest. You're right too, our crowds are **** poor. It's a real shame with the football this team is playing. Staying top of the league might do more than a good run in Europe to boost crowds. It's frustrating when you see us bring 5/6,000 or whatever it was to the cup final and we can't get near 2,000 regularly for home games.
