quite the opposite. i've missed very few home games for 12 years. Admittedly I don't travel but I do my best and have sat at many games despite some of them been quite ropey.(weather or quality)
my point(badly explained) was many fans will go anyway but they are rarely full. We go to support the team not becase we think ireland v greece is going to be a cracker.
the journos complaining about poor attendances have either short memories or weren't there (only started watching football when they started covering it) or are thick.
so to answer your question - the real fans are here - which is why we were all at the rubbish games but we'll continue to go and be glad we went for the most part.
