Seen a lot of your fans criticising your support recently particularly away from home?
Fwiw, I remember Leicester being the same even before attracting a new type of fan after winning the Premier League. Big numbers but not much backing of your team
In all seriousness for a minute...
They have always been pretty well supported in terms of numbers but never that loud. Loudest I ever heard them was the 1-1 in 2009 (I think?) when they'd just come back up from League One, the drop down invigorated them in much the same way that it is doing for us in terms of making noise. Our fanbases were historically very similar size wise, but they had regular relegations & promotions which always gets the blood pumping more than annual relegation scrapes. Thats the difference really, they had 'events' which we never really had aside from the annual battle to avoid the drop which just f**king drains you, and you see now what a promotion push does to supporters. It has meant that they are more optimistic then we are, they talk themselves up, we tend to talk ourselves down, which is understandable. But even with all that they never really have made much noise, which is strange really. We are light years away from them on the pitch and our fanbase will have taken a big dent with all the Northampton & St Andrews stuff, but for whatever reason we have always been louder- well up until our trajectories separated & we stopped playing them anyway, I don't know about since then, but seems from what people say that they still don't really make much of a racket.
