True enough.
I think clubs play a very dangerous game though, arrogantly thinking fans will return when the fair weather gang buggers off. Sadly though, they usually do return. It's up to supporters to draw the line though, clubs will soon take notice when it hits their pocket. I wonder how the Glazier's would cope, if Man U's fortunes on the pitch changed dramatically. When all the corporate, and fair weather fans sod off to the next dominant team. And end up with gaps in the crowd, where everyone has left, and now support FC United.
