Lack of local pride and feeling distant from their club, generations brought up being told how rubbish the local team are.
A mind set that could easily be rectified by involving all in a programme of steady sustainable growth throughout the club
I agree with this. You only have to look at how many plastic Mancs cram into the Pickering Phipps, when they are on TV. If I tell anybody who I follow, I get the inevitable, and oh so predictable, "youre just a load of Cobblers". And I have heard this hundreds of times.
With regard to your second point, I just dont see that this situation will be easily rectified. These people arent going to change.
