100% this ^^^ and therefore it doesn't reflect the wider fanbase. It's the football equivalent of a review site for car hire. Who really bothers with leaving positive reviews when they return their car? But if something goes wrong on a trip then it's 1* and an accompanying rant.

Same on message boards , easier to find the energy and inclination to moan when we lose or draw rather than praise when we win. Plus we are Notts County FC the opportunity to moan is far more common, it's the easy option lol
