I?m baffled that some can?t see a positive correlation of a decent sized and positive crowd and the impact on performance. Of course it doesn?t mean it?s guaranteed points if a crowd is partisan and supportive but there are far more examples of these teams having success versus not. Of course the team has to be be capable too, which I think is the bit that some aren?t getting.
This season the teams with big home support and no underlying issues have had successful home seasons?.Liverpool, Leeds, Brum and Bradford.
Durham used an away example and a team that was roundly booed off on more than a few occasions as we got relegated.
Support is important, but there are multiple pieces to the puzzle that need to be in good order for success.
