They're stuck watching the football indoors with the missus.
They can no longer use the excuse "support the team not the regime" for their day out on the lash.
I really hope it is this
After I gave up my ST post Rafa it became very easy to see what the 'product' of NUFC actually was and it was terrible.
When football only makes up 2 hours of a day out with mates/family its easy to ignore how dire the activity that you're building the day round actually is. Stripping all that away and forcing people to actually choose to watch this shite will have been a massive eye opener.
Ive said for years that the location of SJP is actually one of the biggest things holding our club/fanbase back. Its too easy to turn up, accept the shit youre served and then go back to the pub or home. If following the club actually took any effort (like living away from the area or an out of town stadium) then people would have walked away many years ago.
Once you see things for what they actually are its very difficult to go back.
