Yes, 25 year old fans, let's say they starting supporting NUFC at age 10, they've only known Ashley and us being shit, and twice not even in the top league.
Sad really, when i was 10 it was just as Bobby was coming in, so i knew us as a good team competing at the top and in the Champions league, so as such i expect more from the club.
Maybe the younger fans don't expect us to do better, even though they might want it.
Mid table is the best they know bar that one off 5th place.
Like you say, conditioned.
