The Devlin Disguise

The trouble with that is even 2011 was 13 years ago - long enough for another older generation to pass on or stop going (e.g my dad stopped a couple of seasons ago), and we've been awful for most of that spell, so there's probably been fewer than average new fans to replace them. I think it's right there's a bit of latent support out there, and pick-and-choose people who might come more often as Rab is getting at. But the biggest thing for me is the longer term plan to get new fans in, rather than victimising potentially imaginary stay-aways (not saying you're doing that by the way). Winning some and getting higher up the table would help too.

I think new fans will be the main target nowz and it should be. It's a big city and we will find a way to appeal to it.

With that I imagine there will be a few things that some traditional fans may not like.
