It is the lack of public support or even lack of showing awareness to the fans that has led to the opinion that the club is to blame. The fact that away fans are not aware they can't bring flags, the fact that a simple explanation of the h&s situation and an apology to fans for the resulting flag ban has not been made. The apparent lack of empathy for a group of fans often acknowledged as the team's 12th man. No details in public to stress what lengths they have gone to to try and ensure the flags can stay. It seems as though the club have just laid down and let the powers that be enforce the situation instead of putting up a fight in the name of common sense. This is why the club are at fault. Other clubs do not have these issues. It is not because we are being persecuted it is because the club have accepted it without trying to argue against it (apparently)
