In my opinion, although travelling numbers have undoubtedly gone up over the years, the actual support for the team has gone down. By that I mean the number of people travelling to ‘watch’ Scotland these days, includes quite a significant percentage of the attention seeking, lets get dressed up comic relief style and adopt a wacky persona ( until we get home) fan. Basically, the interest in actually supporting the team in this shower is pretty insignificant. Sometimes zero.
Back when I started going (early 80s) there was very few of the wacky funster types. ( AKA twats)
In short, I believe our numbers have gone up but the actual support has gone down 😳
