I don't believe 10000 fans won't go to Stratford. People who've signed that petition will go, people who go on demonstrations will go. There will be a break away, of course, but as with FC United, it will be as much about the culture of modern football as anything else.
But the club will lose a lot of the resilience in its fan base in doing so. We'd get 36k in the Championship in the current ground.. Move to Stratford and Europa League won't be good enough. Expecations will rise, as the club will have filtered out the fans who put soul before glory.
pfff. Another way of putting it could be 'the club will have filtered out the stubborn as mule fans that put postcodes before genuine chances of furthering the clubs success'. Both are equally generalizing, and don't hold weight. I'd support the team equally in Stratford in the Europa League as I would at WHite Hart Lane in the Champions League. Where do you pigeon hole me?
