Apathy, there are too many other “attractions”
Too much football on television with a Saturday lunchtime game.
The “ younger ones” often have no appetite for physical sport preferring to tap their fingers at home. Look at the local football leagues and there are not anywhere near the same number of teams as there was in the 70’s.
Where wives and children used to come they don’t because they or their spouses don’t want them subjected to the abuse spouted by ill mannered supporters
As has been mentioned before there has been no ground improvements to attract more supporters.
Although it is not as expensive as going to a league game it’s still expensive if you add other costs if coming in from outreaching towns and villages.
Then there is the attraction of Heacham, Downham, Swaffham and Fakenham football to compete with.( I have no idea of the costs but it may be more convenient and offer a reasonable afternoon’s entertainment
People are more home orientated.etc.etc
