From memory, and I apologise if I have got this wrong - both ended up attending matches under Di Canio anyway! Some exile eh...success on the pitch nearly always leads to fans returning, regardless of the reason they stopped.
Went back second season. Nothing to do with "success", my youngest wanted me to start taking him to games again so put his wishes first. Fucking hated it, tbh, relieved when the bastard left. But feel free to make your own judgement on something you know fuck all about, you clearly have already.
