Partly we are to blame, inclusively as Carlton fans. We do get out-voiced by opposition fans, be it Nthmond, The Filth or CheatsFC, and umpires are also heavily influenced by the crowd. That is the real home ground advantage, nothing to do with ground size, shape, surface, location or orientation. Pretty much everyone knew or knows that, but we still surrendered our home ground, our club didn't put a value on that, and now we get scheduled to play in sleepy hollow!
