At the end of the day the vast majority of grassroots social activism is slacktivism. They'll change their Facebook avatars and whatnot but most club supporters just want to see their team win.
Especially teams like Man City and Newcastle. Clubs that suffered for a long, long time with no investment and as the 'Little Brother' to other, bigger clubs.
The average Joe on the street doesnt care. And why should they? They cant influence anything.
