What's wrong, and a blight on football are little kids who choose what team to support by looking at a results table or because of one charismatic player. What if everyone supported the same team? The future of football relies on diverse, geographical support for all teams.

I understand the points you make, I was merely stating, it's always directed at Man U. Liverpool were doing it for years, and nothing was mentioned. And even now, they have thousands of out of towners, and still the focus is on Man U. This makes me laugh no end.
As a Man U fan, I take no pride, in so many out of towners, and indeed, people from other countries supporting them. It's because of this that many locals aren't going to games anymore (as well as the extortionate prices being charged). But as has been said, people have the freedom to watch who they like.
