Strange how you mention Liverpool, they are the people now who try and level the "out of town" supporters at Man U. And yet they have been doing it for decades, double standards me thinks. |
Yes you are right about the prawn sandwich brigade, although where as your fair weather fan will support who ever is winning titles, they will support which ever sport is fashionable and when the love affair is over, the clubs will expect the traditional supporter to return and they will.
