    Nope, because the type of fans that do this stuff are 99% dribbling fucksticks.

    I don't think the Arsenal under Kroenke is like that. In any case, I will have followed the team in the red shirts and white sleeves for 40 years come October 6th 2011 so I cannot imaging supporting any other club.
    Consider the following:
    (a) director/shareholders suck the money out of the club directly a la glazer
    (b) directors/shareholders deny the club the ablity to invest in the team and instead have the earnings of the club sit around in the bank or tied up in property developments - meaning that the share price goes up as the club gains wealth but none of that is turned into sporting sucess. They they cash out when the shares have gone up enough for a backdated payday.

    Theory: (a) = (b) = same fucking thing

    Hard core fans? I thought the price of the season ticket was meant to exclude them. There's certainly an attraction to watching grass-roots football, closer to the action, more commitment by the players, potentially a greater say in the running of the club and fans treated as customers rather than cash cows. But in the end whilst the involvement might be greater the end product is shite.
