It still exists though.... just not at the highest level. Where the club was once the property of the committed 30,000 there are now millions of fans across the globe that support it "sufficiently".
I'm sure if we all picked up a Blue Square South club we'd get to experience that connection again. Footy'd be shite though.
I do wish the players would stick a bit more but maybe that's part of the problem with picking up talent from across the globe as opposed to home growing local youngsters. I guess the real test will be how long Wilshere remains here.
