Ive seen this attitude towards foreign fans quite a bit on social media but what makes us better fans then them? You only have to see how popular the clubs are when they go on pre season tours and sell out games for meaningless games. These fans also get up at stupid hours to watch every game, probably more so then people do here tbh.

Of course, fans in this country are always likely to have a stronger attachment given the club is located here but i dont think that fans in other countries are not as valuable. We have all seen the pictures of “tourists” at the emirates with large bags of shopping from teh club shop but that could be their only trip to game in their life time so they make the most of it.

Again, on social media someone made an interesting point when people say the fans are against the super league. I suspect if you ask the majority of fans in Asia or America, they would rather watch arsenal v united more then arsenal v Burnley. Do their views not count ?
Our league sold its soul to a foreign fanbase years ago. We 'benefitted' from the money and the draw to England of the world's best players, and now we are crying about the consequences...
