That's a bit harsh mate.We have some top top fans. We are passionate, but we're also quite well educated. Not in a posh sense, more a football sense, mainly because if the football we've seen iver the last 15 years and the stuff we saw before.Yes the atmosphere has changed over the years, but there are many reasons behind that. Mostly because it has become far too expensive for local die hard working class fans to attend games. You have the money to get a plane over, stay in a hotel, go out drinking and go to a match. And i don't doubt your support at all. In fact, i think it's great that someone so far away can care so passionately. But people 1 mile down the road can't afford 50 quid, let alone the rest.It's happening at every club. But the passionate fans you have in your dreamworld are usually associated with clubs who still gather local support, price accordingly etc. if they had the financial pull of a bigger club, you can garuntee they will alienate their core support in exactly the same way.So save your posturing on passion etc and just get behind the lads. Cos that's what its about. Through good and bad.
