because that is ridiculous lol, everybody doesnt get the oppurtunity to fly 5000 miles on a weekend to see a match ffs

Indeed, how I see it is like NBA I was a "fan" of the Rockets Yao Ming ftw but I would never consider myself a true supporter. I've got no ties with the team etc, plastics here think they are pure hardcore fans of their respective clubs and what not. When they have no ties with the club they just support them for shits and giggles, it's fine being a fan of them. But when you pretend your part of the ultras or something on the internet it just makes people look so plastic imo.

It's hard to explain in words for me anyways, like anyone can just sit at home and watch on TV blah blah. But when your in the crowd with the community, the piss up's pre during and post match with fellow fans, the banter with other fans (although on many occasions it isn't banter and turns nasty ). Having it being a weekly occurrence, damn those were the days

whitestar has inspired me to go to back down for a game this season, but I wonder if my overdraft will allow it

how can you say we have got no ties lol, my week is made if madrid wins, i dont feel like studying if we lose an important match as it plays on my mind .. shits and giggles ? really? thats completely wrong, we are just as much of fans as the locals , one of my dream to go the bernabeu and see madrid live or just live in spain and see them everyday ..

there are fans who think supporting clubs 2000 miles away is more of a fashions statement, sounds cool but there are hundreds of genuine fans who worry about cl draws, injuries to players, your rivals playing in your home stadium and celebrating among others .

geographical distance has nothing to do with it really ,this is not 1940s or something people have access to the same news , rumours, information about their 'favorite teams' ..
