It must be shite being a tourist supporter of a club. I don’t care what anybody says but there’s no way some random guy in Malaysia or Africa who decided to support Man Utd one day because he seen them on Sky can ever feel as strongly and as connected to a club as somebody from say Manchester who was born into a family that and has supported them since their formation is.

The game has moved on and Scotland was left behind. Not that many from Manchester compared to those from everywhere else and quite a few in Scotland. United have grown both a national and international fan base over the years, particularly through the succes in the Ferguson era. City not so much, whose glory is relatively recent. No doubt if they keep it up they will continue to grow Can't see why they can't feel as strongly. They may actually see things more objectively.

You're either born here or your family are from here. That will do for me regards support. We have a massive fanbase because of this and it does get passed down, I am proof, Family are all born in glasgow, aunts, uncles, cousins etc aside from me and my sister never changed or indeed was even a question of changing team despite us both growing up in England. Went to Ibrox first time with my dad and uncles etc when up on a visit never thought of following anyone else ever, and would not have been allowed to anyway! Don't go anywhere near enough now but seriously Rangers are my no.1 focus which looking back on that looks obsessive but heh that's the way it has been for a good 30 + years!

Surely it's no different for those home grown fans in England and many of whom have moved country. In one way they have been lucky to have been endowed with so much money, but not the fans fault. We are quite unique because of the religion and not that I have any issue with that at all, but of course some do. Whilst it makes no difference as to the club you choose to support, the commercialisation of the game up here is poor. The plastic pitches a disgrace. The nepotism, the corruption and bigotry against us a crime. Those who run the game up here, just simply incompetent. Personally, too fucking right I want my team playing in the Champions league every other week. with the chance of winning it and why not? We are a club of that magnitute, if not for the incompetents within our game. We do however get on with it no matter. At the other end of the scale, wether you support Brechin or you local junior team, I doubt they are any less passionate. We can only make the best of the circumstances we fing ourselves in, good or bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sell out but not a tourist in sight. Far better atmosphere. Those who dream of Rangers playing in England or joining some sort of European league have to consider that the more successful a team becomes, the more tourists it attracts. Consider it a downside of success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf if Liverpool keep winning then winning 10 0 every week would mean fuck all. Liverpool don't look to have many domestic losses in them so will need city to win twice v them then not drop many other points at all. Tough ask already imo. Good thing about hating English football is o don't really give a shit who wins it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swathes of empty seats in the Citeh sections at Wembley against Liverpool. We pull in near 50000 for a Europa League qualifier against MiniTiddyLand. Citeh struggle to get 25000 for ChampIons League group games even with kids for £1. What a fanbase. That does show how cringey they are tbh. Embarrassing.
