It was a lot better before the Glazers came in as well but that sent the locals running to FC United, freeing up extra seats for the increasing amount of day trippers.
Liverpool and Chelsea are having partly the same problem with glory hunters but tbh it's nowhere near as bad as the majority are still locals mainly because there's next to no reason to leave unlike United's takeover.
Plus Liverpool's aren't that bad from what I've seen! Ours are mostly scandinavian and like to sing along.:yes
yh i think anfield is usually in good voice.
well not every game of course. but it is a bit better than OT and stamford bridge.
i have to admit though, emirates and the stamford bridge have a really bad atmosphere.
its overall football in england as well. i think in 10 years time most of the real football fans will be the ones supporting lower leagues team, while the bigger teams in the premiership will be mostly full of glory hunters.
of course not all the locals will go and support another team. but i cant see the atmosphers getting better with more and more fans coming to watch football matches like its somekind of a movie.
and the ticket prices now are just pathetic. too much money involved in footy.
and i will be coming down to manc in april, not to OT though, i will be off to blackburn for the away game, and after that i will go to the FC united home game.
for me its not the same to go down to OT anymore.
away games are still great to go and support ur team at.
but it still costs too much. and i cant stand the fans who come from USA and asia.
seriously, im not the only one, but i know that many will disagree, but USA and asia got nothing to do with football. its a sport for europe and south america, and a bit of africa.
i just see it that way.
