I accept this was further enhanced through the likes of George Best and the like, but it must have started somewhere.
I cant imagine there were too many Man Utd fans living outside Manchester pre Munich 1958..... ? Do you suppose Chelsea fans only live in Chelsea? Man or the Club?? Ps Professor Ellis Cashmore, is a good read on the impact of Man U on society. |

Exactly my point.....they are bloody everywhere, and 99.9% per cent of thm have never been within 100 miles of Old Trafford......They just support a brand because they have been brainwashed by global marketing !!
So I have never been to Rio,can I not love Pele??? Sport? yes caught up in branding.....The Club has to meet the demands of the fans;Have you ever heard of Freuchie Cricket Club? Tell me where smaller clubs could 'up' their ground spec to the conditions health and safety imposed on them after Ibrox;after Hillborough? Not every ground has Harrods in the backyard like Craven Cottage or Delia dishing up dozens of millions and the best pies since Jeffrey Archer's Shepherds at the Canaries Club |
