Like a glove!
like 75% of my school supports man utd. The other 29% supporting spurs and arsenal. And 1% other.
75 + 29 + 1 = 105%

I sort of see where you're coming from, but like me (I live in Wales if you didn't already know) it's very hard to go see Arsenal every week. I'm on a comfortable wage and can afford to go, probably every game if you just count the ticket and ride up, but because I live 200+ miles away and work every other weekend (******* contract) I can't go, but I'm still as loyal as any season ticket holder.
That wasn't having a go at you btw, just harder for some people to get to games who can afford it than others.
To be a true fan you should support your local team!
that theory is a pile of *****. thats all i will sayHad a convo on a facebook status last night with Sam Charnock's friends and i found their views quite bigoted. They seemed to suggest the exact theory that i am against, one guy stated that because his kids attend games regularly and have been to over 30 stadiums that they are the best fans around and that if you dont attend games you cannot call yourself a true supporter. I want to know what people think of this and if they agree with this theory.

Will not post my views on this because it is likely I will be slated.
I think as long as you have a good excuse, going to games week-in-week-out isn't that important. However, fans who are within a realistic distance (as long as they're not completely broke) should go to every game. Sunderland, for example, have about 15,000 fans watching us from a pub or online via crappy foreign channels and streams, which is completely unacceptable in my opinion.
Some people have families and have better things to spend their money on. Why should all of someones hard earned money go toward a football team?Agree with this 100%
And to expand on what I normally say, I understand if your're living in America and can't get to games Joe, I suspect you have a good reason for supporting City, and an even better one for not going too games.
But the reason I get annoyed on Facebook about City/United fans not going to games, is because they live in Stockport, which is a 10 minute train ride to Manchester for less than £10, aren't tickets £10 also for under 16's at City? That's £20 for a few games for the team they supposedly love, I've paid alot more, and I support the worst team in the Football League. Same with United fans, I know it's harder to get too tickets for United games, but come on, they've got Crawley Town at home this weekend, how much a bet they didn't even attempt to get to that game, also I have a mate who was asked if he was going to Southampton away, he replied "Am I heck, **** that lol." - Also another of my mates who supports Leeds, I asked him if he would go to Wembley if Leeds got there - Nah, I'd rather chill at home with a beer." He does not support his club.
I know they're aren't alot of people from Stockport on here, but for County fans it's so frustrating, when we doing well 2/3 years ago we were getting crowds of 7,000, and now we're not doing so well we're back down to 3,000 and we need approx 5,000 to breakeven, and if these glory hunters round Stockport would get down and not making up ***** excuses (such as I support [***] team because my dad does, that's bollocks, support who you want imo.") We'd get more money from tickets, and we wouldn't of been in admin last season and be in a higher division.
Alot of people on here support the Liverpools/United/City/Arsenal and I don't get into arguments about that because I don't know how hard it is to get down there because you might live miles away, but if I was a United fan living in Stockport I'd definitley try, save up money, email the club to reserve tickets etc.
