Get used to it. Since the start of the Premier League every club has loads of the nu-footy fans.
Some good points from the local lads from Bury, Dubai, Cheadle, Portsmouth, London, Sale, Lancs, Co. Down, Baildon, and Notts etc, etc, etc.
Particularly liked this one from Chealde_Hulme Blue...maybe I know him
"its disgraceful that these plastic twats can get tickets and basically stop actual city fans from going. If this is the price of success then wtf !!!"
I love how mancini is blaming Clattenburg for gareth barry getting a one match suspension for using abusive language towards the ref
Did he not see when tevez kicked out at Jones?

Manchester United being the victims of players kicking out?
only a few years ago man city were in league one and had a decent firm that tried to match it with the bigger clubs. Got respect for those city fans who stuck by their club, that's what real fans do.
Unfrotunately, they now (like most premier league clubs) have to put up with out of town bandwagoners. man u have had it for years with people from stockport supporting them.
At least man city is closer to stockport than man u.

It would be great if clubs like Shitty could reward the fans who stuck by them all those years, but I guess in the end its their effort and pain that is in some what is being rewarded by their current local success. In the end its probably all those true fans could ever ask for (except maybe they would prefer a local owners but you can't have it all now can we!)
There's no point in rewarding loyal fans, they will be there until the day they cannot go to games any more, continually coughing up season ticket revenue, buying the new playing strips each season.

Might encourage the bandwagoners to become loyal fans too?

Most United fans picked either League Titles or FA Cups to pick their team as i'm sure most are'nt from the north west or even the UK..

Could prob say that about Bandwagon Man $$$hitty Supporters of today after ur Premiership win from last season and the FA Cup the 1 b4, or you think you have the same amount of support as b4 those Victories!!!!

WTF
Economically speaking the bloke makes sense. However, that's his problem he sees football as a statistic and numbers on a piece of paper. He'll never understand the passion of supporting a club.

exactly
although i live in australia, myself and many off my mates have broken the bank in order to see our team just once at their home stadium, you travel back a few times a year and see as many games as possible
real fans over there have season books, go to all the away games despite results and club issues
these are the people that should be rewarded, those that make the effort no matter where they are

So your saying that ppl that were born in the 70s and 80s n currently support liverpool are bandwagoners? Cause at that stage liverpool were the most successful club in England with the most league titles right?

Plenty jumped on the Liverpool bandwagon when they were the best team in Europe......(but most people back then appreciated Liverpools quality, and there supporters were tolerable!!! whereas you bandwagon jumping lot are not!!

I'm sure we've picked up a few supporters from our current position but not in huge numbers..most City fans have seen more bad times than good.....
unlike Rag supporters where the vast majority picked their team from the ladder or an FA Cup Final. It's the Aussie way isn't it??????
I'm sure there's a few that are family traditions or actually born in the old dart

Maybe playing good football for the best part of 3 decades might be a reason also, plus the days of following the closest team to where you live are long gone because EPL teams need as much revenue as they can get hence why they broaden their supporter base. All clubs welcome these bandwagon fans because they bring in the cash.
Football was always the working class mans sport, back in the early days the local
People supported their local club because they had nothing else to look forward to.there was
No tv replays of games etc, hence why people are so precious about their home town
Club and not so welcoming to out of town fans.
It's kind of passed on through the family.
I'm mates with Nicky T but boy do I give him cabernet about being from North London
And why he didn't follow Arsenal or Spurs.
I'm always amazed as to the lengths some foreign supporters will go to to prove their "worth"
To their chosen team.
The young boys said unto him....."go up baldhead, go up"......so he did, rose like a salmon and nodded the ball into the net......1 nil!
