i hope you find this question (and the answers) as interesting as i do. why do you support the club you do? this is especially if you don't actually live in that city. i'll start. my grandmother's family lived in manchester for a few years, and since i was a yankee fan, i thought it would be more fun to root for the underdog. hence, i'm a city fan.  (oasis didn't hurt too, btw.) |

My Dad took me to see a game for my tenth birthday, and I fell in love with the club there and then.

thankyou for the insight!!! It just gets to me when people call us a 'corporate' club. Feels like a smack in the face to every diehard United fan - as though everything that's made the club into what it is pales into insignificance because we happen to have decent business acumen and a worldwide fanbase. |

I used the term "like" and then used Man Utd purely as an example, because I don't classify you as the only corporate team in the league. Do you go to many games? |
