Did anyone read how Cambridge United, really nice little club working its way back into the league real sense of community, are preparing for Man Utd in the Cup?
Considerably raised their ticket prices for the game, and even making the turnstile operators pay for a ticket when they usually get in for free. A few have chucked it in disgust at this.
The club are selling a halfnhalf scarf anarl.

Funny how you defend it every time I point out an example of Allam taking freebies away from whatever group takes his fancy at the time. Recent paycuts at the KC? Presumably that'll be justifiable in some way.

This thread is full of the same ****s who normally say "If you don't like it **** off" now telling people not to go and support another club. It's laughable. Basically we're just fans so keep giving your money and don't complain.

Oh you misunderstand us I think, as usual.

If you fancy supporting United, go for it, just stop claiming to be a City fan. One or the other. Not both. Only ****ers have 2 teams.

Also as they climb higher and higher, don't come on here whinging the prices are going up or that you've got to pay for a season ticket after being given one for free or that the Chairman doesn't personally shake your hand each game and fluffs your cushion up for you.

Says who? There's a difference between being a fan and a supporter. Why can't you follow another club? Because of my uni friends, I know look out for the results of other clubs, should I stop doing that as well, just incase it somehow clashes with my City supporting activities?

For a start off there isn't a difference between a fan and a supporter. The terms are interchangeable.
I am a a City fan. I am a City supporter.
I have always looked out for Hearts results since the early 1960s because I liked their badge. But I don't go,watch them. Which means I don't give them any support. Which means I am not fanatical and therefore not a fan.

Well I consider myself a City fan, I go to the games, I have done for a long time (relative to my age anyway) and I'm a fan of the club as a whole. However, I go to Hull United and North Ferriby games and want them to win, same as if I go watch South Cave or Beverley Town. I'll support those sides and cheer them on to win, also happy in the knowledge that the money I paid for a beverage, a programme and a ticket is helping a grassroots club establish, another kind of support. In my eyes you can be a fan of only one team, but you can pledge your support to other clubs (obviously how much of a twat that makes you is relative to which club it is) without harm, it doesn't make me any less of a City fan, I'll never go anywhere else over City unless I've got a very, very good reason. Support isn't the same as 'pledging alliegence' in my opinion, that's what fandom is all about. Funnily enough, a unit in my degree was called Audiences and Fandom, there is almost certainly a difference. I'm not just pulling this out my arse.

Who gives a **** how many clubs you support/are a fan of. Exactly how is this hindering your ability to support / be a fan of a certain team?

This nonsense about not being allowed to pledge allegiance to more than one club is just ridiculous.

Why does it bother anyone?

That means a lot of long standing supporters are looking for something else to do to replace their football fix.

How many buy tickets and simply could not afford to purchase a season pass?
Season ticket sales down by 3000? Average attendance down by 900! Will we see that by the end of the season ticket sales are about the same?

Would it ever be acceptable for a Man United fan to support Man City?

I think you're missing the point here, we aren't talking about supporting rivals/changing support or even supporting 2 teams in the same league, but anyway...

Under whose rules would it be deemed unacceptable? OK the general consensus is that you pick/are given a team and stick with them through thick and thin. But who are we to dictate how someone should enjoy football?

But at the end of the day, football is many things to many different people, some see football as bragging rights, some see it in a religious sort of sense, some see it as a chance to relieve some stress/have fun after a hard week at work, some see it as entertainment/enjoyment, etc.
