    What does that have to do with it? It won't stop you from making effort to learn yourself. Look at the transfers and read up on the stories surrounding them. Maybe start with Paul Ince.

    Accrington Stanley Milk FC, of course.

    Out of the estimated 10 million Man Utd "fans" worldwide, only 1.7% are actually from Manchester,
    source:http://www.peakdemand.co.uk/blog/facebook-advertising/manchester-united/
    I don't refer to the 98.3% as *proper* fans, they just follow the crowd.


    I support my local team Worcester City.

    Well how do you properly "support" a team if you live hundreds or thousands of miles away and never actually go to see them play?

    Same as thousands and miles living people love Hollywood movies and they have a favourite actor or actoress. Supporting a team means you like their game their approach. That is what I think

    It makes you a fan, not a supporter.

    FYI, having a favourite actor makes you gay and actress makes you a stalker. (It's a joke, by the way.)

    Fans are not supporters?

    A *fan* is the sort of person who buys a shirt and never actually go to a game, anyone can be a *fan*
    A supporter is someone who has a season ticket and actually goes to see the team play.
    So NO, a fan is NOT a supporter.

    I think this is called Perceptual Difference. I think I can support or become a fan of someone sitting thousands miles away from the team or the guy.

    So what do you do to support Manchester United? I would go as far to say (about football "supporters" in general) that some so-called football supporters who go to matches are in fact just fans, the ones who leave early because their team is losing, playing badly (in my view, to be a true supporter you need to stay there until the final whistle). I know that I am just a fan of football, a fan of England, etc. I watch matches on TV (purely because football to me is "the beautiful game") and don't really care which team it is. Unless it's an international, then of course I am waving Germany's flag. Joking, England all the way.

    Well, you can call me a so-called fan, I won't mind. But, it is not necessary to live there to be a fan
