Come on all you “United fans” – lets be ‘avin you!
March 9, 2009
I would not say that I am a Manchester United supporter by any stretch of the imagination. Pretty much anywhere you go in the country you will see people with the famous red shirts on complete with names and numbers on the back, who state that they support the Old Trafford outfit. The question which we all have to ask is how do you define “support”.
United are said to have the largest fan base in the world and there is no doubt that they are a massive global brand. However, does the fact that you have bought their latest shirt and occasionally watch them on Sky make you a “supporter”.
The reason I am bringing this up is that too many people say that they support successful teams and as a result consciously ignore their local teams as a result. If you look in the Manchester vicinity for example, you will see many teams, both league and non league who are struggling to find people to come through their turnstiles.
How many of these people are choosing to watch Soccer Saturday instead? In my mind they should take a hard look at themselves and consider the joys of live football in their local area. Watch United on the television for sure – but not at the expense of your local side who really do need you!
