What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love. Sir Bobby Robson.
Hard to say these days with the Premier League, foreign owners, foreign managers and foreign players, it's a bit like supporting a corporation like McDonalds or Apple I suppose.
Or the pride in someone else's city in the case of many glory hunting fans. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
It's love and pride. It gives a sense of family of history of belonging. It maps the contours of your life. It provides happiness and sadness joy and despair. It's a meaningless thing that can mean everything.
