'Plastic' fans?

Re: 'Plastic' fans?

Not so much local pride nowadays perhaps. Would football have died on its arse if fans of the other 11 decided to be Preston fans in 1888 after they won the League without losing a game and the FA Cup without conceding a goal?

When we were in the top flight it was difficult to grasp that a Cardiff born & bred person would want his home town club to lose against a team a few hundred miles away. As I said, perhaps local pride takes second place to being remotely associated with success nowadays.

Re: 'Plastic' fans?

I am a Cardiff City fan since I first visited Ninian Park with my grandfather who was disabled and used to go in the corner of the ground under the old golden Goal Sign, As soon as Toshack left and went to Liverpool I started following them which i believe was 1970 and to this day get called a plastic fan of theirs even though ive had a season ticket for years down the City !!!

Cardiff is my first: Malmö FF are my second as i live in MalmÖ. Maybe i should switch as MFF are constantly in Europe.

Visited Malmo a couple of summers ago, hired a car & drove around the coast & then to Vaxjo (our son was based there at the time). Remember eating in a bar called Paddys. Emptied my wallet pretty quick, tiz not cheap!

Man U fans sing their old songs at away games, they think it makes them more ‘authentic’ I suppose.

Funny how there are countless plastic fans supporting Man United and Liverpool, yet you don’t see nearly as many for Brighton or Brentford.

Although, that might change in time.

Fabulous city Malmo. I saw Ibrahimovic play for them years ago in the second tier.

I was probably there as a season ticket holder.
