Seems there are also hundreds left standing at bus stops across England as well as their coaches haven’t turned up or drove by. Suggestion of an Everton supporters scam

I can't stand fake fans but I wouldn't wish that sort of trick on anyone , could be young kids heartbrokenQuote:

I think they're also derisively described as 'Window Lickers' by the locals up there due to their salivating at the first sight of Anfield, how sad.Quote:

You can subscribe to a thing called the "NFL Sunday Package" where you can watch any game you want. A lot of bars do it. And it's funny because you can see the ages of the little groups sitting at their tables and the Steelers fans will be from the 70s, 49ers and Dolphins fans from the 80s and then the Cowboys fans from the 90s, Packers fans from the 2000's etc. It's weird, you don't see many plastic Patriots fans. Most people hate them. Or did.Quote:

Woolybacks are the name my scouse mate at university used to give to outsiders hopping on the Liverpool bandwagonQuote:

There’s a bloke down my local who’s Liverpool this and Liverpool that buts he’s never seen them.
Can’t make it up.
My experience in the States is that college football is where the locals show there support. My friends / work colleagues are half way between Cincinnati & Columbus. They’re Ohio State Buckeyes fans rather than Bengals fans
I was raised in West Wales, 1hr10 from Swansea, another 40 mins on top of that from Cardiff. I was never exposed to them bar the scores coming up during the sports bit of the Welsh news. Man Utd though were on MOTD, sticker books, Match magazine, Shoot magazine etc so I supported them.
Saw the light when I moved here for uni in 2001 and started going to watch Cardiff and built a far stronger bond but life's too short to get upset about people who's support you don't approve of.
I draw the line at people from Cardigan calling themselves Scousers and Mancs though, especially if they then get all anti English during the Six Nations.
I also really hope that Everton bus scam isn't true because that is horrendously spiteful if it is
Probably watches them on tv though doesn't he?Quote:

The crowds are rowdy, they make plenty of noise. There's no segregation. No fighting.
How many away fans normally attend?Quote:
