When the geordies play in London very few will be that type of fan , they will be up at 5am from Newcastle Central

Hardcore , loyal support

It's not difficult to understand
By that logic people from Pontypridd who are Liverpool or Man United season ticket holders and travel a 7 hour round trip every home game should be applauded then?

The vast majority of match going Liverpool fans are from Liverpool. A die hard Liverpool supporter, from Livcerpool, is no different to a die hard Newcastle supporter from Newcastle, or a Carlisle fan from Carlisle.

Yes Liverpool have a global support too, it comes with being succesful in the 70s and 80s as football started reaching a wider audience, but to suggest that their core match going support is not from the city of Liverpool is ludicrous. Most Premier League clubs these days, the larger more established ones - including your Newcastle and Villas - have an element of support outside of the city and plenty of tourists too.

And on the subject of support, Liverpool supporters were 100% the proverbial 12th man on Sunday. NQAT.
