After reading this at length and studying all the information you collated on united fans i can only assume your percentages are a little offset.
You should have gone more 99% sour grapes 1% serious point.

I don't think the Beries have any newly-discovered fans.

The club is finding it hard enough to mobilise the ones who have been moaning about United winning everything over the last 25 years.

Did the said fans have London accents or Mancunian ones?

our much-loved game that ran pretty well, and more fairly, before the Premier League era

............................

You do know that the poorer clubs have benefited far more since the PL era don't you?

Think how bad it would be for you spuds if teams like Arsenal and United could negotiate our own TV Deals.

The day clubs can do there own TV, like in Spain - any point of calling it a "league" is over.

PS - I have a lot of respect for Uninted. But bored now... time for them to have a run of bad luck.

apart from Clubs and authorities treating fans like cattle and not customers.

its ok we are not sensitive like arsenal fans, that comment is mildly annoying at best

33.3% support Man U because they love football.
The other 66.6% support Man U because they love rich winners, and appear to know little or care nothing for football.

==============

What about the remaining 0.1%?

DON'T THEY HAVE A SAY?

Spuds fans 100% bitter

I started supporting United before the PL was founded, and am not from Manchester (or London for that matter) where does that put me?

I prefer Lager

Just so I get this straight, we spend barely any money for a few years after taking a record breaking sum of money in for ronaldo...

This is evidence we are bankrupt, in huge debt, have no money. This season we actually spend a little bit of money and now we are huge spenders and rich...

Crazy as it may seem... maybe we are on a bit of a middle ground between the two...

And on special occasions I like drinking Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain

Its the same everywhere, people support teams for different reasons, i for one see no problem in so called "glory hunting" as they support the team as much as the so called "real fans".

What about the huge number of 'United Fans' that have never even been to a game? How can you say they're supporters? A few of them are good mates of mine, but I make my feelings perfectly clear when they claim they support Utd as much as I do Spurs. I go to WHL every other week, camped for 12+14 hours for AC Milan and Real Madrid on the cold streets of North London. They are yet to even visit Manchester on a day out.

I hate said Utd fans.

I was born in York, but both my parents were from Manchester and moved to York for Dads work, My Dad is a big Utd fan and I followed him, I now live back in Manchester. am I a glory hunter.
Should I support York or Leeds?

People with vast amounts of money to spend going to see their side are much better fans than those who can't afford to or are unable to go, regardless of dedication, knowledge and love for the game/club...

But where is the rule book on being a fan? Where does it state you have to attend a match? That's just your opinion. Just because someone doesn’t go to a game doesn’t make them any less of a fan. We have thousands of fans in Asia, getting up at stupid O'clock to watch games, and no doubt spending over the odds to get merchandise sent over there.

They're as much a supporter as me IMO.

This "I go to games so am far holier than yow" is BS...

Attending games live, for the most part, these days is excrement anyway. Over priced, and the atmosphere has been thwarted by women, children, and corporate pageantry.
