Quote: The optimist "I Just cant see the point in paying £20 and just sitting on your hands, thats all if i wanted to do that id stay in the pub, the problem is if i started to sing salford songs in the pub by myself ill look odd so from now on as long as im having fun i dont care how we go on and thats how im dealing with where the remains of "my salford" is now.'"


But you spend £23 to sit on your hands on Friday icon_confused.gif:

Well, we could go back to the club's early years when they nearly got relegated to the third tier of English football if you want to get technical. However, aside from that, the only time United have ever dominated was the '90s onwards. United were getting higher attendances at Maine Road than city during their brief stay there and they won one trophy in that time.

And as for expecting success and the like, we went 26 years thinking we were never going to win the title. Hardly a case of turning up and thinking something would turn us around eventually.

It's a moot point, anyway. Success has nothing to do with the level of support. City have been turd for 34 years now and even when they were down in the third division they had a fairly large following. Difference being they thought the way to support a team was inflatable bananas and the like... That's the difference, they 'ballooned', United just got on with supporting the team.

This is the point I'm trying to make. You don't have to act like a loon, you don't have to jump around and you don't have to deliberately try to have fun to get behind the team. It works just as well with people, as you put it, "standing looking cool" but singing at the same time. That Red Army chant at Warrington was good, but did jumping around like a tw*t at the same time really add anything to it? Of course not.

You don't have to 'balloon' to support the team. That is all.

I feel like I'm going around in circles now, so I'll leave it.

PS - It's tête-à-tête. icon_wink.gif

But we did win FA cups, League Cups and European cup winners cups during that period so its not exactly a barron period where fans didnt experience the joys of winning big trophies

I know, I know, this is my final post, I promise...

Quote: The optimist "But we did win FA cups, League Cups and European cup winners cups during that period so its not exactly a barron period where fans didnt experience the joys of winning big trophies '"


So what you're actually saying is that success is the only thing that bouys supporters? That United's support wouldn't have been as good without success? That without success they would have had to have 'ballooned'?

Give over.
