Anybody actually going to the Zenit game tomorrow, or know anybody who's going? Gonna be a tough one, I would take a draw if offered, but will be cheering for a win obviously! Marko is it far from you ? Why don't you go ?

If we all love the club then we are all worthy fans. Arguably, you could say that the biggest fan is the one that loves the club the most but sadly that isn't quantifiable due to people's geography, personal circumstances and financial situations.
The people claiming to be the 'better' fans and who follow the club around europe are admittedly, bigger 'financial contributors' but not necessarily bigger fans. Otherwise, our biggest fan would have to be our biggest investor. Anyway, silly argument - can't believe it's still going strong.

Ok now I understand, but I am not a fan of another club but LFC, so does that make me a real fan in your eyes or is it only those having a season ticket that are real fans? but vish are you the same as me who has paid my due for 36 years gone all over europe and england following my club hail, rain or snow bunking off work etc etc etc No I cannot be a fan same as you as I don't live in Liverpool, not even in Europe, I have to fly for 12 hrs to get to London. However, that does not make me a fake fan, even if you say so. I'm not bothered. Can I just ask you a question Vish which will clear alot of things up for me regarding this subject and I am no way having a go at you or anybody else never mind questioning your support. I would just like to know why any person chooses to support a Club they have no way of being able to watch live. You see if I lived in a place I would want to support the Club I could see most weeks, travel with like minded fans to and from the match, have a drink before and after the game with them, stand or sit alongside friends shouting and bawling at the players, soaking up the match atmosphere, eating the stale pies and sausage rolls, not haha, well you can catch my drift, all this is taken away when you cant go to watch your team actualy play so I just dont get it, even worse if you say lived in the u.k. and you had a perfectly good club on your doorstep which you could have all the above if you supported them. Like I say I am in no way having a go at any fan I would just like somebody to help me understand what drives somebody to support a Club they will never probably see or when they can only attend a game once or twice a season, surely actualy going the game should make you want to support a Club close to where a person lives... Luckily we dont have to explain ourselves to you and whilst you may attend the games your negativity in no way helps the club. You attack the owners, the players, the manager and fellow fans at every turn.

Please don't do the OOT thing Cflames... not only is it wrong and discriminatory.... it's embarrassing to other Liverpool fans! I think it's a fair question and he did say was not judging. That was not an OTT question for me and I would be interested in the answer too. i agree stan its a fair question .

Like I say I am not questioning anybodies validity in supporting our great Club I just want to know what drives them into swapping a club they can actively take part in supporting to watching on the telly or Internet, it's a good fair question with no malice intended whatsoever...

Because football in NZ sucks basically!!! And I was into Liverpool before there was a Wellington Pheonix, so they won me over.
