even in the old days shankly's time fans came from outside liverpool we travelled 30 miles regularly back then to stand on the kop. so people from all over supporting liverpool is nothing new. and there were no cars in those days as well we went on the bus which took 2 to 3 hours Big deal. I've walked that far home after a night on the pi55!! then you should remember what time the pick up was. you try travelling 30 miles on public transport in 1968

just a little side post , a question is it just all about LFC its self as a football club , or do you reds who are not from the local area take an interest in the daily issues of the city , merseyside and the north west as well as the day to day issues of the football club .???? to be fair i am not from liverpool but in my experience i probably know more about the history of the city than most liverpool residents. i am sure you know faz but the average scouser below age 40 probably knows stuff all and they dont teach local history in schools to the x boc generation. fair enough stan and your right but i can only speak for myself and i would take an interest in a city or town if i supported the club from there , just my view on it .

Liverpool Football Club is going around making Twitter pages for different countries and regions , in different languages to increase their fan base , and there are some people who are saying that the fans who do not live in the city are not true fans , honestly that is very insulting and disgraceful. I think the love for LFC and the love for football is the most important thing , football unites people and does not segregate them by their nationality , race or religion. Exactly, the difference between Everton and Liverpool is the fan base. Even if Everton is having a better season than us, we will be better placed than then even in the short term because we have more resources thanks to the fan base. The global fan base attracts sponsors like Standard Chartered and allows the sale of more merchandise. I don't even understand the logic of comparing one fan to the other, what's the point?

For me, my interest is purely in Liverpool Football Club. Not the city, not everton, not tranmere, not the beatles, not cilla black, not stan boardman and certainly not anything political. I wouldn't read anything into that though. There will be many like me who are only ineterested in the football. There will be many who are interested in the football and the history. There will also be many interested in just the history and couldn't give a fig about the football.

Apparently anyone who watches the games at home on telly is not a real LFC fan or is less of a fan then some of the match going supporters. What are your guys thoughts on the matter? Do you make a distinction between the 2? Do yoe feel someone who watches the game from home, for whatever reason, be it financial, family, work related or pure choice, is less of a fan than the match going fans? No such thing as a real fan. Anyone who wants the best for the club/team is a fan regardless of where they were born, where they live and how many games they go to. The only difference is that fans at the game can comment on more off the ball stuff and the fans at home can comment more on close up things etc.

I don't even understand the logic of comparing one fan to the other, what's the point? so certain people can feel more special than they actually are.
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.
