I think it's sad that local working class people are priced out of attending games. I disagree that outsiders make the atmosphere worse though. I'm from cumbria and would contribute to the atmosphere as much as anyone.
yes I fully understand this point, there are many people from all over the place that make a special atmosphere, my point is the atmosphere I think we all mean is the same one that was created on all the old black and white Kop pictures on the telly like the one there the Kop was singing the old Beatles songs. That atmosphere is the one am talking about and the one that became famous around the world and that was like that because of local fans and there sense of humour and way of life, it came out when we went the match, this can't be replicated because locals have gone and supporters have changed unfortunately...
