being a supporter/fan comes in many different forms. I had a season ticket for 23 years from 72/73 onwards. My physical attendance at Anfield now is nothing to write home about but that doesn't mean my devotion, desire or sense of need to associate is less; in fact it's more.
football clubs are truly, at heart, about clans. it's us, fans, that are the consistent thread. we retain, continue, support, exist as THE CLUB. Come Chinese ownership or anything else. for however many years only 'fan-dom' is on-going; not ownership, managers or players. We are tradition, flavour and future. We are religion, atheism and belief; factory-floor, dock-workker, white collar and more. We care about many things but one thing we share; LFC and it's soul.....
Don't forget the reason we love this CLUB; we set standards, we're loyal, we're do it right, we give not one toss about others. We are bound together. Sometimes we win and sometimes we suffer, but we don't lose and we don't bow down. We sing and we have Istanbul to remind us what "at the end of the storm...." means......
Ticket / no-ticket; support thr club that BELONGS to you !!!

why is that this topic keeps getting raised here?
I've been a liverpool fan for 30 years and have never been to anfield nor stepped in Liverpool. So what??? Does that mean i love the club any less?
If the Liverpool fans in Liverpool who want Liverpool to only belong to them, that's just tough luck because Liverpool is a global brand. Just deal with it and be thankful that there is someone on the other side of the world that loves and cares about something that you get to see day in day out.

fair enough plenty of you have made your feelings clear you dont agree with my point of view, thats fine I have no problem with that as it's a forum where people can air the views wether people agree with them or not. What I do want to know is the answer to the question I asked before, if fans supported a club just because it was famous or successful like so many of our gloryhunting fans do where would that leave clubs like Southampton, Brighton, Hartlepool United and Burnley's of this world. A clubs identity is born out of where it comes from, the things that made Liverpool fans famous throughout the world was there scouse mentality and humour and this sadly has ebbed away over the years, this is why I say the club has lost it's identit. I have said previously that I think out of towners and foreign fans play an important part in the club but for me it has swung too far and the locals are now in a minority, for me, just think it's very sad.

Dasil, my drunken point was the same as yours; you don't have to step foot in the ground or the city to 'get it', what it means to be a true fan.
Ticket or no ticket, attendance or not, we fans are all part of the important element that makes a club. It's not just about the 44 thousand that fit into the stadium - that's just a bonus.
I'm NOT one of the ones who gets to see it day in, day out. Which was why I wrote what I did. Which was a bit off topic anyway - Like I say, drunk.
So, Huang. What's the latest ?
