To be fair this isn’t just about them “losing” fans have been protesting about the direction of the club since the Glazers took over even when they were winning league titles and Ferguson was still involved. It’s about a lot more than just losing AF and not winning the league anymore Edit: for clarity - these actions are completely out of order, Im not condoning them Yeah, that's very true - although wasn't he in a different role at that point?

That’s why Man United are one of the biggest supported clubs in the world, as opposed to say..Bristol Rovers Yeh, but I’m just open to the possibility that lots of Man Utd and Liverpool fans were born in Manchester and Liverpool - their fans are always portrayed as being from anywhere but those two cities - it simply isn’t true ...

In 2019 Greater Manchester had a population of 2.8 million. If (and we know this isn't the case) every single one of those people living in Greater Manchester supported Manchester United they would equal less than half a percent of their total fanbase.

You really believe that? “Tenths of a percent” ?! So you think 0.1% of Man Utd’s and Liverpool’s fans who attend games are from Manchester and Liverpool?!

No one has said otherwise to that. Someone else made a point that 99% of Man Utd fans are plastic and you said that wasnt the case. I illustrated how 99% would be a rounded down, but otherwise accurate amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can add surrounding areas too which makes that more. But then there's other clubs in those areas and also not everyone likes football. Liverpool have over 100 million supporters. So yes, a tiny percentage are from Liverpool or surrounding areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
