Of course every club has its own culture, and its own attitude. For example, the culture at Leeds is (imo) aggressive, whereas the culture at Fulham (imo) is much more welcoming and friendly. The culture of a club is the sum of the collective experience of those connected, built up over the years and moulded by the amount of success (and failure), its heroes, its sense of where it stands in the game, etc etc.

No are you? You just stated that ''all'' fans want the same thing, I would say that every club and every fan base have a different culture, however subtle. To simply say all fans are the same and want the same things is shite.

Agree, for a lot involved in football it is simply a job, career, stepping stone with no real affinity. However, some do have a connection even though not being fans or from the area, e.g. Hurley, Quinn, Ball.

Agree. To many people think that their club is different and in some way more special. It's not.

But what has made our club stand out has been the low expectations. A culture that was wrong on so many levels. And it was confirmed by the new owners - we've been a place to come and take the piss!

OK, so why do we support a certain club and not any other? If all clubs and fans are the same how come I don't just go and watch Forest?

Because we are born in Sunderland you balloon. Did you think fans sit down, jot down their own characteristics, study the history and traditions of each club and then see which one is a best fit?

We like players who put a shift in, get stuck in, attack, and win games. Like everyone else.

You just contradicted yourself completely there. Success and failure has a hell of a lot to do with having the right culture, both internally and externally. To say all clubs are the same is plain bullshit.

Myself and many others weren't born in Sunderland. I was born in County Durham and support the club because my mother brain washed me as a kid (thank fuck). Like I said and you haven't answered, if all clubs are the same then there is nothing to differentiate one from another. I for one think this is bollocks.
