Was having this discussion on the train back from Manchester on Saturday...
If we had moved to Stratford (let's say without the running track) and a phoenix club (FC Hotspur) based in Tottenham had been formed starting right at the bottom of the pyramid, which club would you have followed?
For me, FC Hotspur. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted we didn't get the OS and can continue as THFC in Tottenham (best thing that's ever happened), BUT as well as the fact that I could not follow an East London club, I can actually see the attraction of being a small club of proper, hardcore supporters away from all the trappings of modern football. FC United of Manchester fans look like they have more fun than most of the home supporters looked like they were doing at a soulless Old Trafford on Sat.
Interested in opinions...
