It isnt like that for everyone. Doesnt mean I am more passionate or more devoted than others- it just means something a bit different.

To someone like Monty it probably does seem a bit weird. I suppose it is, in a way.
Oh, I agree. My grandad may have had season tickets since the 30s or 40s, but I stopped going perhaps 6 years ago. So any red member is a better fan than I.

But I just thought most people got the fandom passed down and hence they loved the institution before they had seen any players.
