funnily the level of need and care for their individual supporters works in an inverse way. The bigger the club the less they care about each individual fan. Your local 6th tier team will miss you much more if you don’t come and support them than a big team like Man U, who have people lining up around the block for tickets most weeks.

At my local club in the 8th or 9th tier, I’m one of the boys, with mates who know my name, and people ask me where I was if I miss a few games in a row. At an Arsenal game, I’m just another face in the massive crowd and I wouldn’t be missed if I’m there or not.

Not having a cry, that’s just the way it is
