89 was more about Manchester, neither club was good, the city was alive and it was some night out after! It's about global TV audience now. Went to gladbach last year, it was really good for a Euro trip.

I found the late 70's early 80's defined me as a City fan, young scrote, love Euro always but would have to rob a bank to do one at the minute, anyway Rascal always leads me astray ;-)89 was more about Manchester, neither club was good, the city was alive and it was some night out after!

I suppose I see it as a commodity, overwhelmingly commercialised and marketed for global consumption. That is what the PL is about so fair enough and that's how it is. It seems to be losing its subcultural identity as this happens.Sorry to butt in but what do you mean it's product?
It's not a criticism, it's just the way I feel about it. As I say, it's still the derby and still great stuff, but I guess it isn't what I grew up loving, and I can't love it quite as much the way it is now.
I think that, eventually, all subcultures are robbed and commercialised and sold back as product to much larger markets.
I liken it to being able to buy a super-deluxe edition of the Sex Pistols album 40 years on for £50. Or a posh Belstaff jacket for £400. Or the return of vinyl records. The list is endless.

I suppose fans wearing half and half scarfs backs up your theory. I see your point. It's definitely been watered down a great deal. And of course football is all about money now. Old skool fans are being outnumbered by the modern fan.I suppose I see it as a commodity, overwhelmingly commercialised and marketed for global consumption.

It's the inevitable passage of time. I wonder how many in the stadium now experienced standing in the middle of the Kippax, and how many would actually want to?

What do you think the public think of that cum guzzling chuckle you do when saying something you think sounds funny and creepy about the rags?
