When you look at Anfield and surroundings it reminds me so much of Maine Road in many ways. Both fan bases should in theory share a fairly common grounding as working class, northern footballing supporters.
It's staggering how far apart fan bases become. I personally find myself with far more in common with a Bury fan, than I do most Liverpool fans (there are some decent ones about, but they tend not to pop up on the internet too often). The world of football that they live in is so far removed from normality, it's staggering.
I know recently we've become exceptional in our circumstances, but as a fanbase, on the whole, we know we're bloody lucky, and we know fortunes ebb and flow and nothing lasts forever, but so many Liverpool fans struggle with change.
