After the UK most of our visitors come from Pakistan 9.8% which is a surprise to me to be honest

The Alexa stats are completely inaccurate, in pretty much every respect. In fact, I'll give a prize (not sure what yet) to anyone who can name the top ten countries our traffic comes from, in the correct order. There's a challenge for you.

To help you on your way, 78% of the traffic comes from the UK (I could break it down city by city if I could be arsed).

Back to the original question, personally I think Bluemoon doesn't really reflect our matchgoing support in terms of actual demographics, but I think there's a sizeable enough number of people on here that it gives you a decent feel of what the fans are thinking.

Obviously on particular issues it can be miles out, but generally you get a feel for the zeitgeist of the club. In fact, using that phrase probably alienates this site from about 87.6% of match going blues...

In terms of correct positions, you got 1/10. But you got 7/10 countries correct.

I'd say about 50/50.

At Valencia/Villareal I met about 30 blues who's name I knew and could strike up a reasonable conversation with. Know enough to ask about work, family, mutual friends etc.

There was 3 or 4 who I know from outside BM and from being on BM.
The rest was a pretty even split.
Although its easy to say "Hello Sue" to "Bluebird1" with her name on the shirt and identify "Ric" when he's dragging "De Niro" to his feet after a drunken stumble (BEFORE EVEN GETTING ON THE COACH).

On here, there's probably a bit of knee jerk, because it's open to shit-stirrers, interlopers, rags etc.

You'd have to be pretty grim to pay good money, to come out with similar shite opinions in person at the ground.

Nope. Some good stuff on here but overstocked with herberts claiming to be king of all City fans based on how many posts they've got/when they joined/how blue their underpants are

brilliant haha.

The Munich I'll give you but not the mancini bit, whilst some were disgruntled there was 2 or 3 tops on here wanted him sacked.

Considering how different our away fans is to our home fans I'm tempted to ask, reflect which support?

It seems more likely that Bluemoon would reflect our away fans but Blluemoon has never been as pro Mancini as the away fans. Perhaps its basically the away fans mixed in with the younger fans that cant get to away matches?
