Re: MCFC buy Melbourne Heart FC (merged)
Well that's fine. Let's be honest here, once the immediate press hubbub has died down then, if you don't seek out the Melbourne Heart news yourself, you're going to hear about them maybe once or twice a year. No-one is forcing you to start buying their shirts and learning their players. If you don't want to be that involved, then just don't be, and I'm pretty sure you'll find that it makes no difference at all to your MCFC fandom. It's not like, when we made that big sponsorship/ground sharing (EDS level) deal with Hyde, that we all had to start supporting them, is it?
ChesterRdBlue said:Hmmm, it's all a bit strange this. It seems it's just me and maybe I'm struggling with seeing City in a different way to the traditional view of a football club and it's supporters, but I couldn't care less for Melbourne Heart or New York City FC, I have only ever supported one football team and that is Manchester City. I do not support a brand, but a football club who l have had a lifelong connection to through family and locality.
