its not new fans i, and i suspect others have a problem with. to me being a city fan is a great personality trait, one devoid of arrogance and expectance and thriving on every situation in life, expecting the unexpected('typical city' a perfect example.) regardless of when any said person starts supporting city, they are making a choice of not only a football club but adding a whole new dimension entirely to your personality. in contrast to the other choice of choosing the rags who lets face it, are as it stands guaranteed at least one trophy a season, decent cup runs and very little defeat. it would be the easy option by far, as even the most tactically unaware 'fan' can hide behind the brash, safety in numbers policy the rags have adopted. so i for one welcome any new fan for standing up to the perceived order of things. okay, so they haven't been through the hard times like most of us but as sure as i know city, there are bound to be bumps on the road to success. what i can't be doing with is masses of 'blues' coming out of the woodwork after we win something, wearing their shirts like they're proud. i've been a blue since birth and been loud and proud about the fact, getting alot of stick along the way as you can imagine, so i ALWAYS notice a city top/car/tat when i see one. unfortunately i've seen about 60% more lately and these are the fans i worry about personally, rather have somebody who was oblivious to the dark times rather than somebody who put their head down and chose to ignore them.
