    Boro fans

    Amazing support,

    4,000 at Spuds on Tuesday and 1,700 at the Fools last night, got me wondering, what does it take for a club to generate that passion and commitment. Something we sadly lack.

    Booooooooooooo

    It's a civic pride thing. They're representing their football club AND town..... Boro is an intrinsic part of their identity, culture and identity. If Scunthorpe got to cup final they'd suddenly have 20/30,000 fans making the trip - loads of those "fans" would be people who have possibly never been to Glanford Park but want to be part of a community celebratory event.
    Unfortunately, as a small London enclave we don't generate that tight attachment to Shepherds Bush. Most of us probably weren't born in The Bush or live there so do not have e geographic focal point that binds us together like provincial clubs do.

            what is this guff?

            I was up at Middlesboro the season we won the title. Adel spaked them off the park 4-0 I think. Souless stadium 1/4 full of inbreds and freaks.

            Yeh, love to be like Boro.

                  Said it once before and got pelters for it, but I stand by what I said.

                  Shepherds Bush is a complete Shoite hole and I'm glad I don't live anywhere near it.

                      Most of them probably live in the south after leaving that sh1te hole for a better life.
