However I think as things stand we're all pulling in the same direction so fans joining up has to be positive.
Totally agree that fans joining up is a good thing, but reading the earlier post something sprang to mind.

We had a situation at work (a very big work) and a very senior manager turned up to a shop floor meeting.
When asked by some to leave he replied "I'm a paying member of this union, I am entitled to be here"
Part of the meeting was discussing management shortcomings.
He stayed , and the meeting went on without too much trouble, but my feelings were , that because of his presence, numerous usually vociferous folk kept their mouths shut, and others didn't want to be seen to rock the boat.

Not the same thing I know, but that thought did flag up to me when I heard that Mark, Tony and Mickey were joining a supporters federation.

Probably reading far too much in to things and they are just genuinely trying to show support and not Big Brother keeping an eye on folk that didn't always sing from the same hymn sheet.
