A lot of clubs originally had a religious side to them as well.

Look at Scotland,

Dundee - Protestant

Dundee United - Catholic

Hearts - Protestant

Hibs - Catholic

Rangers - Protestant

Celtic - Catholic


Six teams who are cheek by jowl alongside each other in three cities.

What do you expect?

Tribal is another excuse for rough! You don’t get yobs who go to tennis or rugby like you do football. There’s more shop lifting in Asda than say Waitrose. There’s more crime in rougher areas than affluent areas. Schools will be better and self selecting in affluent areas than rougher areas.

Don’t mean to sound a snob but it’s true. Demographics are what makes marketing go round. Respect comes from the parents or should do!!
