I'm not sure it even needs testing UTM tbh, some will already know from their visits to other sites. Personally I don't doubt it's the same or very similar up and down the country and the vast majority of clubs. People are quicker to criticise than praise.

My longstanding point and opinion is it would be foolish to believe the views and opinions displayed on football message boards accurately reflects the views of the overall fanbase. Hence #viva

As highlighted above message boards have a clear negative bias , and let's just say online you see more extreme views in that regard.

Obviously not everyone shares this view and a surprising high number (to me) seem to think NCM et al are reflective.

This has been my strong belief for a very long time now having signed up to NCM about 20 years ago. I just can't be bothered to write it every time it's evident on here so instead a simple hashtag does the trick.
