Personally I think there is too much nasal gazing in that article and that it conveniently ignores the differences between their situation and ours in order to prove a point.
In my opinion, comparisons between BHA protests and Man Utd protests are ridiculous.
Isn't that just the point Richie's making - comparing the two situations, you find they have bugger all in common and that Man Utd fans are over-dramatising things?
Very good read, btw.
