Still, at least teams in La Liga have got their away followings to rely on

The Spanish are just as passionate about their football as we are, if not more

They're regularly only three-quarters full IIRC, which is ridiculous bearing in mind the success they have had and quality of football on show.

I noticed in London that those street vendors who sell Bobbies hats etc to tourists had more Barcelona/Messi shirts than Man U ones for sale.

If I were a Man U glory boy I'd switch pretty quick.

It's rarely packed to the rafters with handkerchief waving supporters, same as every other team. And you normally only need your two hands to count the Spanish away supports. Other than that m8, definitely more passionate about following their clubs

The likes of Macclesfield have better away support than Barcelona.

Is that not a cultural thing though? Same in Italy isn't it? They just don't generally travel to away games. Doesn't mean their home support isn't passionate.

Tbf I wouldn't call the Nou Camp initimid8ing because of it's home support (apart from the odd big occasion), more the size and history of the club itself. Don't get me wrong, they love their football, they're just not that good at showing it.

Nobody can match the British in following their team across the world.

You can normally get tickets to Barca or Real Madrid on the day - certainly did the latter in September.
