Uh,...you weren't making the point clearly, but......anyway....... If what you're saying is true then these people aren't real supporters of the club at all. If it's just about "a beautiful city which is cheap to get too", then why don't they take a trip there this weekend, or sometime next summer, or ......you getting my point yet?
Translation: I ain't buying it. This is a sexy tie; one we don't normally find ourselves involved in which, of course; attracts all the part-time supporters like your 16 buddies.
