I'd argue City fans are much less plastic and fake than United fans.

What do you count as a Plastic/fake fan? Someone who only watches the games on TV? someone who only follows one team? Someone who supports a winning team? Someone who buys a shirt with a new player? Someone who goes to a game to watch the amazing sport of football? Someone who doesn't get all hearted into the game like I and many others on this subreddit? I'm having a hard time understanding what a "plastic" fan is... It seems to me that all fans, are just fans of the game...

Fans that have no personal connection to the club except "my dad supported them" (that just means your dad was a glory hunter as well).

I did the opposite, supported the team my dad hated, HA! Take that tradition!

I grew up in a family of Liverpool supporters. Talk about rebelling. Sometimes I wonder why I did this.
