I may be being totally daft with this comment, but I just dont understand why fan groups feel the need to use their love of football and a particular team to try and push a political agenda. Why does any fan group need a political manifesto? Forgive me if I'm wrong but from what I understand, the "ultras" fans from left and right wing groups are associated with the worst of the football hooliganism across the world, right? Flares at games, violence in the stands, attacks on other fan groups pre and post game. Why would anyone want to associate with that?? Unless that is what the plan is?
To repeat from above:
I am not among the people who started T-AFC but I'm privy to their discussions and they are *certainly* not planning to taunt or fight other fans. One T-AFC founder said to me: "I would love to go to the football as a football person but even more as a group that also stands for things I believe in as well."
