You just cant share the same passion as someone who was born in the city, brought up in it and probably now works in it. Im sorry its just not possible. The club is representing the people to me. This is not a dig as i think its a great thing that the club is a world wide one also.

My team is about my city. I love this place, always have, always will.
Said to me mate today how even if i move away this will always be home and if i ever did move away, no matter how much i loved what i'd moved to i'd still look forward to the day i could return here. To me the club is a massive part of this city. I am proud i'm from Liverpool, in my eyes its the greatest city in the world and ALWAYS will be.

i doubt it but i suppose there is another set of rules..
i hate using this as an example but look at the hillsborough pages and tell me you cannot be passionate about liverpoolfc if you dont live there

If liverpool folded tmrw I wouldnt follow football any longer, the only times I have cried over football is Hillsborough and when we lost to Arsenal final game of the season (and maybe when robbie left, rushie went too maybe also). Liverpool have remained a source of sancturary and love throughout the trials and tribulations of my life. Nobody can tell me what it means on the inside to me as each of our individual love for the club manifests itself in unique ways inside each of us.
Through my love of the club, which was first brought to me when my bro started at uni there in the late 80's, I hve learnt about the city , the people (and the awful stereotypes that surround both) I have also taken it upon myself to learn the History of teh city whilst i myself was at Uni. I respect the fans who live there too much to state that I could love the club as much as yourselves but Liverpool are well and truely in my heart always have been always will be. I love its tradition its history what it stands for and most of all I love the fact that no matter where we are in the league or how bad we are playing Liverpool provide a source of inspiration and hope that you would not find at any other club. I feel blessed to be a fan.
