Have to say im with sme however i think it all depends where you are . Im
happy enough walking around town with my hoops on although usually when
going to a CSC etc.One thing i find strange about this debate is where i am
now it seems the ones without football shirts on are the neds! For instance
yesterday where i am is about 25 miles from central london and the only main
team we have is in Division 2 so not that many supporters about.The ones
wearing the football shirts that i saw yesterday were the 30 somethings
upwards but tended to be the usual mix of arsenal,chelsea and manchester
utd.However the neds were walking around with jeans no tops and usually some
kind of fighting style dog snarling whcih you could just about hear over the
noise of the 20 elizabeth duke chains he was wearing.
