Quote cpfccolin at 09 Apr 2014 6.07pm You will not see any Africans at football matches because they like to buy thinks CHEAP. What a ridiculous generalisation. Even if your limited exposure in the Abbey Wood area gives you this impression, to extrapolate this to 'any Africans' is nonsense. I'm hoping you were on a wind-up and not this narrow-minded.

The sense of belonging and loyalty doesn’t translate well to people outside of that culture in this day and age. The club’s ‘Born in South London’ campaign was pretty good and aimed at inner London youth but to be honest, to most black kids, being an Arsenal fan will always be easier, cheaper, cooler and more enjoyable. How do you compete with that? go back to handing tickets out to the local schools, get incvolved with the local area more and genreally being a higher profile, more successful club. NOW is the time the club should be capitalising on all of this. these kids are tomorrows fans no matter what bloody colour they are Cheaper?! Have you seen their season ticket prices? But you can watch 20 Arsenal games a year on TV. Yep, that's what I mean. Actually going to games is unlikely to appeal to them in all honesty. But why though? Are some put off by large groups of white people? Is it pub culture they do not like? Or is it the cost? If only they tried it we can all guarantee they will be hooked! Getting them hooked whilst young at school is the way forward. Give over loool "Large groups of White men in a pub" The answer is far more simple. Black lads round Croydon all stick together in there groups usually. One supports Arsenal, the other lot decide Arsenal, one will go against the tide and support Palace and the rest will be UTD. Its not just Ethic youngsters who are not supporting Palace anyway. There are white lads deciding to support Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, UTD ETC. I live in what is considered to be a West Ham area, but everyone supports Arsenal and UTD.
