Objectively, I can see plenty of people replying to my posts either asking questions or trying to rile me. Not seeing anything like that in return. Than in itself might rile people, but it's not the intent. The intent is, as it always was, to see what fans of another club think about something.
Get a map and draw a circle around Newcastle. Call this A.
Draw a slightly larger circle around A and call this B.
Class everywhere else as C.
Fans in A will have a predominantly positive and strongly biased view in favour of Newcastle Utd.
Fans in B will have pockets of predominantly negative and strongly biased views against Newcastle Utd due to local rival proximity.
There will of course be individuals that will stand contrary to these narrow terms but asking for the views of a group as widely defined as "fans of another club" will negate this small percentage.
Fans in C will not really be that arsed but will generally have a negative view of Newcastle's most famous contribution to football - punching horses.
