Working Class / Left wing football clubs?

Scroll to see replies

I never understand why identifying with Irish culture makes you left wing, surely the two things would exist along a different spectrum and this is especially true given that Anglo culture is far more liberal than Irish culture which is generally quite conservative.

It's like saying Hamas is more left wing than Israel even though Tel Aviv pride is a thing but Gaza strip pride isn't.

Finally!!! Rangers come from Glasgow, Scotland, a fierce left wing stronghold!!!
Their supporters usually vote Labour, for God's sake!.
Put an end to this Celtic obsession!!!!!!!

Interested to see which football fan bases are a combination of working class in status and left wing in political allegiance, particularly ones that don’t come to mind immediately, e.g Feyenoord.

Feyenoord was long ago the club with working class status. They won the Europacup I in 1969/1970. Nowadays that status is completely gone.

Besiktas is most progressive, human rights defender, and leftist club. Çarşı(Besiktas's fan club) is joining most protest and political action. This fan base is rarely thing in Turkey. Because Turkey is very conservative and right wing country since 1980s

Arsenal have to be the most left wing club. Islington is a hotbed of evil left wing ideology. Starmer and Corbyn and all those bad people are fans of the Gooners. But we cannot blame the club they just happen to attract a bad crowd maybe due to location
