I think this might give interesting results. For example I reckon most Villa fans I know are around 25 and started following Villa during the Big Ron tenure when Stan, Houghton, Townsend and McGrath were in the squad.

I've often thought that age could effect how Pool fans view Rafa and their expectation of the club and him. I grew up supporting a Liverpool side that didn't really win much (League Cup in 1995 was the only throphy for the first 7 years or so of me supporting them).

I often think that Rafa doubters may be much younger fans and/or Istanbul bandwagoners, or perhaps older fans who experienced the golden days of the 80s.

Been supporting them since I was 9, when my favourite player at the time, Emile Heskey, moved there from Leicester City

Liverpool 18%
Arsenal 11.8%
Chelsea 7.5%
Leeds 6.8% (Fair Play!)
Villa 5% (Ahead of Spurs and Everton MON would be happy)
Spurs 4.4%
Everton 3.1%
Newcastle 3.1%
QPR 1.8% (What?)
Man City 1.8% (Will be interesting to see if this takes off!)
Notts Forest 1.3%
Norwich 1.3%
Preston 1.3% (The oldest posters on boards!)

Yeah I did a big survey on it about a year ago. Haven't the time to go dig it out.

Here's the thread from 18 months ago that I was talking about -
