I took my Mum whos 82 to the Barrow game the other week. We were sat with a large group of 20 year oldish lads who as soon as the game started swearing and heckling the opposition players. Two minutes later they all started turning around and apologising to my Mum for swearing. She thought it was hysterical and sweet at the same time and didn't have an issue with it. as she said it shows they have passion for the club.
I think Dixies prawn sandwich comment is more at the sterile atmosphere you can get at Old Trafford with a good chunk of the seats going to corporate events, fair weather fans, glory hunters or people who don't really have passion for the game
