Working class divide? - HibeesBounce.com

Now before someone points out that a Marxisim class society stucture no longer has relevence in todays Britain or pro's and con's of it, and i know it's probably been done to death, but with the on-going chat on the hibs page about if they take the terracing away some boys won't go back etc etc. Do you think that there is a somewhat romantic theme to working class leithers wanting to hang on to what fundamentaly makes them working class? and that the comfort they feel when surrounded by like minded people is what makes the east terracing so good. That mixing these people with sing when we're winning type characters may make for a amazing atmosphere or may kill it but will undoubtabley put people off on both sides of the fence??

Wouldn't limit it to "working class leithers". Would say however that every class/scene is cliched to fcuk.
