Surely you've met people like that in real life? You walk into a remote pub, previously seldom visited by outsiders. Suddenly something changes and the area becomes a top attraction for visitors. You walk into said pub, most locals will be hospitable, some may even buy you a pint, but there will always be that hard core of suspicious, cantankerous old geezers who hate change and resent you encroaching on their patch. They'll treat you at least with a snarly "you're not from round these paaarrrrrts, are you?", or even with just outright hostility, and these are the people you'll notice most. The rest of us are quietly indifferent to your presence, or happy to see you.As a new poster and fan I can say that this place is not the most welcoming. Seems to be a group that dominate here that don't like anyone with new views or new to the team. I have seen nothing from him apart from enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with that - but it does get the backs up of the old group for some reason. I would have thought old fans would be very welcoming of new ones as the team grows. But, at least here, it is not the case for the loud minority. (I would add the less dominant lot seem pretty accepting).
