What team has the world's most devoted fans. A team fans passionately
hate to love. Notorious for their championship drought hockey's
Toronto Maple leafs. The Leaf Nation hates the team but would explode
with euphoria if they ever won. But their 37 year championship dearth
pales compared to baseball's Red Sox and Chicago Cubs.

Are any more fans more crazed than Liverpool's Kopites? The Raider
Nation perhaps. There is a story that a Texas death row inmate was
asked when if he had any last words replied, "Raiders are going to win
it all."

What's the toughest place to for an opposing team to play, Yankee
Stadium, Fenway, Wembley Stadium, Oakland Coliseum's Black Hole, some
crazed cricket pitch in Sri Lanka or Pakistan?

See an Old Firm match - or Galatasaray when they're hosting a foreign
side.

Definitely Wembley.

Mind you, it's a struggle for the home team as well, what with all the
cranes and other heavy machinery.
