NEWS | A sorry-looking #sleague Perhaps, Singapore is just too small for so many teams. Our landscape is too homogenous for any sort of “tribal rivalry” to develop, as is the case for the English clubs. The one club with a hardcore base of supporters, Hougang United, shares its name with the long-time opposition stronghold Hougang SMC. Political affiliation has helped to create a unique “Hougang identity”. Tell me, why would a Toa Payoh resident cheer for Balestier Khalsa or a Bedok resident root for Geylang United, beyond the fact that the clubs are based in their neighbourhoods? When the two teams meet in a game, are you likely to see a stadium with filled with cheering fans in their club colours? No, because there’s just not enough “tension”.
