If you are talking about Grassophers, I agree, that's why a team like Servette has fans all over the German area, because at a time it was seen as the only close rival to GC and for a bumpkin from Aargau and Uri, "gloryhunt" a Zurcher team was beyond the pale.
But FC Zurich are seen in a more favourable light, I think. They certainly are seen as a decent team amongst my friends and I, unlike Grassophers
