A few Google searches point to Arthur C. Clarke, but not with these exact words, so maybe it's not the correct quote (http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/cyc/l/law.htm).
"The main difference between Trekkies and Manchester United fans is that Trekkies never trashed a train carriage. So why are the Trekkies the social outcasts?"

It's a bad paraphrase of Clarke's Third Law, usually stated as:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic."
