What football team should I support?

I had never found football particularly interesting up until the Euros, where I watched all the matches I could and I enjoyed watching it a lot. So now it is over I would like to start supporting a football team, but my family are not really football fans (my dad technically supports Arsenal but never watches any of their matches).
I live in south east England, so I would like to support a club from around there but mainly I would like to support one that plays good, honest football and has nice players.
Sorry for rambling so much, but I would love to hear if anyone has any suggestions of who I should support, or how to pick a team to support.

Thank you :smile:

Maybe you don't need to go into it supporting one club vehemently. Watch some of them play, keep up to date on the news, and you'll probably naturally find an affinity for one.

Alternatively maybe @Tolgash can find you a team to fit those criteria.

Thanks for the mention, @ashtolga23.

First of all, which club would you say is nearest to where you live? A lot of football fans support their local clubs, and many are appreciative of those who aren't merely 'gloryhunters' or 'plastic' supporters (i.e. fickle fans who choose a club to support simply because it is successful, so they can therefore boast about such success as if the club truly meant something to them beyond silverware).

Next, go off family. If your father 'technically' supports Arsenal, there's no reason to not properly support them.

You could even just support a club for its success and disregard the criticism you'll inevitably face at some point.

Or, you could just watch football for the spirit of the sport, and view it as a neutral, with a slight preference for one of the teams playing on the day (e.g. they're an underdog).

Where do you live? I'm firmly of the belief that the best way to get into football is by going regularly, so I'd get stuck into one within easy reach of a return trip on a Saturday.

I can't think of one football club like that - football has been destroyed by money.

I support my local team. KTID.

Supporting and having a season ticket for a local team means I can go to all the home games and also get on the supporter buses for away games cheaply.

We don't win regularly, we just got relegated in the SPLF :frown:

, and we are not a big team so (season tickets are much cheaper!) it isn't as euphoric as the Euros, but when we do win there is nothing like it :dancing:

Hmm South East - so many good trams.

I'd suggest supporting the biggest local team e.g. if you live in Portsmouth why not support Brighton.

i'm a girl who has ever really been interested in football either, but ever since the Euros, i've actually really liked it. - the whole vibe when the fans are happy and the game etc.
