It's saddening to hear about how people came to supporting their club in here. Most of them seem to have nothing to do with locality & going to matches.

I see us Yorkshire lads are a loyal breed though :cool:


Agreed mate

Ajax - born and lived in Amsterdam for a while. Still love catching up on the Eredivisie

Manchester Utd - only since the start of this season cos I'm a big Netherlands fan and I'm really rooting for Louis Van Gaal to do a good job. Plus am also a fan of Daley Blind, especially when he was at Ajax

Tottenham.

My Dad supports them and I'm from London.

As well as palace, I've been following my local team eastleigh for the last 6 or 7 years. Their stadium is louder than half the premiership grounds these days. Non league football really is very good.

Feel sorry for kids in Bedfordshire these days. I grew up there and there was no local team to support really.

Luton Town's fanbase are full of thugs, Rushden and Diamonds/Kettering have gone bust, and no self-respecting football man will support MK Dons.


Luton's fanbase is hardly full of thugs, we have one of the loudest and biggest fanbase's in league 2/1, its a pretty rubbish town and we do have an old stadium which is crammed into not the nicest part of the town. However if you think we are any more 'thuggish' than other teams in the area (stevenage, twatford, Oxford) then you need to go and experience a game. Dont forget every club has some fans dampening its image (chelsea for example).
We've had over 10,000 3 times this season, take thousands away and we have stamped out the thuggish fans that did ruin our clubs image over recent times (which were arguably the toughest years for any club to endure). So in my eyes, Bedfordshire isn't that bad at all :wink:

Villa. For a couple of reasons.

1. Always have supported the bad and less-supported teams in any arena of Sport. Picked my football team when I was 8 and David O'Leary was in charge. Nothing to do with the players and we were 15th so definitely not glory-hunting.

2. My Dad always said we needed to support different clubs. He supported Arsenal, and my other brothers picked Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea.

3. I looked in my football annual and the shirt struck me as the best-looking. Why? Well firstly the colours - claret and blue is stunning. Secondly, the sponsors at the time were DWS. And I always thought it was funny because it looked like COWS. Kid humour heh.

Tottenham Hotspur! My family members who are interested in football all support spurs and I have done since I was very young. Love going to the lane, amazing fans and amazing atmosphere!

Why would your dad want you to support a different team to him?

Because he thought it'd be a good idea. Get to see different clubs and all that. And tbh it's been great supporting different teams. Families who all support the same team don't experience the banter that you get during "house-rivalries". I'm glad, for one. Being an Arsenal fan would be dead boring.

Devout Sheffield Wednesday fan, on course to have seen about 30 games this year. Love away trips above everything else, although Elland Road was absolutely shocking.

Bradford Park Avenue in the Conference North are my second team (hence the username), watched them away at Tamworth yesterday, lost 2-0 :frown:

Leyton - Local team, cheap tickets and I find it a great day out
Tottenham (Main team) - Love everything about it! Especially since their champions league run. That was stellar

I've been a regular at Plymouth Argyle for seven seasons before this one. In which time we've finished:

10th, 21st, 23rd, 23rd, 21st, 21st and 10th.

Celtic. I never felt an attachment to any other team.

The football team that I have been supporting since I was 4 years old is Colchester United which is a team in England which plays in the 3rd division called NPower League 1. The main reason why I support them is because they are my local team and I have been to watch games since I was little.
So what team do you support and why?

I support chelsea because my dad grew up supporting chelsea and even though he prefers rugby he still always tunes in for a game. Yet despite watching chelsea and supporting them I do also support everton as that was my grandads team (I don't go out of my way to go to games as I do with chelsea but for him I still check in on them).
