I can understand if you LIVE in manchester, liverpool
etc. This thread is for the people who live nowhere near
them places and still support them teams.
So why?

I support Arsenal and I live just outside of London, but I don't support them because they are a local team, i just grew up supporting them..

I don't actually see why it matters really, it doesn't make you any less of a supporter if you do support a team that's far away imo

I support liverpool because i was born there and lived there for a few years and everyone in my family supports them... I dont live there anymore and apparently that makes me a glory supporter...

i support luton, but i also follow spurs, as every big football fan in my family supports spurs if they don't support luton, and i only live about 30 minutes from the ground.. so yeah.

The way I see it, you can't win; you're either a glory supporter or your team's crap.

I support Sutton Coldfield AFC as I live there, and Aston Villa because it's 10 minutes away.

Just because the team you support is good doesn't make you a glory supporter.
Like i've gone to see arsenal twice this season, i saw arsenal vs moscow and arsenal vs liverpool and it cost me over £100 so I can't afford to go to every match that comes up so i'msaving up and going to see them again later in the season.
I spend most of my money on arsenal lol, £4 a month on the magazine, £4 a month on arsenal tv online, £30 a season on red members, £40 on the jersey and loads more on the tickets.

Obviously; I meant in the view of other supporters you'll either be a glory supporter or your team will be crap.

I kinda like chelsea, I got a shirt before they became good, The Autoglass one, And i have the old one with veron on the back, And now i have One with Essien on the back.

Because I want to, being a supporter of a club from the lower leagues dosent make you a better supporter. I wont be dictated to by some whimsical belif that supporting the club from your own town makes you the dogs ********.

O and the fact that my Dad is a Utd supporter, who was born in Manchester and has brought me up to support them.

I love Arsenal and I was born and raised in Australia. When I'm not bound to any territorial team and I love the EPL (a lot) it's only fair to support someone, right? Well anyway.. my love for them wasn't because of the team so much, but specific players themselves. Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.. two of the best players I've ever seen. I don't consider myself a glory hunter because the results don't effect my point of view or stance as a fan. AFC are struggling and I really don't care, I just love watching them play. I haven't missed a match in five or so years.

13-12-2006, 07:32 AM

I'm a Chelsea fan, and I've never lived in London. If I'm honest I support them because they were the first team I ever heard of, in first school I asked some kid who he supported (not knowing any teams myself) and just agreed when he said Chelsea. Like DarkDemon said, that was back in the Autoglass days :D Wouldn't say that was "before they got good" though, they were winning lots even back then.

There better now though, Twas good when they had Zola.

I like arsenal because well... they have T.HENRY and he is cool because he is french and french eat snails because they cant eat worms because the worms get eaten by birds and such.

I never said I was "purebred" Australian I said I was born and raised here. How can I call myself anything other than Australian? AFC = Arsenal by the way. As for results, of course I want to see them win, it's just not the primary concern as I'd like to see good football over unexciting results.

when i was younger, i used to think ryan giggs was such a great player, and he was, and thats how i support man U after my home team, and i've also been to old trafford.

haha i did that too ^ then when abramovich came they got boring, and i just focused mainly on my local team.

i remember the days of ed de goey, zola, flo, desailly etc. ooh and vialli! what a player/manager he was.
