No.... not a thread for lovers of synthetic goods. Myself...born in Brighton...I support Brighton & Hove Albion. My Ma from Pittsburgh so....Pittsburgh Steelers in NFL. Just love to hear why people support their club.  |

Huddersfield fan as that's where I live and go for a dozen or so matches a year when time allows.
Why? because they are local and because I am not a glory hunter. I watch other teams but my loyalty lies with the Terriers.
Me thinks the man united fans are franticly dreaming up reasons why they support a club 100 miles plus away.  |

One of my friends as a young bot closed his eyes and stuck a pin into a page full of football clubs to find the one he was going to support,none of his family were into football and there was'nt a local team that he could support
Hes remained loyal to that team to this day,even though its not local to him,is he a plastic supporter? |

The level of plasticity would be assessed on if the tail was true, if he randomly picked one of 92 clubs and it it didn't turn out to be one of the top 3.
The real test is is the club local enough to be able to go and watch live as the definition originally of supporter was someone who went along to the matches to support them.
The pin thing well if you are going to pick a random club the obvious one is to support your local one. |

Now that in my book is a true supporter who sticks with their team thick and thin. |

A rare breed and well done. Thanks for the three points Saturday btw. What do you call your stadium? I still think of it as the McAlpine. The Amex at Brighton I feel will always be known as such no matter who sponsors. |

Not at all. I think that's a great story. Fortunately I didn't need the 'pin option'  |

I (Mr A) am a long term supports of the New England Patriot in NFL. I was about 6 when our neighbours at the time (an American couple) invited us all over for their annual superbowl party.
And since then, I've been hooked. |

there was no local team at all? No lower league? Didn't think that was possible. Me? I'm a blade. Where I'm from I guess there's 4 options, pigs (Wednesday) Rotherham or the blades.
My family are all united mad so I never had a choice lol, damn their eyes haha x |

We ripped you apart first half...0-4 would not have been unflattering. Second half different story. Galpharm.....think not. Is it not John Smiths? |

That's a nice story. As a six year old you must have been impressed. I got into US football in the 80's and played as a linebacker. |

I thought the whole show was amazing! Used to stay up til 2am most sunday nights to watch it when it was on channel 4 lol!
Also played when in Uni, I was the shortarse quarterback who could throw accurately about 30 - 40 yards. Can fondly remember a team we were playing taking the piss out of my height, and then looking gobsmacked as I threw an 80 yard "long bomb" to their 2 yard line and our waiting wide reciever....
Aaaaahhh.... memories. |

Touchdown!!!! Brilliant game but trying to explain it to those who said we were all soft. I was a 240lb middle lb but needed a lot of padding as was usually double teamed and sometime trebled. Expect you took some hits? |

When you are 5 years old and you pick the same team to support as your 6 year old brother (who you fight cat & dog with) and he threatens to beat you up unless you choose someone else, well, you learn to choose someone else.
The teams in question: him, Spurs. Me, I chose United. Seems I got the better out of the deal. |

p.s. I was born in Chelsea.
p.p.s. I am also a fan of wherever I am living at the time. I grew up in Luton so they got my support when I wanted to see a big club visiting the Town.
Now, I go to St James' park whenever Man Utd are in town, or to the pub to watch the Toon play (up here they don't even turn the TV on if Newcastle or Sunderland aren't playing) |

not true at all the pubs around the north east have all the matches on just the same as anywhere else and people go the pub to watch them or watch at home. |

The Plastics are Chelsea and have been known as such by Liverpool fans since Abramovich tried to recreat an Anfield European Night by giving all the home support plastic flags to wave. Still couldn't hear them and they still got beat in the 2005 & 2007 Euro Semi Finals by the magnificent Liverpool masterminded by the fantastic Rafa Benetiz. Following last night's events I now find myself hoping that Rafa wins the league though I doubt very much that The Plastics will ever recognise what a great manager they have just got.
I for my part was born and bred on Merseyside and started going to watch Liverpool form The Kop with my Dad from the last game of the 1970/71 season and have been going ever since, including many trips to away grounds for both large and small matches, a snowy night in Southend for example in Round 3 of the FA Cup via the old Football Special.
For the first 20 years, Liverpool always won, and while the last 20 years haven't been as successful, Liverpool still regularly deliver trophies. Onwards and upwards with Brenden Rodgers now as I think Liverpool may well surprise a few people yet this season |

I agree Mackam, the folks of the North East are as nuts about football as anywhere else in the country. The most amusing thing about football in the North East though is because Sunderland, Newcastle and Middlesborough are 1 team cities, but think of games against each other as derbies, the banter and vitriol against each other is amazing. Obviously there's some bad in that, but a few years ago I was in Newcastle when Big Sam was their manager. After the game, Liverpool had won easily, we went into a pub in Newcastle wearing our Liverpool shirts and enjoyed the banter. The local DJ though had us in tears as he played 3 pretty crude videos on the big screen to a song that covered the 3 North East clubs. The humour was cruel and wicked and not something that could be done in a pub in Liverpool about either LFC or EFC. Definately a memorable time, though I've enjoyed my trips to Sunderland too, queueing up after the game for the park and ride bus. |

YAWN. You have not won the league in 20 years and won't for the next 10. Stick to you memories and leave the trophies to the big clubs.
You are more than welcome to have The Fat Waiter back, we don't want the cunt at Chelsea |

Like the majority of Mancunians, I support Man Utd.
Now that I live in Yorkshire, I also occasionally go see Huddersfield Town with some mates who support them, but would never class myself as a Town fan.
Like most true football fans, there is only ever room in my heart for one team.

There are three pubs within walking distance of our house and all three have Sky Sports. All three show the matches, regardless of who is playing which is as you say, but in all three pubs if it isn't Newcastle or Sunderland playing the volume is usually turned down, the jukebox turned up and nobody gives a toss about the game on the TV. That's what happens in my local/s. |

"

I've supported United (as an LMTB holder) since I was a nipper in the early 80s.
They may not have been the best team in England back then, and never used to win the league but, to be fair, they were never "crap" and, a bit like the scousers now, we still picked up silverware on a regular basis.
Must admit, I grew up thinking I'd never see United win the league in my lifetime (like most Liverpool fans now), so the past 20 years or so have been unbelievable if I'm honest.
I can remember when everyone I knew used to call Liverpool fans "glory hunters".
Much as I hate the scouse, 99% of the time, it was simply jealousy made people say it, just as it is now with United.

Me and the hubby are both Preston north end fans, born and bred in Preston, we have supported them in the dark days of the bottom division to the heady heights of play off finals, we are now in a transition period with a brand new squad and a manager that doesn't get any credit he deserves. |
