My step-dad has been a season ticket holder at Elland road for over 20 years, home and away. been all over Europe at times following the whites. He's has been doing this despite us living nearly 200 miles away.
Being at university, I cant afford to go every game, but I have made it to 6 games already this year, and have at least another 2 games sorted.
Arsenal however, I only watch on TV, and have never been to see them play. So going by that list Im a true supporter of Leeds, and a fan of Arsenal.
HOWEVER, I feel that rating kinda system is very harsh, many followers of prem clubs may not be able to afford the £500+ season ticket cost, or may have moved to other parts of the country, and it would now be unfeasible to make it to games...

I've seen a few classics between Southend and Colchester down at the old Layer Road and the your new ground, always a good atmosphere when these two meet.
Why Manchester United? Well I lived in Manchester for 4 years (yes I know, not very long) and my dad's side of the family is from there.
Just because I live in Scotland doesn't have anything to do with it. I still go to 90% of league games and as many away games as possible. Go to most European away games, have been to the two Champions league finals in recent years.
Where you live doesn't matter and why does it matter who people support? They will support who they want.

It's always an absolute corker! Especially when Adam Barrett misses the ball! See Video:
YouTube - Colchester vs Southend - Funny Goal
This is exactly what this debate is about. They may well 'support' who they want but the majority follow teams like Utd because they consistantly win things, this making them only really a fan, unless they actually input money into the club via ticket sales etc. jeeessh.

Manchester United - Good Supporter, I'd say.
Newcastle United - Kind-of-Supporter; I've been to one or two games, got a Newcastle shirt and always follow the results. I live in Newcastle when at uni.
Crewe Alexandra - Kind-of-Supporter; When I'm back at home (either Christmas or Summer) I can't get down to games, but before I started uni I went to a few games after being converted by a mate who lives next to Crewe.
Age: 19
Fan Since: 1991
Where do you live: Stockport, Greater Manchester
Why Man Utd?: In the family
Who Is Your Local Team?: I guess it'd be Stockport County, but I'm more of a Crewe fan due to my mate's influence. For instance, I could name the Crewe team but only one or two of the County side.

Good to see your from Stockport
Bad too see you don't support County
Likewise mate. Lovely place init? ^^)
Well, when I got a bit disillusioned with football a few years ago due to player salaries, lack of passion etc. I started to follow County's results. However, my mate persuaded me to splash out on a ticket for Crewe vs Swindon a fair few years back. It was the worst game I'd ever seen - it ended 0-0 and the biggest moment of the game was a Swindon striker missing an open net. Regardless of that, I really enjoyed the passion and the whole grassroots thing.
My last Crewe game was actually the game at Edgeley Park, where County edged out Crewe 4-3 in a cracker of a game. I was in the away end and it was ******* it down, but everyone was bouncing. The closest I can get to that now is Gateshead I guess, or if I go enough out of my way I could try Blyth Spartans.
I was having a laugh, he's from Stockport, so I'm saying it's bad he doesn't support County, in a non offensive way

Man Utd fan (from what you define as a supporter), as a student it is ****** hard to find money for food let alone a ticket. Also a fan of Basingstoke Town, do always hope they don't have to fight for relegation most years in the Blue Square South.
Age: 19
Fan Since: 1996 (I think, can't remember when I first supported them)
Why?: Dad supported them
Where do you live: Basingstoke
Why Man Utd?: Dad is from Manchester and he supports them
Who Is Your Local Team?: Basingstoke Town

Been a Blyth Spartans fan for 3 years. Had 2 season Tickets. Go to about 10 away games a season and most Pre-Season games. Would go to more away games but distance is my barrier !!
