That loyalty that you respect is what the real supporters of clubs are made of, im making it out like i support an awful team though, 9th best in England... cant be too bad! Its the fans that go home and away with the likes of Kidderminster that i think need applauding, wow!

Ye i saw the thread earlier mate... and commented ;).. sleepless nights for you ahead mate, you will appreciate those 8 hour trips to Manchester a lot more in the future XD
seem to be building yourself a pretty decent life there though... good luck with it all! :P

and shes a football girl ****** **** :P

very true mate, a guy who lives down my street supports canvey island, goes home and away with them lol

and yeah mate i saw, thanks :) and yeah, the start of the next chapter in my life now :) am really looking foward to it though :) he/she will be a born and raised United fan, im sorry i love my misses to bits but id rather cut my bollocks off than see him/her in a royals shirt lol and yeah, doing alright for myself dude :) no complaints lol and her, she loves her football! we are going out to South Africa for Englands opening match against USA, can not wait! shes been to see United withs me a few times and ive seen Reading with her few times (fell asleep) ;) lol

but yeah, there are a few of us lol although most people in Manchester are City fans lol but im a red through and trough :)
 
It was mainly due to my friends and the other kids around me, i was about 4 (before utd were winning everything) and everyone i knew was a utd fan so, as 4 year olds do, i followed the 'trend' and i've never looked back, my passion for utd burns bright in my heart and i will be forever a devil.
 
Well I was born in Scotland, then when I was younger i moved to Manchester and have only moved back to Aberdeen recently. Some people may call me a glory hunter as i wasn't born in Manchester but I have had my season ticket since i was 9 and nowadays I go to most away games.

im sure little city and royals tops will be around somewhere mate XD
 
I support Hearts because of my dad.

I grew up in a town that was 99% Rangers and all of my mum's side are big Rangers fans.

He soon started taking me to Hearts games to try and keep me away from the gers and it worked (kids are stupid). His dad was from Edinburgh so it ran in his family, they all support Hearts.

Livingston would have been my local side and i am not even sure they were about when I started going to Hearts games.

I started watching coz of Beckham. Media was going on and on about Beckham so i wanted to see what it is all about. He won me and then i started watching games coz of him. Once you watch Manutd there is no looking back. From Beckham Fan boy i turned to Man United supporter. It got into me so much that i have read, watched videos about our history, legends and all. Now its Unied is my life.

TBH Manchester is not even remotely connected to me and noone in my family even knew football, but now i feel Manchester is my club and slowly i'm making others to watch.

To add to it, I'm not glory humter coz when i started watching, i didnt even know there is something called League, lol. And even though i'm from India i will be so emotional about matches, Munich tragedy.

Last season i couldn't control my tears when Ronaldo scored 3rd against spurs and when Macheda scored against villa. I was so emotional. Its more than a club to me.

He'll let us know on May 23 ;)
 
no but seriously my dad brought me up to support Juventus, my mum is fond of Manchester United but she doesn't really like football so..... Juve:)
 
half of my family are die hard Leicester and half are die hard Forest XD

im firmly in the leicester half, its where i was born and bought up, and my dad and mum are both leicester as well as one set of grandparents. this is also where my hatred for forest comes from :) our family get togethers are great... :D
 
I support Chelsea since i saw them playing when i was 6 years old,i since then became a fan and now i am a die hard fan of Chelsea
 
This thread has gotten ridiculous.

Half of it is an MSN conversation, and the other half is just stupid excuses to support a successful team.
 
Tottenham-I saw their potential superstars
Toulouse-My story (H)
Leeds-Parents ;)
Plymouth- Local
Exeter- Local
 
Leeds, because of my Dad. He supported Leeds because his next door neighbour did, so he went to all the games. I also follow Forest because My Grandad was a Forest fan, so I have been to a few of their games. Boston because I live here (promoted woo).

My other Grandad is a Man U fan, but i would more rather kill myself than support that scum.

I actually know of a few Celtic supporters in Livingstone!
 
Folkestone because of FM, tottenham because it is local and my family support them, and Aldershot from following the in 2007 in the BSP, now they might even get promoted, but I go to tottenham matches all the time and are a fan of them mainly.
