I can't argue with this.
“The team you support, picks you. I see loads of people following teams they’ve got absolutely no connection to. You should be supporting the side you’ve been born to support. If you’re not from Liverpool, I just don’t get why you’d want to support Liverpool.
Yeah, your able to choose whoever you want, but you’ll never get that true feeling of being in a ground where everyone’s from the same place, speaks the same, and lives it the same way.
That’s what it’s like being a West Ham fan. We all sort of know each other, and these big clubs turn up expecting that they will take three points. Most of the time they do, but every now and then you pull off a massive result, and it means everything to the lads in the ground.
If you’re a Cockney supporting Liverpool, you’ll never get that feeling. Singing songs about places you’ve got no connection to, it just doesn’t sit right with me. I’ve always found it strange.
And when you’ve got two Londoners, one supporting United and the other Liverpool, arguing about their rivalry… it just feels off. That rivalry comes from history, from the docks, from working-class roots. It runs deep.
If you’re from somewhere like Colchester, go and support Colchester. That’s your club.” |  |

He's spot on.
Just listen to the phone ins on Talk sport and 5 Live,
the dribbling Liverpool fans ringing in from all parts of the globe are 99% dribblers and have never even been to Mickey Land.

Whilst I agree with him who are you supposed to support if you live in a town without a club?
I grew up in a satellite town with no club of note when I was young, the most local league club at the time was Aldershot and no-one from Woking is going to support those w@nkers
Thankfully the decision was already made for me as I've said previously due to family connections to Southampton but technically one of the clubs in south west London would be closest as easiest for me to get to |  |

Obviously if your town has not club you have to support one near by, so I think it is more about region than the town/city itself | |

Generally agree with this. Where it differs slightly is where you follow your parents. I was born and bred Hampshire so it was never a debate that I would support a Hampshire team and geographically (thankfully) Southampton was the nearest Hampshire club - however, in terms of miles, Reading were the nearest team but I did not want any relationship with a club outside of Hampshire.
However, shortly after my son was born we moved to Yorkshire and technically his nearest clubs (as he was growing up) were either Hull City or York City - I have no issue with either of them, but he supports Saints because I naturally took him to games with me as a child and even now he is grown up he will go to Southampton games. |  | | |

How quaint, pooor old Danny is still living in the 1930's. The working class roots nonsense was swept away decades ago. Who still lives in the towns in which they were born? How many players in a local team were born there or have any connection to the place?
The world has moved on Danny or hadn't you noticed. We live in an international age, people live where life takes them, be it in the UK or abroad. If they follow football they can support who they like.
Liverpool or Man City or Southampton are just brand names. | | | |

This I agree with
Both my parents are from Hampshire and my Dad supported Saints
I was born and bred in London (plenty of stick at school for not being spurs or Arsenal) but followed them cos he did and now my son does the same | | | |

Just brand names?
So why do you call yourself 'SaintBrock then? | | | |

If you're from Woking you support Woking. Ditto Aldershot. I've been to a couple of games between them and they usually double the gate from around 2500 to around 5,000. There's plenty of atmosphere and the football is of the take no prisoners variety - if you get kicked, don't roll around in agony, get up or better still don't fall over. Like Nick I'm a big supporter of non league football - I'd sooner watch Bashley in the rain than Chelsea any day. | | | |

So if you live/brought up in Eastleigh, would you support them or Saints?
Ok, Eastleigh have only really progressed to where they are now in the last 10-15 years or so, but I'm sure there are Eastleigh supporters now if a certain age that used to follow Saints |  |

Or follow Brockenhurst? (That's an assumption based on the Brock in his name) | |
