But thats were your getting your wires crossed, I never got the chance to choose, Liverpool picked me because all my family are reds going through the generations like all fans from the City, this is where me and local fans are different from you and nearly all OOT and foreign fans, nothing at all to do with glory, if Liverpool were bottom of the conference I would still be supporting them regardless because its expected of me if I like football and come from Liverpool.
I chose to support Liverpool because my uncles and one of my friends supported them. My friends Dad supported them, which I assume was the reason he and his brother supported them. I was about 6 or 7 at the time I think. I've never asked my uncles why they started supporting them, but they're lifelong fans too. I've never had another club, and never will. If they got relegated to the conference, i'd still support them too. Does that irk you?
If you say you supported a team because there was not one close to you then why dont fans from Ireland support Everton, City, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton or Blackpool instead of the glamorous United or Liverpool's because all those Clubs are the nearest ones location wise to Ireland too, its because of the glory you and many other Irish fans support us and United, nothing at all wrong with that but you cant say your the same as us locals who support for an entirely different reason.
I know people here who support Liverpool, Man Ure, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Wolves, Everton, Bolton, Blackburn, Leeds, West Ham, Notts Forest & Sheffield Wednesday.
