Just look at it from my point of view, I just cant get my head around anyone wanting to support a Club from a different area from where there from, I could never see myself supporting say Manchester City or Newcastle for instance, dont mean to have a go or anything but I just simply dont understand why especialy when people have perfectly good Clubs to support where they live, why spend hundreds of pounds traveling to watch a Club that will never represent who they are or where there from, sorry to offend anyone. I can see where you're coming from, but you don't know the reason why - maybe his dad is from Liverpool and left on a work transfer, and therefore the house was wall-to-wall red? But that doesn't imply these fans will randomly switch allegiance now that we're scrapping for 7th as usual. Liverpool has never been known for glory seeker supporters (ok, maybe not "never" but certainly in the last 20 years); you must have us confused with United. Whatever outside influence drew people to the club would surely not have dissipated just because we've reverted to "struggler" status once more. And if these people DID begin to support the club thanks to the heroics of say Sir Bob, why would they stop now after putting up with the disappointments of Souness and Evans and our average finishes ever since? Part of the reason I love this club is because we're always the underdog. Everyone hates us, but we still win stuff, humiliate top sides; it's beautiful. I'm the only LFC supporter I personally know; everyone else is either scum or chav, except my mom who supports Newcastle (and only because she was hot for Kevin Keegan when he was there, but maybe that's giving you too much information...). I can accept what your saying, fair enough, it's just as a person who comes from the City I am fiercley protective of my City's identity thats why I find it very hard to fathom how a person can adopt the team of another place, it would just never ever enter my head, if my dad was from another area then that team would be his not mine, mine would be from where I was from, thats all...

So, if You were raised in Liverpool and at 16 was forced to move with Your parents to Manchester, You would instantly swap to supporting Manure or Chitty then?

That's true enough. I suppose it's the primal influences in earlier life that shape us. Football in my country was unwatchable when I was growing up (and it's hardly improved in the intervening decades as we all witnessed at the World Cup - first host nation to fail to reach the knock out stage). But I enjoy the sport, and kinda latched onto a team that played the beautiful game beautifully (and happened to have some players I could identify with in it). Maybe that's different in England where there are so many clubs on one another's doorstep, many quality sides in the same city even. I guess one could take some form of identity from which stadium you grew up adjacent to, but equally maybe something happened that made you refuse to support them (maybe Gary Neville ran your dog over) in which case the world is your oyster. But I believe fans are an important commodity, so having fans criticizing other fans simply because they're not from nearby doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. And maybe that's just a peculiar OOT view.

@lumbar final solution is not far off this way of thinking, still the kopswede should be ok if he is blond and blue eyed. All these nationalities who want to support liverpool are blowing a fuse in reclaims circuits bless him
