We Know Who You Support Now Where Are You From?

[bkkjames]

Inspired by Mr Toady's constant nagging about my never being to Old Trafford, I thought I would start a topic to find out where all you 'team supporters' come from.

In other words - time to come clean everyone.

Toady you first mate - are you from Manchester?

MS

Stevie

Migsy

San Corona

Devil

Mr BJ (I assume you have to be from the eastlands)

and so...

San Corona

North Shields which is near enough to Newcastle (few miles), but moved south many years ago never to return!

[beano2274]

Hammer from Yeovil, Somerset.

[Seapok]

Born and bred in Battersea, SW London

[StevieH]

Swindon born and Swindon bred.

Well, you could do a Jingthing, and set up a thread with a poll.

I hardly think Mr.Toad has been nagging - though I suspect that you may well have been suckered into it by the aforesaid amphibious member.

Meanwhile, I grew a stone's throw from the Royal Liverpool Golf course and did in fact pass both Goodison Park & Anfield when first starting work as an apprentice at Lucas's in Long Lane, Fazakerley.

Luckily in 1963, my family saw the light and we "bailed out" of the UK, and found a more comfortable and pleasant lifestyle "Down-under".

So I'm a Tranmere Rovers, Manchester United and Perth Glory Supporter .........

A bit bleak out on the moor on a December night Alan, a true supporter or just plain daft...........

[delboy]

I was born in Battersea SW London and lived there for the first 35 years of my life. A Chelsea fan since first taken to see Chelsea play Cardiff by my dad in 1954. I was a season ticket holder at the Bridge from 1963 until I moved to Thailand in 1989 and went to most away matches from 1965-1983. Now happy enough to see all the matches on TV, but would still like one more visit to the Bridge someday.

I went to see them in Oct/Nov 2000 first game of the season i believe, and i was mightily impressed with the 15k turnout, the supporters genuinely gived a <deleted> about the Glory.

Dont live in Issan mate too quiet for a Stokie like me lol.

[mrtoad]

I see James did indeed get sucked in.

Okay, I don't mind taking some shit from not being from Manchester, originally from Cornwall so no actual teams in that County. Supported United from as long as I can remember as the old man is also a fan. When I was at school, virtually everybody was Liverpool fans. Been up there a number of times over the years and of course to numerous away games as well, and also have an affection for Torquay United, as they always seemed to be hovering around the bottom of the table.

There you go James.

thats got a certain ring to it Ken lol.

Stevie, if you knew my full hsitory you would understand why not these two teams. But, I'll be kind and give a partial explanation in the forum- Exeter City, is my old man's second team, so we have always had a rivalry on that one with me having an affection for Torquay United. As for Truro City, you got to be <deleted> joking, I was bought up on South Western League football, and Truro were never a favourite of mine, and there ground used to be <deleted> to play on. It is only in recent years since Heany became the owner that they have been any good. When you're in Bangkok I'll tell you more on both.

15 miles out of L'Pool puts you in one of the following areas, Chester, Southport or Warrington. If the latter you're halfway to Manchester, so why not United ?.............

PS I've got a funny feeling it's Southport, if so check this out...
