I live in Leyland and as Leyland no longer has a football team then I will continue to buy a season ticket for the Latics, what does that make me then ? I am adopted then I guess ! All I am trying to say is that people should stop harping on about who one should support. If someone wants to say they are a Utd fan despite never even going then so be it but you cant force people to be fans just because they live there ! My local in Leyland has 2 in house clubs that you can join for a fee to watch footy on the tv.One is for Utd and the other Liverpool. You pay a yearly fee and you get preferential treatment, best seats, waiter service etc !! When either team is on tv the pub is rammed full ! No different here it would seem eh !! Get over it people as it will never change and don’t take it to heart because it has always been that way !!
It would appear the people that think this thread is pointless or are uncomfortable with it are the ones that don’t live in the town or have switched allegiance at some stage.Not living in the town and supporting Wigan is only the same as someone from Wigan supporting Man Utd. I have no problem with these people, long may it last. They’ll be Wigan til they die. That is unless/until they switch allegiance. However, I find the whole concept of this as being impossible. Once your club’s in your blood, it’s there forever. If it isn’t, it was never your club in the first place. You can at best be adopted. No soft spots for other clubs, no caring about who wins a game if your club isn’t involved (unless it directly affects your club), your club’s yours forever, for better or for worse.
Easier to change your woman.
Well said that man.
Although I think it’s less about where you currently live and more where [and how] you were raised.
