Just a bit of fun this, brought on by a conversation with a new Saints colleague who's lived in Southampton his entire life. I was a forces kid so moved all over and only ever lived a year in Manchester, but Pa Bollo made sure I was brought up correctly. And a great deal of shit I took as often the only City supporter in the school.
One of the downsides of success is that we attract the tourist and fly-by-night supporter, so what if the new football regulator passed a law that said you could only support your local side - i.e. the nearest side to where you're currently living. If you move then you have to switch allegiance to the new closest club. Lets see the list. I'd have quite the shirt collection....
Hull City
Apollon Limassol FC
FC Rags!!! (living at my grandparents on the Lightbowne Rd, a bailiff's knock from Pallet Park)
QPR (aka superhoops - I used to go to Loftus Rd quite a bit in the old plastic pitch days)
Watford
Berwick Rangers (although the locals were all barcodes, fuck 'em)
Boro'
Chavs (fuck 'em even more)
Villa
Aldershot
Southampton
