IMO; a very weak argument used in an attempt to justify blinkered jingoistic attitudes. . . if there was some kind of over-riding rule that said a football fan simply had to support their most locally placed football team then you'd be out there supporting your local pub side wouldn't you.
Think about it - then put your view. If you're still convinced as to your argument you'll be out there shouting for the Bay Horse Wanderers for sure and not bothering with the Blues eh?
Utter nonesence; On the basis that unless you live on the doorstep of the CoMS there must be a football team of some description every half mile between you and Mancherster City then the blues must be quite far down your priority listing of local teams who must (according to the laws in your head) be supported in the first instance.
The Bay Horse
The Golden Lion
The Bricklayers Arms
The St Hopes under 11's / under 12's / under 13's etc.
The local youth club
The Legion
The Labour Club 1st and 2nd 11's
etc, etc, etc.
Please get real and try to understand that supporting a football team has sweet fa to do with absolute proximity to their ground. If it did then you'd be too busy supporting all the teams between you and CoMS and we'd have lost our support when we moved from Maine Rd.
Doh!
I support my local team as well as City. Try again.
