Supporting another team??

[Innsbruckblue]

I always find these questions a little strange. Surely you would try going to a couple of games first, to see how it feels. What's the atmosphere like? The fans?
I used to live in Madrid and really looked forward to my first Real game at the Bernabeu. Went a couple of times and found the lack of atmosphere really depressing. Tried Atletico which was better, but then went to a Rayo Vallecano game. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, great fans and a real local club. Needless to say, I started going regularly. Same thing before I moved to Leipzig. Looked forward to seeing Lok Leipzig, found most of the fans to be super right-wing with a sometimes really aggressive, poisonous atmosphere. Tried Sachsen Leipzig, the 'left-wing' team, got fed up with their 'holier than thou' attitude. I now watch RB Leipzig which, even though their sponsored by Red Bull, do more to attract families and kids to their games than any football club I've visited.
I don't really think it's possible to 'choose' what team to support in another town or city until you've been to their home games and tried it out.

And breathe...Just a bit of fun!!!

I suppose I did overreact slightly :)

As a West Ham fan I've (as of Saturday) officially adopted City as my 'Norvern' club. Had a great day at your stadium (we could learn alot from your gaff for when we move into our new Olympic council house). Great banter from both sets of fans and not a moments nasty feeling all game.

Best away day I've had when losing!

I think you will find that a lot of us city fans have a soft spot for west ham. In my opinion west ham are the London equivalent of manchester city.
