Supporting Two Teams?

[BlueTG]

I personally think it depends on the circumstances. Just choosing a ‘premier league team’, is nonsense.

My family are from Lincoln. Growing up, Lincoln were, and still are, my team first and foremost. However, when my Dad was younger, his best mate was from Manchester. One week, he would travel with him to watch City, the next, they’d watch Lincoln. For many years, he had season tickets at both, and took us whenever we could go along to City, too. Then we had season tickets at both, and then one or the other. My dad has seen more City games than most, and still attends Lincoln regularly.

There’s a real affinity through memories, ups, downs, family, friends and places for both clubs and a lot of time and dedication put into both teams. You could argue with me about who I choose as ‘my’ club and why, but Dad’s been there through thin, then thick, with both teams.

Nah not for me. I have a few European teams but I’m not mad about them. In the late 90s I supported Rangers nearly as much as City but since their fans trashed Manchester my loved waned somewhat. Only City are in my veins

Same here still like Gers but never the same after the Manchester final

 

[TShed]

So was mine, but probably for different reasons.

Stalactites??

 

[Blue Til Death]

Only City, with a fleeting affection for any team on the planet that beat the rags and dippers

 

[urban genie]

No

City and Bridge Celtic. Had some of best days watching Bridge away especially in FACup qualifiers and 1st Rounds plus The Trophy

At my kids football training tonight, out of about 30 children, three were wearing Al Nassr kits!

Not sure if they'll grow up supporting multiple teams, or just a string of players, but that definitely felt odd.

My mate has 3 boys, all Brighton fans (I live on South coast) but he buys a few random kits for them, Miami, Madrid etc from DH gate, so cheap, which they wear to their footy training etc but still all big Brighton fans.

Wolves & city in that order for me.

Come on you wanderers-:)

I bet yer didn’t see that City 3-1 Wolves game that, after the fog descended, ended up City 3-4 Wolves?

I fucking hate the Rags and Dippers pretty much the same, does that count?

I've got a half and half scarf saying Cunts twice :-)

I can't imagine supporting another football team. I have soft spots for several teams, usually the local club in places I've lived and worked around the UK and Europe but it's never more than that, just a soft spot whose results I keep an eye on. It's always and only Chelsea.

Give over. You're a Chelsea supporting City fan. You just need to get out of that closet!

What were your feelings when we played them in the cup the other year?

Haha good question.

I believe I am a very loyal person and this has rubbed off on my football following, Darlington being my second team as a kid just never wore off.

I followed City all though the darks days probably only watching Darlo 4/5 times a season but as I said earlier TV kicks offs, more time off and kids growing up have meant I do much more nowadays.

I must admit the Darlo v City cup games were the biggest of my life, I got in the Darlo club bar at Feethams very early and it told!

As a Manc City is obviously my team but Darlo come a very close second.

I bet yer didn’t see that City 3-1 Wolves game that, after the fog descended, ended up City 3-4 Wolves?

Or the 1971 League Cup game when we came from 1-3 at Maine Road to win 4-3. One of the best nights in the North Stand (standing season)

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

I know who City are but you'll have to be more specific

All three red tops tbf

 

[Tbilisi]

I still remember the banner that some City supporters were holding at the Newcastle game:

DENNIS TUEART WALKS ON WATER.

"Flucastle" and "Super Twat" were the two best chants I heard.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Always had a soft spot for West Ham

My mate has 3 boys, all Brighton fans (I live on South coast) but he buys a few random kits for them, Miami, Madrid etc from DH gate, so cheap, which they wear to their footy training etc but still all big Brighton fans.

These boys all had Ronaldo on the back. My money is on them being United fans who went full Ronaldo.

There are lots of kids now with City kits, but when they used to have a selection of names. Now it's almost entirely Haaland.

A mate of mine changed from utd to us, and this was when we were shit back in the 80s.
He said it was because the sessions we had on away days was brilliant and there was a good mob of us from Heywood.
He is still a passionate blue today and has brought his lads up to be as well.

Same in Stalybridge in fact two of them became most loyal fans I know as far as attending games from switching the season we went to div 3 and still are today one runs the supporters club even

All my Welsh family (late dad a taff, mum Manc) are Swansea and I look out for their results.

I got maybe a half dozen programmes when we beat them 4-0 in the season we first won the Premier League to post to family. I paid for them as it felt guilty.

Aguero double.

Reminds me when some shit journalist asked Liam Gallagher to list 10 things he hates

"Man United. 10 times."
