as a relative outsider i find some attitudes in this thread quite bewildering, and again maybe you just dont have a clue about the fact that most towns don't have top level sporting team, football or otherwise.
i would consider myself to be a cardiff blues fan / supporter, even though im from cardiff, ive never watched a live game. so what, i still want them to win over whoever their playing. in fact i don't buy any merchandise or directly contribute to the club in any way, but they are still my club
I think the difference is, that you won't very likely find a Bolton or Wigan fan from anywhere other than Bolton or Wigan, as they don't win trophies.
At my work right now, we have hired nine guys, all Irish lads except for one lad from bradford. Two Arsenal fans, Three rags, Two Chelsea and two Liverpool fans. No coinsidence that none of them support Wolves.
