Football support is NOTHING to do with where you are raised or have lived

Sorry if you think I'm one of the snooty ones, 'Mangohead.' But I agree with 'Spartan Army.' When I was a boy in Leicester, everyone in my class at school, without exception, supported Leicester City. 'A' ye gooin' dahn Ci'y Sat'dy?' was what boys said to each other at the end of school on Friday afternoon. We used to envy wistfully the exploits of glamour clubs like Wolves and the Arsenal, but we'd never dream of formally supporting them.

And I've always felt a bit irritated by people who start claiming to be supporters of a club with which they've got no geographical or traditional family connection when it becomes successful (I'm sure you're not in this category!). Isn't a club something to be supported in bad times as well as good?
