I don't :D

Find Out Here

Well, I don't, but I'd rather support anyone than Bolton Wanderers (I watched paint dry one day and it better attacking football - how the **** did they stay up last season?!). Wigan is literally just down the road from here though

Born on the wrong side of town. :(

definately not.

Yes! Though, my team is the only team that plays away even when at home.

I used to but now I have moved it is about sixth in the list.

Yeah I do, they're about to go down the ****ter though! :(

Still, last few years have been great. Nearly knocked Kiev out of the CL this year. Pity the bubble's burst.

Have a soft spot for Villa.

Yes I do. The Stadium of Light is 6.11 miles away and I'm a Sunderland fan, St. James Park is 7.43, Hartlepool is 18.32, Middlesbrough 24.39, Darlington 25.78 and Carlisle 55.10 :D

We don't have a local team.

Yeah if you don't then y r u living there? U have to love ur home team. Notre Dame and the Colts

From where I was brought up, my local team should be City. :(

4th on the list is Manchester United..

Meh, if my dad wasn't a red, I could've swung either way.

Yes I do.
New Orleans Saints.
Season ticket holder since 2001.
This is our year. We're building a strong defense to go with the #1 offense.

Yes i do since i could go.

Brighton & Hove Albion
:soccer:

Why does when you use the football smilie it see ****ing soccer.:banghead:

hamilton accies is the local team where i stay, there okay players, but iv been brought up to support Glasgow Rangers :) there still local but not as local :P

I hate my local team

my local team was good until they won EVERY GAME and then lost the championship game last season.
so no i do not support a team that disappoints me like that

I support my local teamS (plural). We all know those local rivalries around the World (Man. Utd vs City, Liverpool vs Everton, the Old Firm, L.A. Lakers vs L.A. Clippers, etc.). And of course in "Matrix" that rivalry exists too. But I'm "strange" as regards this (well, and many other things :)).

For instance, right now I'm glad that my hometown's SECOND football team has also contributed to establish our hegemony in many sports (football, tennis, basketball, cycling and others, at least in Europe). :D

1.37 miles SCP Celtic Football Club
5.06 miles SCP Rangers Football Club
7.25 miles SCP Hamilton Academical Football Club
9.57 miles SCP Motherwell Football Club
9.57 miles SCP St Mirren

I'm a Rangers fan, so no I most certainly do not support my local team if it's that mob at the top.

San Diego Chargers @ Saints...7-0...Sadly, there is no soccer, and I hate MLS so...

i hate rivers and LT so it's all good.

LT doesn't even play there anymore and Rivers is a mega douche. Same goes for most Chargers fans.

You live in San Diego and you call the fans Doucebags, way to be a douchebag.

he is still a douche and i reserve my right to call it out.

I'm here on orders actually. I wouldn't be here if I had a choice. San Diego fans are the most fair-weather, immature whiny ass bitches I've ever seen. They wouldn't know a real football fan if it bit them in the ass.

True enough, he's fake as ****.

SD has some great weather though.

LT just seems like a bitch to me. caddy and confident.

You should hear them every winter when they choke in the playoffs...

The only thing I admit to San Diego fans is there is some serious bandwagon here, they have a ****ty season, everyone hates them, they start winning, everyone goes out and starts buying gear. But as for being whiny bitches, I don't know what part of San Diego you know but where I live we are die-hard fans. What team do you support?

I like the Packers and Colts, the two places I lived before here, Indiana and Milwaukee.

I live in North Park btw. But most of the fans I'm speaking of were people I've encountered at various sports bars in the Chula Vista area.

I think that the people you refer to are the people who don't know **** about sports, but they act like they do to go along with the crowd, they're the type of people who make the whole fan-group look like ****, just look at the Raiders for example.

If you think I have bad things to say about Charger fans, don't even get me started on ****in' Raider fans...

Like most Irish people I follow a British team - in my case Chelsea. I don't really have a League of Ireland team in a convenient distance to me though.

Why do you support Chelsea? Did you start supporting them when they started to win things? Or...

Everyone in my class in school either supported Man United, Celtic or Liverpool. I just chose them to be different I suppose, it was around the time of the Abramovich takeover but I didn't really know what that meant for the club.

Convenient eh? ;)

Anything's better than Liverpool though to be fair.

To be honest I really just couldn't be arsed getting a bus into Dublin town on a wet and windy Friday night to watch a bunch of League Two-equivalent players hoove balls down to each other in practically empty, miserable grounds. I have a lot of respect for the players though, I don't know how they get by on such meagre wages.

It costs 50p to get into a game by my local team, but they suck so even that's a waste of money.

Because who REALLY wants to support a League of Ireland team?? :D The standards in our domestic leagues are dreadful, it's no wonder everybody supports the English teams. I was brought up a Man United supporter by my dad but i've pretty much lost interest in the past few years.

My local team is Athlone Town F.C. who have been languishing in the first division for about 13 years now. The last game i went to was about 2 years ago and it was like watching paint dry, the most entertaining thing about being at the match was winding up the away supporters with offensive chants. The club's moment of glory was in 1975 when they drew 0-0 with AC Milan at home in the European Cup. My dad was at that match and one of my college lecturers was in the starting eleven. They got hammered in the away leg unfortunately.

I agree with Zero1986. What has to be borne in mind is that most people in the Irish provinces actually live in fairly isolated areas, meaning getting back and forth to games is a costly and time-consuming process, one which is especially worthless considering how low the standard of football is. My local team are the mighty Finn Harps, whose most famous feat was losing 10-0 to Brian Clough's Derby and have since then been a yo-yo team in the League Of Ireland.

I think Ireland's proximity to Britain is both a blessing and a curse. Any talented player normally leaves Ireland at an early age to play in England which deprives the league of talented players. Also instead of having a season ticket to a local team most football fans would rather just go over to Anfield or Old Trafford once a year.

It is a bit embarrassing though when I claim to be a die-hard Chelsea fan for years yet have never been to a match.
