    You don't know Yorkshire mate, born in any of those cities you don't support any of the others, ever.

    Also you don't support a Lancashire/Manc team, that'd be a huge betrayal. Only Manchester fans in Yorkshire are from Manchester originally (or from down South for MU)

    That's absolute bollocks.

    I live in Yorkshire and there's loads of match going United and Liverpool fans that are born and bred Yorkshire

    A good mate of mine very kindly gave me his season tickets for our game at United the other week.

    He's born and bred Yorkie, as is @PJS - BACK AND BOSSING IT who's a season ticket holder in the same Stand as me.

    I know loads of Yorkie reds as well, a ridiculous comment that.

    I never said that Huddersfield fans one day would support Bradford the next. All I said was that Huddersfield have done brilliantly to attract 21,000 fans given the size the town and competition nearby - compare that to the South Coast where large swathes of fans don the colours of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham. This contrasts with the fantastic pride fans in the North take in their local teams.

    Bollocks to your bollocks, I'm born and bred Yorkshire. Vast majority of born and bred support local teams, all I ever hear is about Wednesday, Sheff Utd or Rotherham, since thats where most of the people are from.
    Only Manc fans I know are from Mancland (or parents from Mancland) or from somewhere else, usually down south.

    btw Liverpool ain't Lancashire

    It might not feel like Lancashire as Liverpool has its own feel and uniqueness, but historically it is part of the old Lancashire. And this is recognised by Lancashire CCC.

    Love your user name!! Roger Hunt, one of the greatest strikers in the history of football, certainly in the 60s. Played a different role for England than in the Liverpool shirt.

    So you are a born and bred Yorkshire man supporting Liverpool?
    Kind of goes against you local team argument a bit.

    Careful Diego!! With your user name you should be a supporter of a La Liga team!!! I think Roger can be forgiven as many guys in the 60s identified with a certain player or club at the time, and have stuck with them since so he is not a plastic.

    Can we all agree that huddersfield is a rugby area so the football only got its ground due to that. Thats a bigger draw.

    Then you don't get out much. I pass bus loads of Yorkshire United and Liverpool fans every week on my way to the match ffs. To say that all Yorkshire based United fans aren't from Yorkshire is absolute bullshit

    I have read Roger's reasoning so he has a legitimate reason for supportiing L
    Your father was a great admirer of Roger Hunt.
