Here you go ellewoods - I remember you responding to me for the same question Plum just asked.
Likewise Erik's question fron Dec 22 2012

Erik asked:
Ellewoods, in spite of our earlier spat I'd like to ask you a question. Are you a City fan because you are originally from the East Riding, because of friends/family who are from the area, or because you were a fan of football anyway and just happened to realise that we're the greatest club in the land?
ellewoods response:
I have friends who are from Hull. Which is kinda how I became a fan. I am a huge spots fan and one of the sports I have always followed was english football (hockey and baseball as well). My buddies and I would go to bars on Sunday and Saturday mornings to the irish or english pubs to watch. Everyone I knew was a fan of fulham, man u or arsenal. Around 2006 I decided that I wanted to follow my own team as opposed to just cheering for whoever I felt like that week. One of my friends at work was from England and I was telling him this vision I had for a team and city that I would support. I had actually thought a lot about who I wanted to support because with me the decision to support a team really would be a life long decision. I listed off all these qualities and criteria to him for this imaginary team I had. After a couple minuets of me talking he said that strangely enough the team I wanted to support was his team and the city he was from. So he sent me a couple forum links
wished me years of disappointment like he had had, he gve me the clubs website and I bought setanta and started watching. So I am probably the only person who actually picked to support city, and who picked them before 2008.
Sorry for going off on you. I dont know why that comment irked me. Apologies.

Editorial comment from me:
That comment your friend from Hull made "
wished me years of disappointment like he had had" should have given you insight into the sardonic sense of humour of lads from Hull.
Happy Yorkshire Day !
