Entirely up to you, it would be completely understandable if you did.

My brother in law is a Leeds fan (originally from Leeds), but is currently a season ticket holder at Arsenal, as he lives in London, his kids were born in London and his son supports Arsenal (and Leeds, because of his dad). All perfectly understandable.

There’s plenty of reasons why people end up supporting clubs, it’s just picking the club you support based on nothing other than their success that misses out on so much of what supporting a football club is all about.
I can't disagree with you OLM. It's just that I find so many on this site, and other fottball fans I have taked to ,come to a false conclusion that anyone living in a particular place who support a club from somewhere else are doing it for plastic/glory reasons. Far from the truth. Christ, I have 20 or 30 mates over here who now support Hull City, who've never even been to England ! Through word of mouth ( me & my rugby union playing best man who's also over here). Just another avenue to get hooked, hardly to seek glory !
Couple of members on here come to mind - Ellewoods and Sydneytiger14.
 
Not acceptable to pour derision is strange I agree.
Tell me, should I support, in any way, shape of form, the pro football team Toronto FC since I've lived here for close to 49 years, as well as support Hull City AFC ?

Yes , especially if you want to go to live games , why not.

I follow Hull City and will support them when the allams leave. Support only comes when you pay money into the club.
I follow Hull FC through the media.

I will take to task anybody following a glory team.
It usually takes the form of "where in Liverpool/Manchester was you born"
They try to justify it by saying their dad was born there.
My response is how comes you don't follow "St.Helens"
The conversation usually ends there.

Hats off to those still attending city matches.

His point is, that most people are proud of the town/city/country they're from and the support of their local club is an extension of that pride. When you take that out the equation and just pick a team from a place that you have no connection to, or affinity with, just because they're successful, then you lose so much of what supporting a football club is all about.

The national team comparison is a good one, if English people supported Germany or Brazil in the World Cup, people would think they were mental, but it's really no different, it's just picking a team that's more likely to win, rather than the one that's yours by birth.

My kids were free to choose their own career path, listen to whatever music they wanted, read anything they wanted, have any politics they wanted, but if they didn't support City, I'd disown them.

Spot on.

After Saturday's game on the HDM Facebook article about crowd trouble, there were plenty of Leeds fans from Hull commenting.

One comment: "All Leeds aren't we" - except this person is wearing a Hull FC shirt, so clearly picks and chooses when they're "all Leeds aren't we".

Another comment: "I'm from Hull and can confirm there's lots of Leeds fans here, myself included"
I ask him: So, who do you support during international matches: Germany? Spain?
He replies: "Seeing as I'm English that sort of answers your question"
I reply: So, if that's your logic, you're saying you're not from Hull?

He just responds with an emoji...

It seems these people are just too stupid to see the irony.

No you're mostly losers from anywhere where self esteem is low

I wouldn’t bother with them.

Call them a **** by all means but you’ll just get wound up by single digit IQ’s trying to get a decent reason why they choose to support these plastic clubs.
 
One of my closest friends is from Gillingham. The Gills are his second team. Guess who’s his first, and the nearest he’s been to there is going through it on the train, by his own admission.

He claims it’s because his aunt used to live next door to Peter Lorimer. I happily say plastic to his face.

That is beyond plastic.
 
I was born and grew up in Leeds, yet support Hull City. Does that make me weird?

Of course my Dad and all that side of my family are from Hull - my Dad was a mad lifelong City fan. Recall it was when I was about 9, circa 1985 when I first started taking an interest in the team.

My Dad didn't even encourage me to support City when I was young - he preferred to encourage my independent thought rather than just copy him. But I suppose I did so out of family importance really, especially after being taken to my first game around 1987.

I do remember his words to me though - "I don't care who you support, as long as it's not Leeds". <laugh>
