I support my team, because when i was growing up in the 70's & 80's, Stoke City fans were Rock Hard, well being as myself is ****ing Rock Hard, That is why The Mighty Huth Rocks, supports Stoke City.
My dad's a Leeds fan, so naturally I didn't want to support them.....
I got into football during France 98 when I was around 6, Shearer was my favourite England player so that's how I started liking Newcastle. I was only young, you just kinda attach yourself to things really. never looked back since.
The "that's how it should be" view is a bit narrow minded to be honest. Sure, it's good to support your home team, but football is a much bigger game than that. It's natural for a club to have supporters all around the country, even all around the world. Surely it's a good thing rather than a bad thing.
You can hardly accuse a Newcastle fan of glory hunting either...
To play devil's advocate, most Man U and Liverpool fans probably have the same story but still get referred to as glory hunters. I don't have a problem with that myself but most 'glory hunters' in reality aren't looking for glory at all, it's just naturally what they're exposed to by the media. Obviously there are some twats who just switch team when the one they've latched onto for a while stop doing well. Those people are glory supporting twats.
People are free to support whoever they like as far as i'm concerned. I don't really care if some random from Botswana or outer *****lia supoorts Man Utd or Exeter, they have their own reasons for choosing that team so who am I to question their choice.
Support who you want.

Brought up Catholic in protestant dominated Scotland at the height of the troubles, primary school one of the 1st in UK to have perspex glass due to the continual brick bombardment even during classes, extended family all followed Hibs but I thought them a bunch of integrating wimps and so joined the exodus outta the east with my older brother and into the cauldron of Provo paradise.
Its all calmed down now thankfully, but I'm still a fundamentalist Tim

My Dad supports them. They are the nearest team to me, and they were the first team i went to go watch when i was 5 years old.
Ha, Luton Town.
...but Ross County are my scottish team, only because of my name.
A bit melodramatic. No?
Scotland's bigotry problem is and was shameful. To refer it to as the "troubles" cheapens the hardships, struggles and loss of life people in Northern Ireland lived with on a daily basis.
Lot of bombs going off in Scotland, were there? Many kneecappings? Bloody Sunday in Glasgow, was it?
Protestant dominated Scotland, you say? There are far more practicing Catholics in Scotland than there are protestants. Church/Chapel figures over the last 30 years have shown this to be a fact.
Troubles, indeed.
Away and ****e.
