liverpool fans not from liverpool

Although this is a WUM attempt - there is validity in what he is trying to address - Liverpool fans will write articles about the M1 south being very busy after a game or how Surrey empties every Saturday afternoon - however conveniently forget the thousands of Norwegian fans who fly in throughout a season or the thousands who go to Anfield from Eire every week.
The hypocrisy always amuses me.

YAWN

Thats not a problem, support who you like wherever your from...

Unless you support United then you are a glory hunting plastic!

Why is it hypocritical. The Premiership is the most watched league in the World and will have fans from abroad.

But if you were from England why would you then "support" Man Utd. It is completely different.

I lived in Liverpool twice in my life. It was the first place i moved to from Nigeria in the UK when i was a kid . My family is Scottish and my dad was a Celtic fan who adored Kenny. Kenny moved to Liverpool the year i was born. I moved there 4 years after.

I actually now live betweeen Liverpool and Manchester as i live with my girlfriend who is from Manchester. I have had a season ticket most of my life. Am i a glory supporter?

I am a Red, I live outside Liverpool. Reasons for supporting the team? Simples! In brief three reasons: Kevin Keegan, Crazy Horse and Kenny. Thats it, their performances lit me up. (Even when I visited the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota last week, I was still thinking about Big Em' and his commitment to the Reds). Kenny is the only person I can think of who can return the club to its former prominence. YNWA JimmyTheRed

I was bought an Arsenal pennet when i was very young and also had a Villa top (i think) given to me, however my older brother and his mates supported Liverpool so that was it for me.

Had Johnston, Souness etc posters on me wall and been to Anfield a few times; once a red always a red eh boys!!

Honorary Scouser (I've been told!). From and living in Helsinki, started supporting Liverpool probably at 7-8 years old. My first top was the "Candy" one. See myself as quite passionate and HC red for life, that I don't even have to mention. I might actually hate the mancs more than the locals.. Try to come and see at least a game a season!

All the losers at my school who had no mates to go watch London teams supported Liverpool. A lot of them are coppers and traffic wardens now

Better than being a looting street chav though

If you live in another country then you can choose any team you like. Many people have second teams abroad and Barca/Real shirts are a common site now.

If you come from England you should support the team you first bond with and then stick with it for life. This should be your local team but in modern Britain people move so families are spread far and wide. There are people from every part of the country in every other part of the country so your first football match could easily be in the home town of your grandparents which dare I say is more likely to remain the families spiritual home. It's common sense really but doesn't really allow for a good wum. Sorry 'bout that.

I do know two people who switched to ManU in the 90s but that's just what happens, it happened to us too. Let's be honest, no matter who they support, we all know a plastic when we meet one.
