Between Liverpool and united.
A lot of it depends when you started supporting them too. If you started supporting Chelsea in the 80s or 90s then fair enough. But if it’s after 2003- you’re a glory hunter

What about if you're 15, lived your whole life in Fulham, your dad supports ManU, but grandad supported Chelsea because he lived up the road?
This whole thing turns into a grand game of Mornington Crescent.

What makes me giggle are the match threads for 'home' games.
--------------
I personally don't get why you would comment on here whilst watching the game, an actual thread itself is hardly an issue though is it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree, how on earth can you watch a match properly and post?

How about getting down to a game

I've found my support actually getting stronger since SAF left and the good times have somewhat left.
This is a good point actually. My grandad was a utd fan from ireland, and at 4 y/o we were going to game between utd and Chelsea, he asked me hopefully who i thougt would win i replied- The blue team. In the days up to the game he bought me a Chelsea shirt(probably a knockoff) which i wore with pride every day for a whole summer. That was in 1964/5 since the n we have had some baaaaad times and some good but i remember the 71 fa cup defeat of Leeds as my most exciting afternoon ever. Finally we had won something.
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was 1970 not 71 and it was a Wednesday night in a replay, not on an afternoon!

------------------------------------------------------------
So by your reckoning people born 14 years ago, in Clapham, Battersea, Puntney and up the Kings Road, to Chelsea supporting families are glory hunters?
Born in Birmingham, 15 minutes walk from the Vanilla ground.
However Chelsea was the very 1st club I ever heard of as a 5 year old, after my dad showed me a picture of the squad with Tambling, Bridges, Venables, Bonnetti, Cooke, Harris, McReadie, Hollins, etc.
I liked the name pure and simple and told my Vanilla supporting dad I was going to support Chelsea.
Despite his best efforts to persuade to Claret and Blue I would not be swayed. TBF to him he always took me to St Andrews, Vanilla Park and The Hawthorns when they came round.
By 15 my parents allowed me to go to Stamford Bridge for the 1st time on my own (Luton Town (h), Nov 74, won 2-0). I had a paper round and pocketed all my school dinner money and had enough to go down once a month.
By 75 I left school started as an apprentice electrician and went to every game home and away (bar about half a dozen) for ten years, visiting such illustrious stadia as Bootham Cresent, Blundell Park, Edgar Street and Boundary Park in the league, until joining the Navy and subsequently getting married curtailed my visits.
Were does that put me on Joey Bartons scale of glory hunters?
Some real talk there Brummie, The little kangaroo can't say nothing to you!!
Some fantastic times Stringer, I wouldn't trade them for anything!
I've had girlfriends come and go changed jobs but the one constant in my 58 years has been my love for Chelsea!
I've never set foot in Manchester, but my grandparents emigrated from there, and I've never known anything but Manchester United. That was it, and when I was a kid I wanted to be Georgie Best. Well, I couldn't play like him, but I gave the drinking a fair shot. If that makes me a Glory Hunter, so be it, I really don't care, because there's never been another team for me. I remember when we were mediocre in the 1970-80's, but we had a few cup wins if I remember.There's going to be some terrible years to temper the great years, otherwise it's not sporting.
I've never left London (the small village on Mars, that is) and I started supporting United after they wrapped up the league title on Sunday with a historic victory over Wibble Ham United.

It's a tough one really. I don't think it's that simplistic and historically then geography will always play a part. Sometimes an individual can be the reason why you support a team though, especially if you're young.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is exactly why I started supporting United. 1991, 8 years old, was supposed to be in bed sleeping but I turned on the TV in my room to watch the football. United were playing in Europe and Lee Sharpe was mesmerising. From that moment United were my team.
And in 1991 it had been 24 years since we had won the league, so you can't level "glory hunter" at me.

"So it's okay to be a glory hunter if your dad or granddad was one?"
This sort of comment sums up the brainless section of football fans.
Do you even know what a glory hunter is?
Quite simple:
It's someone who chooses to support a club because they want to follow a club who wins things.
So if the child supports a club because his or her Dad does, then by definition they're not glory hunting, are they?
Engage brain.

Glad to see you contributing with your usual sense of self importance/ ignorance Winston. My guess is someone who isn't filtered by this loser will respond and then Winston will spend the next two days arguing a point before contradicting himself about 12 times.

Is Winston Stretty's other profile? Or are they just kndred w@nkers?

Not sure why anyone feels the need to justify the club to support to anyone.
For some reason it is the sport where this glory hunter garbage comes up mostly from those who are bitter about the failures of their club.
Support who you like.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite. Pretty sure this is unique to football (in the UK at least), and possibly F1. Can't think of any others off the top of my head. Presumably it's down to the huge popularity of both.
People do go to some lengths to "justify" their choices. And get proper shirty should someone question their made-up "qualifications". It's amusing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is something I struggle to understand to be honest.
My whole family supports Utd, even my dearly departed Italian mother although she was a Milan fan as well.
My sister supports Arsenal and we've never lived in London and they do not even live in the UK.
It is all a lot of nonsense to be honest and it is usually brought up by people who want to put other people down due to their own personal issues.
I see it in F1 as well with the teams but I am British + Italian but do not like McLaren or Ferrari.
I like drivers from all over the place for their skill behind the wheel, not because of what flag they race under.
Some guys from other countries support clubs because their countrymen play for them which is why you see a lot of Chelsea and Arsenal fans in Nigeria where they even have established supporters clubs.
Barton and the people making this argument are stupid.
Melbourne Red. Do The Sharpey Shuffle (U5417)
Do you actually disagree with my point or are you just here to behave like a child?
Winston is excellent at going on the wind up. I should have engaged my brain yesterday to realise this.
The Candlestick Maker (U8959)
There's no wind up.
I am explaining a simple point.
If you don't understand then that's your issue, not mine.
Why don't you run along and tell a Nottingham Forest fan who has never seen a whiff of success for his club that he's a glory hunter?
Good lad.
