Speaking of out of town fans a guy in my local supports MK Dons. The supporters group over here has about 10 members.
Fair play though they travel over a few times a season to watch them

Why MK Don's?

That is all you can ask, mate - doing your best in the circumstances.
My own support / fanaticism is far from absolute, like, realy far but I do my best in my circumstances.

I also “support” the Green Bay Packers, a very successful NFL team - I chose them because they had a great QB at the time in Brett Favre. I absolutely went into that knowing they were one of the better teams and would have quite a few winning seasons.
I admit I am an NFL glory hunter. What I don’t do is bang on about trophies they won to say a Bills fan who has never seen his side lift the Super bowl but has been to watch them live 20+ times - I’ve seen Green Bay live once. I enjoy watching them, I banter with mates who support other sides and are as plastic as me and I celebrate big wins. But faaaaack me I don’t feel superior to anyone because Green Bay have won 4 Super Bowls and the Bears have only won 1

But that's you. You do you. Others take it differently and are genuinely attached, following a club all their lives. People who have never been to England get into fights over English football. You wouldn't fight anyone's because of the Green bay Packers, would you? Well, not everyone is like you. And the NFL isn't like football.
You can't be a glory hunter because there is no local NFL league you could have followed instead of the NFL. Of you like American Football then what choice so you have but the NFL. Even if there was a local league the quality would be so sheet you'd still end up following the NFL. That's the way it is now with everything, not just sport, because the world is so much more connected than it was when these fandom rules about going to games and who can mock who were formulated. They were formulated in an age that has passed by already and we're borne out of circumstances at the time, when newspapers and the evening news was all there was and only one or two games televised, is at all. They've been overtaken by events IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We all get the game is global and the world is smaller.
But that doesn't mean all fans are equal. Some glory hunter mocking Spurs' trophy record is to me like a virgin, who loves watching p0rnos, mocking someone else for only having s3x every now and then.
I get that not everyone has access to games....in which case wind ya neck in mocking fans who have a broader supporting experience which isn't centred solely on watching your team win trophies on TV (which is the experience of the vast majority of football fans).
