Supporting clubs in towns that are nothing to do with you.

RE: I once had

A kagol with Hearts of Midlothian badge on it, wore it at a U2 concert at Celtic park & nearly got killed for wearing it!

 

Born in Barnsley but never lived there

Lived for 6 months in Huddersfield, then Chapeltown until I went to Uni in Nottingham.
Support Barnsley through my Dad. He was born in Nottingham, moved to Barnsley when he was about 12 and started supporting them then.

 

Born in Wakefield my Dad would not let me go to watch Leeds because of all the trouble at the time he said it were a bit rough and they were all nutters.
So he let me go to watch Barnsley, looking back why **** me he why did he let me go to Barnsley but I'm glad he did. I will looking into sky asking to score a goal next Sunday.

 

I played behind Wakey prison a few times when I were a young un.

 

Maybe I should answer this!

I'm a Season Ticket holder living in Glasgow, and I've never lived in Barnsley.

My Grandad used to take me to see the reds when I was younger, and my Grandad has been pretty ill for a long while now, so it was basically a great excuse to spend time with him. As I got older I got more into it and found myself travelling all over to watch Barnsley, and I wouldn't change it for the world, regardless of where I may be from!

 

RE: Flip side - how many supporters were actually born in Barnsley ?
