    It’s definitely fine to support a club that isn’t your local one when it’s passed down to you from one or both of your parents.

    The annoying ones are the ones who choose to support a big club when they’ve no ties to the club.

    Referring to them as ‘we’ & going on about Scousers & Cockney’s when they’re from Barnsley & support Man Utd & never go to Old Trafford for example.

    Blackpool because I was conceived there. Barnsley because they were my Dad's first team. Leeds because they were my mum's first team. Arsenal because my Dad bought me the shirt to get me away from Leeds. Tottenham because they were my Dad's second love after Barnsley and he hated Arsenal and Leeds.

    North of the border. Hibernian because my Dad bought me the shirt for my seventh birthday off Ponty market.( It was that or a Southampton shirt). Celtic because my Grandad bought me the bedding. Motherwell, Aberdeen because John Paul and Anthony had the Beastfair Vaults in Pontefract and I like sheep shagging.
