    For example I'm from Northamptonshire, always lived there, but my dad is a reds fan from Barnsley, born and bred, and the rest of my family are as well.
    Just wondering if there are many of us?

    Lived in Huddersfield all my life

    But i was born in Barnsley and live right next to a "Welcome to Barnsley" sign. Plus Barnsley town centre is nearer to where i live than Huddersfield town centre.
    My dad comes from Sheffield and supports Wednesday.
    Im slightly odd.

    But then again there were never really any local teams for us to support 'instead' so my mates were all arsenal, liverpool, man u fans...no-one even knew where Barnsley even is!

    best bit of banter ive seen

    was at work. We get deliveries from Wakefield to the Warehouse in Huddersfield. Shortly after we played Huddersfield (Playoffs) we got a load of boxes delivered. On one of them was "3-1 ha ha ha. we are gooing to Cardiff na na na na". My boss found it (Hudders fan) and blamed it on me when it was obviously a Tarn fan in Wakefield.

    where abouts in Hudders do you live?
