Changing your allegiance?

[Speedwell 🦊]

I’m born and bred Leicester.I did have a very soft spot for Liverpool as a kid and still have,

but It’s LCFC all the way for me.

Yea completely get as a kid growing up supporting one of the bigger teams, but soon as your old enough to have any sense, i don’t get people who don’t support there local club if they don’t already

Changing allegiances would be like divorcing the missus, never going to happen but the thought is sometimes there.

At uni in the mid 90s I dated a girl who was a massive Man U fan. Would go on and on about everything to do with them. We recently became aquatinted on Facebook, and she is now a massive Man City supporter. Go figure. 

That's loyalty for you. Lucky you never settled down with her.

Nah - I've always supported Leicester Tigers, regardless of where I've been actually living, so, I don't think I'll be changing that barring something drastic happening so they no longer exist...

 

Wait, no...

Programmed to support Leicester and England (and hate rugby union) from birth, all other teams can get in the bin. I'd switch to a non league team if Leicester forced me to though.

Been supporting City, my home town club, for 60 years. Always have, always will despite living for the last 27 years in the West Country because of work. Loved going to watch them play at Yeovil, Bristol Rovers and City, Swindon and Cheltenham. Moved back to Leicestershire last Summer as now retired. I've not brought them any luck this season but they have been on the decline for the last couple of years and seem cursed with injuries.

Like knowing you could be ploughing 9/10s to within an inch of their lives every day but you settle for a sad bi weekly handjob just because.

One of my mates was a lifelong Man Utd supporter & Leicester were his second favourite as he lived in Stoney Stanton. When we hit our purple patch under O’Neill we were about 19 & he dropped Man U and decided Leicester were his club. They still are to this day, never been quite sure how I feel about it.

Yeah 19 seems a bit old to change, whats the cut off for changing teams? 16?

My lad is 13 and has a mate who was an Arsenal fan until about 18 months ago, then he defected to Liverpool.

 

I'm friends with this kids Dad who's been an Arsenal STH for over 30 years. He's from Dublin originally and a big Liam Brady fan and he was distraught when his kid changed allegiance from Arsenal to Liverpool.

 

The irony now of course is that Liverpool are struggling and Arsenal might win the league, but this kid hasn't got the balls to switch back again because he'll lose face

Talk about changing allegiance ... 

 

what about all those footballers who change which country they play for? 

 

or footballers who clearly have never had anything to do with a country, and only play for them because of their great-grandad's dog?
