Priceless comment from a Liverpool fan

Re: Priceless comment from a Liverpool fan

At Euro 2016 we started chatting to a father and son from North Wales in a Bordeaux pub. Turned out they were both Man U. fans. After a shaky start and a few pints we got into a decent discussion about football which ended-up with the dad crying in the pub over a signed picture of Giggs his family had bought him.

It surprised a bit about how passionate he was over his adopted club. Made me think a bit differently about ‘plastic’ fans tbh.

At the same time I’ve lived in England longer than Wales now but could never support anybody but the City. It really is a roots thing for me. We all have our own motivations for following a club I suppose.

Bearing in mind Wrexham would have been a league club for most of the time this chap was growing-up, are you giving the green light for South Walians to go and follow the wurzels there Sludge, in the highly unlikely event they were ever to become a successful club?

I call them the reversible shirt brigade, red, with 3 feathers on and ‘Kill the English scum’, next day turn it inside out and, hey presto, it’s got a Liver bird on and it’s ‘We're the best team in England’.

no, I think the people of North Wales should support Wrexham, and a lot of them do . But its clear many support United and Liverpool, mostly because they are good and because they are an hours drive away . Rock concerts , Shopping , Football , it makes sense that people from a mostly rural area would have an affinity for Liverpool etc as its an hour away

But pontypridd ?

You have to by pass cardiff , Birmingham etc


Its not just a hop over the bridge

I don't really care who people support, life's too short to get wound about about something so silly, but I must admit this lot do annoy me :hehe:
