I'm so unlucky. When I picked my team out of the hat, it was bloody Cardiff City :facepalm::shrug::ayatollah:
Thing is, plenty of people just see football as entertainment, nothing to do with where they're born. We're the evangelists, they're the midnight mass crew at Christmas. City winning or losing can change our emotions, can screw up a good weekend, cause an argument, or turn a bad day Into a good day. There's no wrong or right way to enjoy football.Quote:

And yes, I do find that entertaining because I have no emotional investment.Quote:

A lot of the kids in my sons football teams will be Cardiff fans + also fans of a big 6 club, which at least in an improvement on when I was that age when there were jus Man U and Liverpool fans. It definitely has to do with the "reach" of the ultra rich clubs - I'm sure my kids were aware of teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid from chat in the playground long before they knew that Cardiff had a team, or even that they live in Cardiff. Was a similar story in my day too

People will, every so often, post things you don't agree with and have their own opinions on your threads. That's life.Quote:

Yes I did. I guess we will have to wait till Harry goes on the Oprah Winfrey show again to find out his truth about who he supports.Quote:

Why would a kid be more inclined to support Cardiff if they had nobody to take them down? Its hardly like you're full of civic pride at the age of 8
Well there's not agreeing with someone and having an opinion and purposely poking your nose in , which u often do on my and other peoples threads , just to get a reaction . Such as this thread is crap or whatever your phrase is on a particular day. Then when you do get a reaction you cry wolf . You do it all the time , as often as I post about .....shit rock bands .Quote:

According to footballgroundmap there are 68 clubs closer to me in Caerphilly than the CCS. We’re all plastic to an extent, each to their own.
Some people like watching football as a form of entertainment instead of a form of commitment. When he was young Everton were one of the better teams in the country. If you wanted entertaining, high quality football then they were the team to watch. I guess continuously watching them gave him an affinity for Everton and hence he considers himself a supporter.
It’s not like Ninian Park was exactly a welcoming place for new fans back in the day with the idiots and hooligan following we had. And if you enjoyed the sport to be entertained by good football then CCFC certainly weren’t the team to follow.
For some, football is a form of entertainment equivalent to TV, Films, Music, etc. If it’s poor quality they, understandably, would look elsewhere to be entertained.

Only my humble opinion.
You do this rant every so often and it obviously winds you up. Try counselling or cannabis?
They are the same people, just 20 years apart.Quote:

And that’s the catch22, if they ditched their plastic ways or plastic ways didn’t exist perhaps our football wouldn’t be in such a state, our crowds would have been swelled with these other ‘fans’ and we’d be riding high in the top division due to the extra revenue……..meanwhile back on planet earth :hehe:Quote:

It's bloody excellent, scouting for a new team to support.
