Notts, not Mott's!
Second team
Like wise Ando....just to clarify my post, Chelsea actually became a thing for me as a 7 year old watching them beat Leeds at Old Trafford in the 1970 F.A. Cup replay, loved the kit and Osgood's header at the Stretford End packed with Chelsea fans before Webb won it. Started going games from 77, first game Blackpool away, real eye opener and i was hooked, followed them home and away when not watching North End till 92, Chelsea always had a huge following......I could write a book about the people i met, travelled with and match day 'experiance' ........ there's an idea 😉
Anyway sod them now UTWs
Mice one 🤪
Yeah, I’m the same Scally , started liking them in 1970 when they played Leeds in the final on that dreadful pitch at Wembley and skipped cubs on the Wednesday night so that I could watch the replay….
My most interesting memory of following them was when their fans were banned from going to away matches but about 200 northern based fans ( me included ) went to Bolton… it was a bit scary post game outside the ground !!
Being a born and bred Prestonian (Penwortham & largely Lostock Hall) i am PNE through and through as are my kids (& now some of the grandchildren)
However having also lived just over half my life in Morecambe (33 yrs Preston & 34 Morecambe) i and especially they, do have an affinity with Morecambe.
We are PNE Season ticket holder but rarely do North End away games unless they are very local so we do go to the Globe Arena if it doesn't clash with North End and therefore are ALMOST as invested in their results.
In respect of the 'Premier' League i have always quite liked Everton since the 1966 FA Cup Final (Mike Trebilcock 2 - Dereck Temple 1) when Everton came back to beat Sheff Wed 3-2 ( How Wed have fallen!).
However i am hardly 'gutted' if they lose like with PNE or to a lesser extent Morecambe.
Personally i think you can only have a 'real passion' for one Club, although you can have an affinity to another, if you have a specific reason to (Like moving long term to a Town/City).
In respect of 'picking' a Team, a Manure, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool. The people who i know who pretend to be 'Fans' of these maybe go to the Pub to watch or have sky, but it doesn't ruin there weekend when they lose (if they do 😀 )
