Wink Re: do you follow the local football where you live?

I've always wondered why people find football so interesting, it's a very simple game played by simple people.

Default Re: do you follow the local football where you live?

I support a number of teams......

ENGLAND (Born and Bred)

LEEDS UNITED (The greatest team to grace this planet) We Are Leeds!!

GREECE/CYPRUS (Cos I am half Greek Cypriot)

FC FAMAGUSTA (My best Cypriot team)

CHELTENHAM TOWN (Where I live in the UK)

BROCKWORTH AFC (Local Village Team)

Obviously this now causes conflict with Leeds and Cheltenham being in the same league but I support Leeds when they play Cheltenham

it is a nice game and the nice thing about it is that everyone can play it all it needs is just a ball. unlike other sports that needs special equipments or special place to play.

so tell me what other sports do you fancy

I call Dubai home now, but I was born and brought up in Aberdeen. Where I come from, you support the team you grew up with. It makes no difference where I go, I will always support Aberdeen.. I just don't have the same emotional attachment to any other team...

..does the "FC" after Aberdeen mean Football Club...or am I deliberately misinterpreting the abbreviation ?
