Who supports a different team from their father?

[ShawfieldAggro]

Noticably a helluva lot of posters have, for want of a better word, 'mixed' families and with comparitively very few apparently involving the Old Firm, does it raise a question that a team being local, or for that matter succesful, isn't anywhere nearly as decisive in how it's perceived people find their club?? Genuinely interested in the strange extremes of split loyalties....in mine, both faither, and maw's da and brother(s) had brief but tainted spells buggering off to watch Stein's mob at their height, but in my lifetime never showed any sustained loyalties beyond being Clyde well-wishers, in my eyes ceasing to be supporters when attending what was at the time a rival club. Maw's uncle is an Airdrie fan from Broughty Ferry, who picked his team at his first ever game at Dens by announcing he'd support the first team out the tunnel. In 65 years, he's missed about two games, and even took me to the Clyde end at Broomfield when the auld man was a bit naughty and kicked oot the hoose. Gentleman.

fantastic. lots of similar eccentric decision making in the lower leagues.

hats off to him for keeping at it for 65 years. Loyalty and tribalism in football cannot really be explained to the uninitiated. If logic came into it absolutely no one would watch League Two football.
