Why on earth can't people support two (or more) teams? I have ties to two major cities in the UK and have lived in Carlisle for many years. I go to Carlisle matches on a semi regular basis and class myself as a supporter. My town of birth is Manchester and support them although rarely go to matches despite being a one time season ticket holder. Mostly this is down to geographic location but work and family commitments play a large part too. Then we move to Newcastle, my parents town of birth and a team I have a massive allegiance too. I last saw Newcastle play four years ago and have no plans to visit in the near future for similar reasons as Manchester although admittedly geography plays less of a part. I could not count how many Newcastle games I travelled to as a child or Manchester games I saw as an adolescent.
My support from Carlisle stemmed from my inability to travel to other clubs once I moved to this city. I adopted them and see about one third of the home games each season. This does not impede my love of my other to clubs nor does the fact that I watch them from an armchair stop me being a supporter. When Manchester & Newcastle play each other I have no conflict of interest, it makes a magnificent spectacle although at times it can leave me feeling both elated & deflated, generally I savour every second of the game from my armchair (or barstool),
For those of you who say you can not support both teams, I disagree. For he who says a home fan is not a supporter I say grow up.

It doesn't really matter who wins tonight as long as a)it's a good game from both teams and b)the small minority of troublemakers behave in and around the match!
Have a great evening!
P.S. Go Blues!!!

Cannot of been me, although I support Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, I follow Saint Etienne in France!

Beccy is a fanatical Carlisle United supporter & season ticket holder. She attends every single home and away game and has done for years, despite having to travel literally hundreds of miles. Her loyalty to Carlisle United can't be questioned - she is a true blue & of course she wants Carlisle to win tonight. I think she's entitled to support a Premiership team too ... Enjoy the game Beccy!

Don't get people who support multiple teams. I once knew a lad who supported a team in every league in Europe mostly because they were all top of their leagues at the time.

Every weekend me and a close friend are always having banter about the many Clubs we both support around Europe and the world! Be it a match over in Uruguay or in La Liga.

I support Bayern Munich in Germany - I even have a pair of "Munchen" trainers. He supports Hannover, can't wait till they clash, we always have a pint on the outcome of the match!

Following different teams expands the mind - I thought Colo Colo was a drink until my mate taught me who they were.

No idea why people support two teams.

I remember at Uni someone asking me "who my team was?", and i said "Carlisle United", he followed by asking, "who my BIG team was?", again i said "Carlisle United". The look he gave me was i mixture of bemusement and denail. Think he was a Chelsea or Arsenal fan from Warrington. He didnt understand.

I am a big Carlisle fan and looking forward to the game, unfortunately i live in London so can't make the game. I really don't understand how a story about a girl who once went to a Spurs game makes headline news.

Probably the biggest non news worthy story i have ever read. I have been to a Spurs game and live only a short bus ride away, can I be in the story as well!

Up the blues

Get in to em and let's hear that famous Brunton ROAR again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
