Supporting multiple teams: Wrong?

[TheMaraudingDog]

Once I heard about the club's history and where they call home

[Libertine]

Yeah I am not a typical American bandwagon jumper...could have been one of the types which claim to support a team only because they're big, from large cities, they've won a bunch of trophies and have fan bases full of utter pcunts. Not my stylez...

[Tredder]

So Kesmo and Tredder have both been to Reading games?

There's a shock.

Our teams paths have crossed before.

What was it about Readings history that attracted you? As an American Im guessing you appreciated the whoring of the grounds name.

Passionate and knowledgeable fans. Very loyal. In a city which is often overshadowed by its larger neighbor (London in Reading's case, New York and Boston in Hartford's case). Why would I be offended by the chairman naming the ground after himself? He built the damn thing and owns the club...he can call it the Pleasure Dome, or anything else imo, if he would like to. The only thing different I see is that Reading prolly won't have its heart ripped out like Hartford did when we lost our only major pro sports franchise to another city...re: The Whalers of the NHL.

Wow

Loyal Supporters? Reading were average 3,000 in the early 90's.
London isn't Readings neighbour, you should read up on their 'rivals'
The club had its heart ripped out when they left Elm Park.

I didn't think you were as clueless as that Tbf.

[Libertine]

And it was those 3,000 who convinced me. Ok?

And in terms of large urban neighbors...I wasn't talking about on the pitch. I was talking culturally. Besides the distance from London to Reading is 29 miles...which makes London geographically, and in its shadow, much closer to Reading than NYC or Boston is to Hartford. Hell London is closer to Reading than Hartford and Springfield Mass are. Hartford and Springfield are considered "twin (or sister) cities".

As far as Elm Park goes...I know it really devastated some fans that the team tore it down and built the Madjeski. And understand that sorrow. But if the supporters want the team to continue to be economically viable and moving forward in football's 21st century a new ground was needed.

And tbf I always knew you were as much as a pcunt as I thought...

Why do you even post on this board?

What's that got to do with my 3 points?

Because your "3 points" had basically nothing to do with what I was talking about. So in short...nothing, and rightfully so.

[TheMaraudingDog]

My 3 points were in direct response to your reasons for supporting Reading. Then you spout a load of shite about shadows and sister cities. None of that is relevant in England, and Reading isn't a City (would have thought you'd have picked up on that in your research).

I think you should reconsider your choice of team m8 and just stick to an American one. Your lack of knowledge on RFC leaves a lot to be desired and lets be fair culturally you'd never fit in with English football supporters anyway

Duly noted and appropriately filed where it belongs...

[TheMaraudingDog]

And long may your support stay where it belongs.

And one last time...like I actually give a shit about your opinion on the topic.

And now we average 18k. The difference between the two doesn't make the fans not loyal, it makes them not longstanding fans. There is a difference. Actually the fact that we are still averaging 18k despite having been relegated about 4 years ago, shows how loyal our support is.
London is a neighbouring city, idiot.
No it didn't.

[exileinleeds]

Emirate Airlines clearly don't think so....they are sponsoring both teams shirts.

[TheMaraudingDog]

It makes them JCLs and a JCL isn't a loyal fan.

In footballing terms London is not a neighbour.

Erm, yes it did. But i wouldnt expect a JCL to understand that.
