Tom8558 Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Someone I know, who supports Pompey, says that because I was born in Winchester and not Southampton, I'm not supporting my local team and thus am a glory hunter. He will not accept an counter-arguments that I have given so far so I was wondering whether any of you would have anything that would shut him up.

Pompey supporters are not worth argueing with cos they're ignorant c**** and you don't need a reason to kick one in the balls anyway...should be a reflex action.

Minty Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I was born in Hythe. Should I support Hythe and Dibden only? Or maybe AFC Totton, a bit further, but not as far as Southampton? I didn't realise there was a rule about what club we should support. Just ignore him.

pap Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 The Skate is an idiot, and unless he was born in the Fratton Park bogs, there is probably some tinpot pub team that is closer to him than Portsmouth FC. Why doesn't he support them? I would suggest finding out which area of Pompey he is from, search for a more local team than Pompey, and tell him that he should be supporting them instead. See how he reacts when he has to turn up to the Paulsgrove FC* *(No paediatricians) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70's Mike Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 following the Skates logic, most of their supporters should support Havant(Leigh Park), Fareham or Chichester. although looking at their attendances at Fratton maybe they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support my local semi pro club AFC Totton and of course Saints. So you can support Winchester City & Saints. Its finding the time to watch both that could be the problem!

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 Hmmm, tough one. I was born in Winchester Road, Bassett, about ten (twenty?) minutes walk from the Dell; my father played for the Saints and so my natural priorities were to support them. I lived in Winchester for 20 years and coached one of the City teams and refereed in the Winchester and Hampshire leagues and so supported City when i could. I lived in Sholing for a while when I was young. Should I support them as well? Oh and from the age of 5 until I got married I lived in Kent with Millwall as my nearest team. Bugger, I've forgotten my train of thought. Just kick the skate in the pods and tell him to do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 I was born in Chandlers Ford in Eastleigh and grew up there - but have lived in Winchester for over 10 years now. I've always supported Saints and I am the third generation of my family to do so. My dad also played youth football for Saints back in the day. And I'm always bumping into my cousins in and around St Marys on matchdays so for me it's a family thing. I was born to it! I have a soft spot for both Eastleigh and Winchester City though. My brother-in-law is a Pompey fan but he now lives on Botley - he son was born in Southampton much to his disgust! Does that make him a Saints fan? Saying that my nephew does have a season ticket at St Marys with me and my Dad! He also goes to games at Fratton Park with his dad. He's got both Pompey kits and Saints kits - a Pompey duvet cover and Saints pyjamas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remind him that Calais Park Rangers would be more likely to get my support than that horrible bunch. Winchester City are crap btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your skate mate admits we're winning things and thus are worthy of glory hunting status?? i's counter that anyone who supports a club through two relegations cannot be defined as plastic... and then I'd ask him where his season ticket is and where he was born.

He will not accept an counter-arguments that I have given so far so I was wondering whether any of you would have anything that would shut him up. Another friend of mine, who supports Saints, kicks him in the balls everytime he says this. support ? support ! I always think of non-league teams in the area, as "little-brothers" in a manner of speaking. I have relatives in Salisbury and always looked for their results when they were doing so well with Nick Holmes at the helm, and hope they can regain their former status. Eastleigh have done well in the years that Doddsy and Hughes have guided them, hope they can move up next season. Totton (though lowly) seem to have taken their league by storm and I hope the success continues. If you live in the area, and don't travel to away games, then support your local team. They need the revenue, I'm sure. In days bygone when there wasn't the same deadly rivalry between Saints and Pompey, fans would often go to the Dell for home games and to Fratton... when we played away. That must have taken some courage..or maybe... they were just supporting another local side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest, I usually get around to looking at the Aldershot results..and indeed Farnborough who were in a play-off place in their league, but I read the original thread as the "local connection, in which case Eastleigh and Totton are literally bordering on Southamptons municipal borders, whereas I've only been through Aldershot on a bus on my way to So'ton.

SNSUN Posted 10 May, 2011 Share Posted 10 May, 2011 Load of old ********. I've never lived in Southampton, was born in Ascot (I don't even know if they have a football team), although my parents lived (still do) in Windsor. So maybe I should support Windsor and Eton FC, but I was encouraged to support Southampton in 1989 and I've been loyal to them since. Glory Supporting? Hardly. We've had more to cry about than cheer in the 22 years (17 actively) I've been supporting Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSaint Posted 10 May, 2011 Share Posted 10 May, 2011 Like most people from Fareham, I and my 3 sons were all born in Portsmouth (for 3 of us it was Fratton) as it's the quickest maternity unit to get to' we all support the Saints and dislike Pompey wi a passion. I think it's irrelevant where you were born as it's usually just the locality of an NHS Building. Family connections are far more important and that's why I started to go to the Dell each week from 1973 till presen t:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
