Switch of Allegiance

[Dusic]

Obviously not something that is taken lightly but end of the day its painful being so shite and to a certain extent is a choice that we expose ourselves to this kind of mental load.

So, if you were to just fuck it and switch, who would you move to support instead for the next few years of expected wilderness before making Saints your primary again if we march to an upward curve?

Personally I live near Brighton these days but there is a big disconnect between their legacy fans and those who think Pascal Gross is their best ever player so they are ruled out.

To spite, I think I would go Palace. Pretty PL settled so unlikely to be a direct rival. Good Holmesdale forum. Easy to get to a few games a season, better chants and Punch played well for them too. 

Will probably see how the rest of this season goes but if its dire, SR stay and Glasner cooks with CP then an easy switch to make and can swap back if fortunes reverse.

I can't imagine doing such a thing regrettably.

Okay. Bye.

Oh please F off, no true Saints fan would utter such drivel… 

[Osvaldorama]

Fuck off 

[sockeye]

That's ridiculous.

If you just want to watch football, there are plenty of non-league sides with more fight than Saints and ticket prices a fraction of the cost of ours...

Best thing is you don't need to 'switch allegiance' to do it.

[LoyalSaintSO50]

Shut up ya big fanny 

[Colinjb]

Behave.

[Baz Fl]

I’ve sometimes wished it was that easy but I can’t and don’t have the same feeling for another club, I can appreciate good football and wish other teams well but it never hurts the same when they lose compared to how disappointing a Saints defeat can be. Once a fan you can’t change loyalty, all we can do is hope this shitshow gets fixed one day and the good feelings return

Just stop supporting a team altogether.

My little bro fulfilled the younger sibling role in all aspects other than deciding to glory hunt and be a United fan around the age of 6.

He saw the light from then on. 

You're telling me that at (what I presume is) an adult age you'd go against what a literal child managed to ascertain was wrong?

Southampton 'til I die. And if you disagree, be gone with ye. Good riddance.

Yeah but ideally someone we won't become a rival of in a couple of years e.g Lewes or Eastbourne Borough.

When I was a kid I sometimes went to watch AFCB if we were away and it didnt ever feel like a rival. I recall their admin and many Saints fans donating etc. Same as the L1 season rivalry with Brighton at the Withdean, was panto stuff but we had a 32k stadium vs a shot put arena.

Yet both of those are now lightyears ahead of us.

Any suggestions of up and coming non league teams that will likely trade places with us but in a less awkward way?

Godalming having a good season, but its a bit far.

I watch/ support my local non League team along with Southampton. I've never felt either was an optional thing, where I could just switch. Stop, yes. But not switch.

You’re embarrassing or a troll. 
 

Either way you should delete your account

If you’re not supporting or at least following the club you supposedly have allegiance to what’s the point? Have a rest - give yourself a break, but don’t expect to receive a positive response to a post like yours from a forum dedicated to the support of one particular club!

Back in the days of Lowe I actually ramped up my interest in Saints and bought my first ST. That ‘investment’ paid off over the coming years as we rose through the leagues again. At no point did I consider switching allegiance and nor should you.

[HKsaint]

If you want to be happy, support Liverpool or Arsenal. Honestly, I tried to follow Hammers because of JWP, but I was disinterested and gave up.

Politely F-off and die for even posting this thread. Arsenal is thataway ---->
