How do you pick a team to support? was the question my Great Nephew asked me yesterday i mean where do you begin? he is 12 football mad and loves playing the game as well but still yet to make that big decision.
I told him you will no when you no it is something you cannot really put your finger on it is just a feeling you get like yes this is my club....of course their is the whole family support a club so that should be your team but i no many families like that but their always seems to be one who goes against the grain.
So i asked him which teams do his friends support? maybe that will help and his answer to that did not surprise me as the obvious names were trundled out like Citeh Manure Bindippers and one mate now follows the Gooners because they won the league and he was fed up with Fulham!...of course i made it clear that you can never change the club you support once the decision is made they are your club for life...trophies are fine but being a supporter is so much more and yes its easy when you win things and do well but true support comes when your club is going through harsh times.
So i finally asked who was he leaning towards supporting and his answer made me think their is hope..i had thought all of the obvious ones but nope he has 3 clubs he likes and it is just about making that final step....Brighton Norwich & Brentford...No logic in why but then again is their ever i mean i'm no Cockerneee i was born in the Burbs of Surrey and yet i support our mob and it was never going to be anyone else so i just said to the Lad follow your heart and what feels the best fit for you because he probably already knows it is just making that final big decision.
