Milfner Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Agree with that. I have a mate who was a glory hunter as a kid and supports United. My group of mates is all Villa, so he gets hammered for it. He does follow them very closely, but goes to more Villa games with me and his family that I reckon he's a closet Villa fan but just won't admit it.

Xela Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'll always be a Villa fan but I simply don't care enough about the club anymore to get annoyed when we lose or play bad. Been like this for a couple of years. Rather watch Rugby Union or Cricket now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm a multi-country footballing whore. Can't pick a decent team though, seemingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 my boss switched from Villa to Man U because he wanted to support and associate with a team that won stuff if he reads VT I can sympathise, it's understandable and I may well follow presuming he doesn't, wot a nob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2012 Changing clubs is very common for teenagers. I am sure you remember at school (a long long time ago) how whoever was winning leagues would get the most supporters. I am sure everyone on here remembers the incredible increase in Chelsea fans around 2003. If you think 2003 was "a long long time ago", then yes. But when I was at school (a long long long long time ago, presumably), no. Didn't happen. Apart from the occasional kid who had moved to Brum from another part of the country, every one with any interest in the sport at all followed Villa, Blues or Albion. No exceptions. I think it was the start of the Premier League combined with Sky TV that started the rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I would rather watch golf than a football match these days. Im really pissed off that im going to miss The Masters because im on my stag-do! The Masters & The Open are my two favourite sporting events One year I plan to go over for the masters, just looks like paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 how do you support a different club. I would suggest that if you can, then you didnt really support Villa in the first place. I cant understand being able to switch of caring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I find it impossible to change clubs. Which is probably why I play off of a handicap of 132. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 27, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2012 Changing clubs? That's an outrage. Only thing worse is a club changing I've often wondered what I'd do in a situation like that. If, God forbid, that started happening in Football, so Aston Villa became something like, I dunno, Durham Villa. Would I still support them? Would it be the same team? Hard to say I guess.

Stevo985 Posted March 27, 2012 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah but I guess the Wimbledon thing was slightly different. Sort of. Didn't Wimbledon effectively die first and the MK Dons formed from their embers, to an extent? I think that's slightly different than Villa just upping sticks tomorrow, in it's current position and moving to the other side of the country.
