Reserve Team
I glance around the forums and cant help noticing that under some peoples sigs, they've got 'my teams'. Then they state 5 teams in which they follow, all of them big guns and some are even in the same league. What do you get from doing this?
I started following Leeds about two years ago, and to my luck they were champions league contenders and owned half the bloody england team. Two years on, Leeds are struggling at midtable in the football championship, have sold ALL there players and have started from scratch. Might I add that Leeds have had 5 managers since I started supporting them...
My point is, that I am a proud fan and if a random asks me who I follow, I will happily say Leeds United.
So if you support 5 teams, what satisfaction do you get when one of them wins a cup, or qualifies for europe or something? Nothing. Everytime Leeds win a game now I treat it as if we just won the FA Cup, which is not a bad thing IMO. If you support more teams, you expect at least one of them to do well, therefore, it defeats the purpose of following a team because you are expecting them to succeed.
People who support two or more clubs shouldnt be considered as supporters.
