Why 'fans' that abandon lower league loves for more glamorous neighbours are bound fo

[MYU]

Despite not being a religious person myself, I do believe that an acquaintance of mine is bound for hell.For the purposes of discussion, we’ll call this acquaintance ‘John’. I’ve known John for about nine years. For eight of those years, he supported Millwall. But in the past 12 months, he’s changed his allegiance to Arsenal.Allow me to paint you a picture. John wasn’t the kind of bloke who hid his football fancies under a bushel. The first time I met him he was wearing a Millwall shirt – a...

I'd argue that Millwall aren't a proper football club that you'd support - more of a 'badge of honour'. I wasn't at the Wall game, but it sounded like their 'fans' were more interested in us; than watching any football that may have been taking place.

Sounds like the bloke has an ounce of decency inside him and made the switch.

Often remember while working in a pub I heard two blokes, one being Spanish, discussing who they supported and that one lad had swapped teams, as he ,moved areas.

The Spanish bloke went mad and he made a rant which included:

"I have changed my women, my clothes, my hairstyle, my house, the country I live in annd I am still and Athletco Bilbao (sp?) fan & even think if I changed my gender i would still suport them"

The other bloke was silent. I just stood there and thought yep I agree!!!

It would be impossible for me to support another in the way that I do QPR.

But up until I was 12 i absolutley hated football, and for some reason i then began to get interested and my dad took me to loftus road and I was hooked from then on.

Its unbelievable how much football takes up of my life now, considering I used to hate it!

QPR always!

I switched from United to QPR, as a kid growing up in Ireland all my mates were either United or Liverpool, but as i got older i realised i had no real love for the club and as my dad has been a life long R fan i had always kept an eye on the goings on a Loftus Road and it became apparent that this club represented more than just football... best decision i ever made to start following QPR and despite all the recent shennanigans i wouldnt ever revert to any other club....
