He's from an era where everyone supported Liverpool. When I was younger everyone supported United but most seemed to grow out of it. Only the feckless support a club because they are glamorous or win stuff whatever' the era and loads do not grow out of it. If everyone was like that we'd only have about 4 clubs in the country and guess what we wouldn't be one of them. Gloryhunters deserve nothing but contempt. A cancer to clubs like us. Also who the f**k are United? There are loads of teams with that name.[\b]Massive pet hate of mine

This is true BUT anyone who supports Learpaul when they have absolutely zero connection with the place is a gloryhunting parasite. Sadly there are thousands of such feckless twats in this city. He's from an era where everyone supported Liverpool. When I was younger everyone supported United but most seemed to grow out of it. When i was younger we'd only bother befriending either gasheas or neutrals, was unthinkable to waste time with anyone else . The liverpool supporter in our street was a lonely fecker

TBH I don't have any problem with anybody from Bristol saying they support a top team as most of them never actually visit the teams proport to support. Some just say they suppport a big club to make themselfs look bigger or because they think they are too good to watch an average local side. Then there are others who don't like all the rivalry of supporting either us or the sheet. End of the day they are still football supporters at least you have something to chat with them about if you find yourself in a room full of near strangers or inlaws.

Very true I supported Liverpool ,Tottenham and Arsenal as a kid but always supported Rovers more.. Not Blackburn by the way x UTG

Sports Direct tragically sell more Liverpool shirts in Bristol than they do in Liverpool! I feel sorry for these Liverpool "fans" I'm always seeing grown adults fully clad in Liverpool merchandise even though they've had no real sustained success for donkeys years, pretty sad really.

when Terry Connor was the coach under John Ward, his desk and work area was fastooned with Leeds United scarves, mugs ,team photos and general memorabilia. I was surprised to be honest but no-one seemed to mind

You are correct Justin they don't even know where Manchester or Learpaul is but that is the reason in my opinion that we should have a problem with them especially those that take the water out of people who support their local clubs because "they're sh**" . These people are the reason that the top clubs will always be the top clubs and the rest of us hardly get a look in. Have you seen the latest American led idea of a new European Super League to replace the champions league. This league though will not be based upon football merit but invitation based on how many glory hunting fuckwits (in places like Bristol) you have support you, so the likes of Leicester won't be invited. Them having a great chance of winning the league sure has upset the rich and powerful who will now have to re invent the rules. Gloryhunters are Cancer of the game because if everyone was like them there would eventually be no football. Think it through!

Greedy owners of the big clubs sure they don't give a f**k about the game as a whole but we as fans shouldn't be accepting of the big clubs getting bigger because of the massive support they enjoy from people who are so Dam feckless that they have to support a club that wins stuff or is fashionable rather than for other reasons. These people are not in the minority. Look around Bristol for example I bet there are more people who follow Manchester or Liverpool than Rovers and City.

I wonder how many people in the Leicestershire area who are Liverpool/man utd/arsenal/Chelsea etc supporters from when Leicester were either in lower leagues or just struggling in the prem are secretly binning their footie shirts and declaring they always loved Leicester city....

It was the quarters that did it for me and made me a Gashead. I've lived in Liverpool the past 32 years. We actually prefer attending Rovers games over Liverpool games these days, there's more passion. Back in the 80's Liverpool FC and its fans seemed the real thing, nowadays Liverpool FC feels like a money-making machine, with fans taken for granted (yes, I know, that's true at most clubs, to an extent).
I've no connection directly with Bristol, lived my first 18 years in Weymouth. I remember visiting Bristol Zoo in 1965, where a llama spat at me hitting me in the face and a large gorilla in a small cage was seated on its haunches and rocking backwards and forwards - that memory still haunts me today, half a century on. Bristol seemed still war-damaged then with plenty of bomb sites still, more so than Weymouth.
Sometimes we watched the Terras for free standing on the railway embankment above the Rec, but Weymouth has never really been a football town. The biggest rivals were Yeovile (Dorchester would have been, but they played in a lower league so we rarely played them). Nearest league team Bournemouth (yawn), half-way interesting teams we would have to gone to Exeter, Bristol or Southampton. We were water-poor, so that was never an option. Because of the similarity of the club colours, I followed (and still do) Aston Villa and West Ham.
Then, some time in the early 70's, I watched a televised game between Rovers and City. Can't remember the score or which ground, but loved the quarters (even on black & white TV) and became a Rovers supporter. I followed Rovers from a distance for many years, and when my son was of an age, planted the seeds of him supporting an authentic footballing team, and we started attending Rovers games at the Mem in 2007/08. So two Scousers, one an adopted son of the city and one born & bred, both massive gasheads now. We've even made my Liverpool-raised wife a gashead, and she doesn't even really follow football.
I hope this doesn't make us plastic, glory-chasing gasheads, not after what we've endured over these years.

Absolute respect to you man but the issue that is destroying the game is people who choose to support a club because of glamour and glory. No one who supports Rovers is a Gloryhunter no matter where they are from, no matter where they live.
