8MileBU Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 What size of radius from the stadium do you need to be within to be accepted as living there? How long do you have to have lived there, and how long since you’ve moved are you allowed to keep calling the team we? What if there are other local, smaller teams closer to where you live but you’ve chosen to support someone just a bit further (e.g. supporting Ayr rather than Troon Juniors if you live in Troon)? Can you call Ayr we?Bit of a minefield this one!Exactly. Why does anyone need to explain their reason for supporting a team? I would say I’m a Spurs fan (albeit I don’t say ‘we’ when referring to them), but my reason for supporting them stems from a time where I wasn’t consciously aware of why I was following a club from another country, nor was I aware then that some c***s get their frillies in a right fucking twist if there’s no family or geographical affiliation etc with a club. I also think it’s a waste of bandwidth having a debate that’ll go round in circles forever because there’s no right or wrong, and is already quite boring. Couple this with the fact that unless they’re a total scrote, nobody’s going to stop supporting, posting or calling their team ‘we’ just cos wee Bairnardo aff the Pie n Bovril doesn’t like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could pick Ipswich Town right now and go up and down to their games. Calling them "we" would never carry any credibility though. Get yourself down to Naaarch and follow the Canaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know that if you randomly pick an English team and you are Scottish, you're not getting away with giving it we. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is genuinely disturbing. The man needs help. He has since deleted the post. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I reckon you are only entitled to refer to your team as 'we' if you have financially supported them throughout your life by buying season tickets, merchandise or whatever. If you are part of any sort of club you are required to pay your dues and are then entitled to refer to it as 'your' club. Only my opinion of course but anyone who disagrees is wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
