Difficult one. As some posters have also said, I would probably lose interest in football totally, other than the odd game on TV.
 
If Villa had never existed, having parents that came from Aston and Smethwick respectively, I would probably have been a Baggies supporter.

If I still lived in Sutton, and Villa ceased to exist, I would be tempted to support Walsall and/or Boldmere St Michael.

Living down here, I could see me gravitating towards Craven Cottage, although it's a shame Brighton is not a bit closer.

Port Vale.

Mainly because a guy at work is a MASSIVE stoke fan who absolutely despises Vale.

Burslem isn't too bad. Stoke is hell on Earth. They don't even have taxi ranks. Went to a Vale game last year as a bloke at work goes to all of their games.

I do have a bit of a soft spot for Fulham.

Can I throw this one out there. I don't know that I would be that fussed.

I would of course initially be gutted at losing my team but I would I have the desire and energy to start up a new club? Not the way modern football is I don't think.

And it might just be the excuse I needed to start having a big chunk of my life back that I waste at the moment following a club that, like 86 others, feeds on scraps from the top table with only a fleeting hope of very occasional success and then only in competitions the Sky lot can't be arsed with.

Its a sorry state of affairs.

Get together some like minded people to talk to AFC Wimbledon and get a team together. They only had 5000 fans but look where that got them. They also helped FC United as well

Longford Town!

Ah, a trip to Strokestown Road (not often I have a valid reason to mention my hometown on H&V).

It's called Flancare Park now (or the 'Flan Siro' by the diehards!)
