Someone who is currently 8 years and is born, raised and still lives in Oxford. All his family are from Oxford and still live there and none of them like football or have ever been to Birmingham but he has realised he likes football and chooses to support Villa, is that allowed or is he a glory hunter as he didn't choose Oxford Utd?

Who shoud he support?A local side to Belfast or a local side to Stourbridge. Up to him.I'm mostly not thinking of people who move around though so let's keep this nice and simple.What about someone who lives in Birmingham and whose dad supports Manchester United even though he wouldn't recognise Manchester on a map?You'd hope they'd support a local team but if they supported Man U you can't really blame them - it's their dad's fault.What if their mum supports someone else?

Support your local team or your dad's team.Anything else is unacceptable.
If you get your team off your parents then you can't really be blamed - your parents naturally influence you.
What if a martian lands in Zambia. Sees football on TV, has no idea what sport is as they don't have that on Mars but loves the game. Is he allowed to support an English club?
Support Villa.
At my place there are plenty of Villa fans (wonder why?), a few glory-hunters and a couple of knuckle-draggers. It would be nice if this initiative (as good as it is) was extended to neighbouring areas.
My brother-in-law, who has had absolutely feck all interest in football in the ten years I've known him, is taking my six year old niece (who also has shown feck all interest in football) to the Villa/Chelsea game this weekend because she was given a free ticket at school. He's had to pay for his. And now he's gone and bought two scarves, a flag and a fecking teddy bear for her. She was even singing "Veela, clap-clap-clap, Veela..." to me the other day I hope she fecking hates it and wants to leave after ten minutes. Which I'm convinced she will.
