Only sort of fixed it, as I still turn up now and again at Wrexham, who are currently being run by a Supporters Trust (and I wish them all the luck in the world as they will need it) but they still have ambition and plans for the future. And also Oxford City, who did “progress"Kernow Yellow" wrote:There you go, fixed it for you."Snake" wrote:I like footy (my main club allegiances vary depending on which division they're in)

Yeah, obviously."Andrewmaha" wrote:International football: follow England rather than Wales
International Rugby: follow Wales (obviously) and whoever are opponents to England.

I'll suppress the urge to respond to the Chelsea / Man City bits. Suffice to say that you make Snake look like a model of one-club loyalty.
Not sure what you're trying to imply about the Cornish, but obviously I'm not of Cornish origin, otherwise I wouldn't be following OUFC around the country. I'm from Oxford, hence the one-club stuff. It's in my blood. I guess it's easier for 'outsider' U's fans to change allegiance, I just don't particularly understand that mentality."Snake" wrote:I thought that the majority of people of proper Cornish origin were a bit more open minded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_se ... t_movement"Kernow Yellow" wrote:Yeah, obviously."Andrewmaha" wrote:International football: follow England rather than Wales

Suffice to say that you make Snake look like a model of one-club loyalty.when it came to who/what they support on a wider scale but you’re a glowing example of someone who either has no pride in your local identity or is so remote from the rest of the UK sporting interests (maybe because of your geographical location) you criticise an interesting thread without making any contribution yourself...
I’m with Andrew on Horse Racing, and I’ll bet you pay to have Sky and the other channels.
Because they are one of a handful of football clubs on my hate list. The last time Oxford United went there they sang “You’ll never come here again"Hog" wrote:If it's EPL you're after wouldn't it have been more convenient to switch your season ticket to Reading?
Would it be tempting to you given the financial promises on offer to the Blueturds (as they are known abroad by their local rivals)? It's like WPL marketing a new home shirt for Oxford United exactly the same as what Wigan Warriors wear."neilw" wrote:Snake, is Cardiff's re-branding an attractive proposition for you?

Who said anything about changing allegiance? I have never lived in Oxford let alone England and yet OUFC have and always will be 'my team'."Kernow Yellow" wrote:

And no, I don't, and have never, paid for Sky television. Partly on principle, partly because it's a lot of money, partly because I'd spend too much of my time watching stuff!
Anyway, sorry you don't value my contribution to the debate. I'm sure Andrew can take the ribbing. I think if you come on here saying 'I support England at one sport, anyone but England in another, I used to like Chelsea but now I like Man City' you've got to expect a bit of stick.
Snake did, and it was him I was addressing in my last post."Andrewmaha" wrote:Who said anything about changing allegiance?
None of this is intended in any way to denigrate your support of OUFC. The point of this thread is to show the different sporting interests people have outside of OUFC, and I was simply drawing attention to the seeming absurdity of your statements about international allegiances."Andrewmaha" wrote:I did also follow Chelsea (but not with any great passion) as a result of the Mourinho effect but that waned when he left.

International football: follow England rather than Wales although this may change if Joe Allen, Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor, and co can turn things around.
