Don’t believe the Sherman’s ever got the TV programme, but I could be wrong

Full disclosure: I used to support a different club when I knew nothing about football. They were flashy, the Premiere League loved them, they always finished well, and I was told by football fans that once you choose your club you're not allowed to change ever under any condition under penalty of...I don't know, what? God Almighty striking me down, presumably.

And yet...

Over the past few years I've come to believe the club in question only cares about turning a profit, and not at all about winning any more cups in any tournaments. They've become stale and boring, no matter what changes are made to the club. It's not that I care that they're not willing League titles or other championships, it's that they have the patina of a dynasty, but I like roller coasters.

I told my son that if Palace beats Man U and my former club loses that day, I would change allegiances and begin to follow Palace.

And here I am.

Hopefully I'm welcome, and my story doesn't trigger ire amongst those who believe "first choice is final choice" in life.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to get to know everyone better.

FFS, am I the only one on here who finds this sort of post Nauseating?

So if we hadn't beat Man U on Saturday you wouldn't have chosen to support Palace. It begs belief.

What happens if we lose to Villa on Saturday? do you start following someone else?

Like Stirling says, to me your football club is a way of identifying with your area, its about family and friendships, its not something to choose based on the last weekends results.

I wish the OP no ill but come on, you stopped supporting your old club because they became "stale and boring" jeez you should have watched the Colchester game!

Those days are long gone and I believe that most of the blame for that lies with Sky

Not really.

The row of seats behind me at Selhurst appear to have different nationalities every week. Sometimes Chinese, sometimes American but more often than not Scandinavian. All seem very nice although often they seem clueless as to what’s going on.

Once we eventually drop out of the premiership we won’t see any of these guys again and it will be left to us ‘locals’ to watch us play the Bristol City’s.
