Do you support your local team? Obviously if you are from Liverpool then this dosent apply to you.
My local team is Dundalk, the team that Stevie Staunton came from. He never actually played for the first team but Liverpool came over to play a friendly against Dundalk and Kenny Daglish watched a reserve match and seen Staunton and the rest is history. (Good luck to him as manager of Ireland)
So what about rest of you, do you still follow your local team? I do even though they are doing really badly in the second division of the Irish league!

No I don't support my local team.
LFC captured my heart, and no other team has a chance. It was love at first sight. I watched us lose 3-0 to PSG (on the TV), and I was hooked. I don't mind telling you that I cried like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee when we only managed 2-0 at Anfield!
The first football match I ever went to - LFC vs Blackburn Rovers in 1998.
The most recent football match I saw live - LFC vs Anderlect in this seasons CL at Anfield.
I may not be able to get to Anfield as regularly as I'd like (which would be every match!), but I certainly go as much as is possible.
I have no interest in any other side but Liverpool. It would feel wrong to me.

Well I'l answer it seriously...
Yeah, I follow my local team. Actually I'm the development manager for the club (waiting for input for the Judge on this lot!!).
We are only a small club but can boast close to 700 registered players. I resiously doubt you'll see us at the next world club championship but if we do and we come up against LFC, I'll have to decide who to support!!! 
Have a look at our web site Kingborough Lions United
There you are Stu...a serious post!!!

Having Anoeta to 5 minutes away walking, I have not a local team further than Real Sociedad. Liverpool is my team when it comes to the world, Real Sociedad is my team when it comes to my country, Spain. Of course when we go to Europe every 5 years or so, I support Real Sociedad.
I like to watch lower categories, though. I sometimes see how my former school team plays (12-13 year lads) also I've watched quite many games with friends playing in lower categories. In the last decade I have been with girlfriends or alone in different stages (sometimes I liked to be alone), and when I hadn't girlfriend I also watched Real Sociedad "B" (yout team, you'd call reserves) on weekends.
While my girlfriends find tolerable me going to Real Sociedad games, they wouldn't understand I also went to the "B" games, and sometimes you can't deny a woman's will.
