On a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being easy, 10 being extremely difficult and 5 being average, how hard is it supporting your club?
Cardiff - With the threat of administration threatened annually, being hated by everyone for being the only Welsh team in the division (pre- Swansea) as well as being forced to sell, I#d say it's a struggle.
However, recently, we've been playing nice football and made it to an FA Cup final, which leaves me at a hefty 8/10 for difficulty.
This makes no sense, in reality because supporting a club is easy, you just... support them but they way you put it, probably 8/9 because we have the backing a rich board but at the moment they're not doing anything with it.
You support QPR?Quote:

Before that, well, we were only known for finishing just above the relegation spot each year in the basement division. The fact that most fans of top-flight teams have probably only heard of us because of (Sir) Jimmy Glass says it all!
Dunno how I'd rate it, though. You could say it's difficult because we are never a mid-table side, we are always up challenging at the top, or languishing near the bottom in a relegation battle.
I dunno.
I love Chelsea, but there are hard times 88th minute and you are 2-1 up the next 5 minutes are so painful. But recently we've had some great times, I couldn't give a rating but there are many highs and low points of supporting a club.
No, Doncaster.
About 8/10 for southend.
There in essex and im in kent and the only game ive seen for them was At Gilligham for a away game.
But i keep update with them and i regulary check out southend united forums and stuff.
I also got a signed southend shirt today via ebay so i still keep involed with them.
I wouldn't say it's difficult to support Cardiff. I've been going down for about the last 10 years. At these times, Cardiff were going places. I know Cardiff did get relegated one year but they have had 2 promotions. It's hard being a team from Wales because everybody hates you. Everybody tries to get at us which, really, is one of the reasons why Cardiff have such a bad name for themselves. I travel to every home game. I have to either catch the train for 40 minutes then have another 20 minutes to the ground or I go in the car for 20 minutes. I travel to a lot of away games and, although, we never win on the road, I wouldn't say it's difficult. The passion for football drives you to see the game however good or crap your team might be. It's frustrating being a Cardiff fan due to the fact that the club sell all their best assets then get nowhere in the league.
Also, I support the Welsh national team. They aren't exactly the best team in the world but I still go to every home game and the occasional away game. But at the moment, Welsh fan are being given hope with the fact that the Under-21s are good and a progressing.
Quite easy tbh, i'm from leeds but support villa. No rivalry there tbh, anyway not everyone knows I support them, but it seems easy. I wouldn't go into school in an astonvilla shirt though lol
Id say 10 for rotherham united as we have been in administration twice in not many years, not really come out of league 2 and recently moved from milmoor to don valley which is in sheffield (bit bad as its more bus cost and more violence)
Hard supporting Chelsea? At least teams like that aren't stuck in the lower leagues of English football.Quote:

Sunderland is usually alright. Well, last season was fine but we're a bit of an up and down team really. where I come from though is mainly Leeds United so theres not much mick taking or rivalry really.
8 out of 10.
I can't say its easy supporting Manchester United as theres always some kind of pressure.
For example, when Ronaldo missed the pen in the champo league final - it was tough, alright but overall, 4/10.
8/10 .. Leeds. ;/
8?! what was i thinking. I meant 6.Quote:

5 for Grays Athletic.
non league teams aparently don't count as a football team
Well being a Leicester fan at the minute it is very hard for me and other fans of the club, we have just been relegated into the third tier of English football(League One) for the first time ever which does hurt only eight teams still have the satus of not doing this. I am sure Leicester will be straight back next season, yesterday we appointed Nigel Pearson as our new manager. He Managed Southampton last season and got them the win which sent us down. I've never known a team to be relegated on 52 points before which is shocking. Leicester being relegated only sank in on monday when the new fixtures came out seeing some of the teams we will be going to and grounds has hurt me, only 8 years ago we are playing Uefa Cup football I guess the same goes for Leeds United.
I feel for the teams like Luton who have been giving another points deduction. The FA need to sort them selfs out there killing football, I liked going to Luton simply because it is an old ground and the away fans can make some noise the in the Oak Road stand. I just hope Luton do manage to over come relegation this year I would'nt like them to slip into League Two.
Everton
Easy I love the blues, and wouldn't support any other team, so why should it be difficult even if we start playing **** again, they're my team 1/10
It's not hard to support your club, all you do is watch them and keep up-to-dat and hope they do well.
Supporting them properly is a different thing. It's easy for me though, i support my local team.
i dont really care if wolves do good or bad (they are doing excellent at the moment) i will still support them like ive done all my life and always will!
8 - Fenerbache
5 - Swansea City FC (Cardiff FC Sc*m.)
Rather easy IMO. A rich board is for stability...
I meant what football teams do you support.Quote:
