Alexander Litvinenko TBM When i was a kid before my Dad started taking me to Reading games i used to look through the Panini sticker book and one day chose "my team" - that team was Charlton........cos i liked the sword on their badge
All kids do something like that - changes of teams are not unusual before the age of about 13 or so. But after that the club you support tends to stick with you for life.
Unless you're a shallow, mindless glory-hunter, of course ... oh, or Kes.
See my old man grew up watching Brentford, he even went on to play for them in the 60's.........but at around 30 [years old] he moved down to Reading and started watching us play - he got himself a season ticket and has been going ever since. He now classes himself as a Reading fan, knows everything about them - still looks out for Brentford but ask him to name their starting XI and he'll struggle.
