A Little Survey

Xavi6 · 08-04-2008 06:49AM #1

Greetings all,

After a short discussion with our esteemed moderator PSI, I've decided to conduct a short and simple survey of the soccer forum members.

Basically I believe that the age of the poster goes a long way to depicting what team they support i.e. many of those born between 1980 and 1988 or so will be United fans, late 60s and early 70s babies will be Liverpool fans etc etc. It's a big generalisation and of course not everyone will follow the trend but I'm curious as to whether age has an impact on what posters agree/disagree with each other and if there could be a generation gap at all.

So all I'm looking for us one post per user stating your age and what team you support i.e.

Age - 23

Club - Manchester City

Did your family influence your decision to support that team? - No

With so many users here on a daily/weekly basis we could get some interesting results.

Cheers for you support.

Only if you put your age and team up

I'd imagine you'll see a fairly even divide between Man Utd & Liverpool amongst the 20~ year olds, with a smatterings of Arsenals and even a Blackburn or two thrown in!

Family influence???? Had a cousin from England who spent summers with us and he was pool so i was too. Grandfather was massive Arsenal fan and I cried when Michael Thomas scored at Anfield in 89...

Interesting topic, good luck compiling the stats at the end!

For the record I'm 29 and a Liverpool supporter.

What was your Family team as in who did your father support?

It doesn't have any bearing on my choice of Liverpool but for the record my father was born in North London so has a soft spot for Arsenal, he also used to work in Reading so has a soft spot for them too

. I'm the eldest in my family so I didn't have an older brother to copy from.
