He doesn't view sport in the same way as the majority of sports fans. He doesn't follow individual teams, he is interested in watching the best quality players playing, no matter who they are playing for.

And that's not wrong but it's why his views polarise most on this board.

Aye I dont Get it like, must admit.

And totally disagree with it

Like the way the premier league has gone, designed for fans sat in their bedrooms in Tokyo to Lagos. Utterly pointless

I think when someone has spent all their life playing sport rather than watching it both football and cricket, then it kind of fair enough that they don’t support a particular team as much as someone who has watched a particular team from a young age.

However because i have played all my life and love sport I may want to enjoy the spectacle and the sport itself now to old to play.

Whether it be a Sunday league football match, a club cricket game, a Darts match or golf on the telly.

Dont see any issue with that at all, which is basically where I am at.

The most team I support is my national team both in football and cricket again see no issue with that.

I am have no issue whatsoever a passionate person supporting their club that’s up to them a very natural thing to do.
Just not where I am at it’s nothing to disagree with just personal choice

Proof (as if any were needed) that your can serve up identical, bland, lukewarm, homogeneous slop, and some people will eat it. Some people will even claim it's absolutely delicious.

And with that, I give you the 16.4.

Don’t know anyone who has ever described McDonalds as absolutely delicious mind!!😁😁

And certainly don’t agree with your comparison!!

What the fuck?

Utterly bizarre

It’s not bizarre at all. I choose to identify with Durham. Because that’s what it says on my birth certificate. Despite the fact that it was only in Durham until I was about the age of six. And now I’m in my 60s. And even if I hadn’t identified by birth, it’s not compulsory.

And also, when it comes to it, three of the four traditional counties we border don’t have and have never had first class cricket. Who do they support in your regime without being bizarre?

It’s all completely arbitrary. He can support whoever he bloody well wants. And good luck to him.

Tbh mate, I have never fell out with you like many others have, as I normally respect your opinion and not only that I enjoy the debate with you and have done many many times over the years without us getting personal or upsetting each other.

But on this occasion for you to have a go at me and call me bizarre and laugh about it as well, simply because I have honestly stated my personal preference of not really supporting a particular team because I have spent most of my life playing sport rather than watching it.

Is bang out of order on your part!

Sorry mate, those first two paragraphs are nonsense. I know a lot of people who have played sports all their life, some to a good level, and every one of them watches sport from a perspective of supporting teams.

Well yeah that’s more than fair enough mate so do I, wasn’t saying they don’t support sides, should have made myself more clear.

What I am saying is when I have played sport all my life a lot of different sports and spent loads of times playing rather than watching, I have not been as bothered or as passionate as someone who has watched their side week in week out.

And that it’s fair enough to have that view?

I more than accept that high majority are the other way, but that’s totally up to the individual.

And both should surely be accepted rather than been called bizarre and laughed at?

Oh yeah mate, I've already said that's there's no issue with someone not wanting to support a team. It's up to the person and it's certainly not bizarre. Some people just view anything which is different to how they see things as wrong.

And fair enough on the first paragraph as well. That makes sense. Guess misinterpreted what you were saying originally.

Yeah fair dos mate, most if not all sports fans support a particular team but some more invested than others for varying reasons.

You dead right what you have said before 95% of supporters if not more want their team to win at all costs.
 
Superchargers have apparently been bought out by Sunrisers owners, and have bought 100% yorkshire first tosell off their 51% share
 
So how does that affect Durham then? I’m not 100% sure how it works but are Durham just one of the other 10? I thought because Superchargers ‘serve’ Durham too we would actually hold some of the 51%, similar Leicestershire would be entitled to some of Trent Rockets for example.
