Brighton!!

I let people perceive it how they wanted. Some answered different to others.

@@fcdoublea The Man U fans surprisingly seemed the most realistic in answering this question. Of course those answering as if their current teams went into liquidation are not answering the question as asked - That's a different question entirely to if your team never existed. If you support the team your dad supported then you have to look at which team he would now support not just which team you would choose. The QPR and Crystal Palace fans saying they'd support local non-league teams is pretty unbelievable - They both have more than enough choice in London that they'd have gone for a different league team were QPR or Crystal Palace to have never existed.

Do you get to watch Grimsby at all?

Palace are doing great things at the moment. It would be exciting to be a fan of them right now. Obviously, Arsenal are nearly there as well.

Jheeze. Liverpool or Leeds. That’s a tough choice. Haha

@@fcdoublea I'm not old enough to remember the rivalry between Chelsea and Leeds but I hate Liverpool with a passion so that ones scary

Wow! Considering the major rivalries between Chelsea and Leeds, Leeds and Liverpool and more recently Chelsea and Liverpool that's got to cause some family friction!

@@franohmsford7548 Yea it's brilliant lol. Also some Arsenal in the family too so the banter can be hilarious

What if United had never existed? Would it be a case of supporting City? Or maybe Oldham?

Would there be a lower side you might start supporting?

That's what I think. You're more likely to support the other team from your area rather than another team in the same league or someone successful. Unless you have family in those parts of the world or no parent/relative to guide you

I'd love Blackburn back in the Premier League. Used to love the games between us in 90s

It's crazy how your team not existing could open up several possibilities for you could support, rather than just the nearest team to you. Solihull Moors is a great one though. SO unlucky not to get promoted this season.

If Villa never existed then you have to look at who your family would have chosen to support not just who you would choose. Your dad or grandad may have been more likely to choose West Brom, Walsall, Coventry or Wolves than Blues depending on where in Birmingham you're from or even based on who was the biggest when they were young. - Funnily enough if Villa never existed then William McGregor may never have been in a position to push forward the creation of The Football League and The Football League may have featured more London based teams and others from outside the North West and Midlands. It's unlikely Blues would have got in as it's unlikely McGregor would have gone to Blues had Villa not existed.

@@franohmsford7548 Dude I mentioned that in my comment that the formation of the league would be different but we can't be sure what exactly would happen including were William McGregor would be and whether he would be in a position or not to do what he did in this timeline so you just have to A ignore it and B it wouldn't affect the club in question existing anyway they may be different but unless something major happens they would still exist. As for your other bit they wouldn't support the other clubs we grew up closer to Small Heath then the others just generations of villa fans on my fathers side is all. No one born in Birmingham would be close enough for the other clubs mentioned apart from West Brom hence there's a bit near the mainly Villa supported areas on the edge of the city but one you didn't mention is Solihull Moors. It's doesn't matter anyway which like I said is neither here or there as we didn't grow up in that part of Birmingham. I think I know my family more then you do pal. I didn't really mention about choosing in my Villa didn't exist bit just mentioned that some of my family support Blues and the some that don't support Villa support Bournemouth but one thing I didn't mention as it's irrelevant there's a rouge Citeh fan. I mentioned choosing in a scenario that Villa liquidated or did something horrible without obviously mentioning a phoenix club as a possibility as that's pretty standard response and in the latter part of it would there be enough to make it happen who knows.

If you had to choose between those two, who would you prefer? It's a shame what United have done to many fans over the last 19 years. Let's hope for brighter days soon.

@fcdoublea sadly Liverpool I'd say, just because one of my first football memories was also the 2005 final. Even though I wasn't supporting either teams in the final, seeing the comeback in a final like that and winning on penalties was crazy. I remember I was even trying to save penalties in school yards like dudek. But once my dad bought me that United nike/Vodafone shirt, that was my team. GGMU, got no hope for this board or this team but I'm hoping for some big changes this year. I'd rather even see us start a team of Kambwala, Harry Amas, Collyer, Mainoo, Garnacho, Hojlund and Amad all included

Why is that?

But if you had to pick one?

But what is they never existed. Who then?

What about a local team? Maybe lower league?
