Football in your family

[Chris Website URL Visit Site 𝕏 fmcj10 Instagram fmcj10]

I was just having a chat with Jimmy Redfern with works at Notts as a data analysis.

He mentioned to me that he supports Derby County, which led to this idea. Everyone on here will know that @super_ram does too. He grew up in Alfreton and, his uncle took him to his first football match (which was the Rams).

What connections to football do you have within your family?

Most of mine are Notts fans.

I have one uncle who I absolutely hate and, haven't seen for many years who supports Mansfield.

Aside from that I don't really know of any family members who supports a team outside of Notts. What about you?

I know a few members are married to Forest fans.

My Dad and Uncle are both Notts fans.

My grandfather used to watch Notts but he also liked Forest.

I have a cousin who supports Barnsley and on my mums side, some support Derby, Luton and Oxford.

Good topic!

I've got a right old mix. Most of my family are in/from Yorkshire, so it's mainly Barnsley and Leeds. When we include in-laws there's Mansfield, Ipswich and Galatasaray in there too. There are a few rugby fans too - mainly Castleford.

There are no Florist fans at all, although my school was absolutely swarming with them.

I've got a range in my family.. 

There's Liverpool, Notts County, Derby County, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Chester City and an in law that supports Mansfield Town. My uncle, who is sadly not with us, was a Leeds United fan too I'm told.

They are all on my mums side, as it's the only side I talk to. 

My grandad and uncle are Chesterfield fans 

Two of my cousins support Derby 

One cousin supports Manchester United and her brother supports Man City.

Notts County mostly through my side.

My brother liked Forest as we grew up and he defected to them, his children are all supporters of the club as is his wife.

I have a few relatives with support Northampton, York and Lincoln.

All support Notts in my family or aren’t interested in football.

My mam's family lived in Bradford.My grandad supported Bradford Park Avenue others were Bradford City fans.My dad's family lived mostly in the Alfreton area.My paternal grandad had connectoins in the Owlerton area of Sheffield and had a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday.His youngest sister was married to a chap originally from Stoke who supported The Potters.He worked at Denby Potteries near Alfreton and he made Derby his adopted team .He was the (great) uncle who took me to my first Rams match.My grandad's brothers were all Rams as was his youngest son,Stan,who took me to my first Rams away match(v Notts)My sister,her husband and daughter are all Rams but her son is bizarrely a Leeds fan.I have a cousin who supports  'that lot'.His wife and son are Man U fans but thankfully his daughter and her husband are Rams.The team my wife and sons support escapes me at the moment.

My father is a United fan, my mum supports Notts.

My brother follows Manchester City [before they became rich] and my cousins are all United fans too.

[AmericanPie]

All Notts fans I am afraid, both my parents supported Notts and my brother doesn't like football.

[liampie]

my dad and uncle support forest, but they both attend more notts games now and sit in the pavis stand as they prefer the view.

nobody else that i know directly in my family support football.

[magpiejue]

My mum and dad met through supporting Notts County and went to away games on Bill Reynolds No.1 bus, so its in my DNA i think. There's only me and mum left now, for a while my brother and sister both went to Notts, then my sister married a fword fan, and she started going over the river. My brother moved to Sheffield so he claims he's a Blade now. So now only me and mum going to Notts. I have a cousin who lives in London, who comes up to Nottingham to see Forest another cousin who lives in Beeston.

My cousins support forest and my family dont like football, they like rugby so not much really. Mother in law(grannypie) supports notts and obviously so does chris & our kids.

All who are into football support Notts, this is a generation thing.
