Born in Enfield, grew up in Hertfordshire, university in Leiocestershire, moved from there to Oxfordshire, to Manchester, back to Oxfordshire, to Milton Keynes, and then to Dorset.

Who do I support please?

And does this change if/when I next move?

Similar, born in Greenwich, lived in many foster homes around London, longest in West Hampstead, eventually adopted and moved to Coventry, don’t have any ‘roots/blood parents’ per se, or know where they originated, probably the Scrubbs ?, so the closest to my birth town would have been Charlton, Arsenal (when Woolwich), Millwall if staying south of the water, West Ham if crossing over it, but the ‘fashionable’ club when I was growing up and was being punted about was Chelsea, and in the playground I always baggsied Charlie Cooke ?

So if your grandad supports the reds, your dad supports the reds and you move to Wycombe, start supporting them just because of a geographical anomaly even though you have no link with them.

Your dad picked it because he moved for work in the local factory?

Rubbish.

For starters you can't change. Once the sorting hat has picked your team that's the end of it. Your hat chooses when you are young, where you move afterwards is irrelevant. You can go and watch a different, local, team and you can look for their result but switch allegiance ??

Nah, support your local team, it's that simple.

Nah, support who you want ................................ just don't ever change.
Most supporters choose a team when they're really, really young, geographical ties mean nothing to them at that age.
If their parents have no affinity to a particular side they can choose who they want and shouldn't be made to feel bad about it.
Easy to say otherwise when you're born in a city with two big teams in it.
As a six/seven year old you just pick a team you've heard of with your favourite player in.
My favourite player was Denis Law.

So what if I was born and raised in West Philadelphia and all I wanted to do was shoot some BBall but due to some outside influence, say a couple of guys being up to no good, my moms packed me off to the other side of the coutry, Bel Air for example...

Who would I support then?

My dad stayed in Wales for the end of the war.
The farmer was a Wrexham fan and dad always looked for their results Saturday before Everton.
You should support your local team but there is room for nostalgia from your childhood.
 
There's a bloke on our street who is a Sunderland fan, not sure why as he's not a Maccem. Anyway, he's forced his son to also support Sunderland despite him living in deepest darkest Toon country all his life.
Poor bairn ?

How can you call yourself Liverpool Phil when you've never lived here??

Mods, can we arrange a name change ASAP ?
