If you haven't guessed already I'm from the UK in the Birmingham area. A lot of people from the UK however are firm believers of "support your local team", and to be honest, that can be said for almost any fans from teams around the World with that naive & Neanderthal way of thinking. I've even seen Barça fans reject other Blaugrana followers because they don't "live within 200 miles", which is sad because it goes against everything the club stands for? Més que un club, Som un equip, and a club that unites the World. You could argue that the "El Cant del Barça" also invites fans from any where, we are all welcome to support FCB?
It's nice to support your local team and I do, but in my case Barca comes first. Heck, couple of times I went to a local match with Barca jersey. I don't care. I love football and I love how Barca plays the game.
The biggest thing about Barca are supporters and how diverse we are. Many people who don't follow football very often, support Barca and I think it's a great thing b/c it shows the quality of the club, values and the style of play. It's more then a club for Catalonia, but also for many more outside of it.
Visca el Barca. Good to have you here.
