Would you stay loyal?

Bit of a random question but... 

With the dispersed nature of the A-league, assuming at some point you migrated across the Tasman would you continue to put the Phoenix above whichever team belonged to your new city? or become a supporter of your new team? since it would be difficult to get back to Welly frequently. (more chances to see away games tho i reckon)

Got me thinking as 3 of my old Phoenix match buddies are now members at Melb Victory and Perth (x2) and now treat the phoenix as their second team.  perhaps as they are all poms its easier to switch allegiances within the A league (they still support the same British club)

Nix would be my number 1. Though I'd probably go along to the local team, make new mates, and vaguely support them. 

Hard to say until you actually do it I suppose. 

Hell no.  I would find the team that is top of the table and follow them.

Might also join a fan club and get a membership card with my name and everything on it as well.

I'm with Tegal, nix will always be number one but might half follow the local team (but only if they weren't too stabby, blingy or flary).

One stays loyal.

There are a number of Nix fans who have moved over already ...

I lived in Brisbania (and had done since 2001 when I left Wellyfornia) and went to many Roar games through the early iterations of the A league; though wasn't hugely engaged with fan groups etc as they weren't my "home" club... nobody was, I just enjoyed the football (as I did with other sports) and at Suncorp it was usually a good fan experience, the ocassional over-zealous security gumby aside.

As soon as it became apparent there was going to be a team coming in from Wellington they immediately became my numbero uno... obviously moving back home in Nix s2 helped as well... but yeah - whatever/wherever (thank you Shakira) the Nix will be my number one and no other team can be the same as no other city is my "home" irrespective of where I live... you can take the boy outta Wellington...

It's rather rude not to!

I live in Auckland now and you won't find me supporting ACFC - I have a mate who plays for them so I like to see him succeed but still support TW and HBU #coalfacefootball

Bugger that, if a new city I went to had bouncy castles, face painting, lanyards, fridge magnets and Dane Rumble at half time I would be theirs for life, or at least until a better thing came along *

Personalised welcome letter?

That'd be the clincher! Ooooooohhhh and a proper fan club and all with Member Numbers and stuff

Phoenix till I die.

Or migrate.

Actually, who needs to migrate to Oz - what about them teedubs eh?

Crossing Cook Strait isn't migrating Ahmad!

Ive lived my entire phoenix life overseas. Only managed to get to a handful of games. But there is no one else for me. Ive tired following other teams. But its like drinking warm light beer to get drunk. Its just not worth it.

I think the biggest test wouldn't come from leaving NZ (I live in Hamilton so I might as well be in another country). It would be if Auckland got an A-League side. On one hand I'd get to see live football more than the once in a year trip to Napier. On the other hand I'm a huge Nix fan, I don't know if I could truly support another A-league side in NZ. Perhaps I could pull a line from the WSW supporter's guide and just support which ever team is doing best and claim that the team I'm currently supporting is the team that was in my heart all along I just didn't know it. 

I think if I were in Auckland, I'd support a team in my own city more passionately than one from Wellington. So I'd still support the nix but I'd support Auckland more and want them to win when the 2 teams play each other.
