Asked a few people on another thread and am interested to know what the rest of you think.  Probably go for CCM myself but a team with a Kiwi or two in the team will always get my support ahead of their opposition.

I always support the team who plays against a team who we hope will lose. For example: yesterday it was CCM. Between Sydney and Perth, Sydney.
That way I end up watching every game and supporting every team, without actually supporting any but the Phoenix.

North Queensland are Furries, which is quite funny.

Why would I support another team in the same league?!

There really should be a none option, but then I guess everyone would choose that. If it came to the finals series and there was no Nix I'd probably be inclined to get behind Melbourne Victory. Will be interesting to see how the Heart (gay name btw) go next year.

Whoever is playing Gold Coast. Especially while Vanstratten plays for them.

Wellington are my only team, but if Wollongong gets a franchise, I'll support them as #2.

Don't support any team behind the Nix. As somebody else said, why would you support another team in the same comp. However, if (God forbid) the Phoenix ever went tits up, I'd probably take a mild interest in how Adelaide were doing.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

^ This

Added proviso.  With no Nix I wouldn't care about the Aussie league - apart from hating the Roar.

Agreed. Never cared about it before and would go back to that stance if the Phoenix left.

I supported the Wolves in the NSL days - I didn't actively follow the league, but since I'm from the area, I supported them against the Kingz just to bug my mates who were more into the sport than me (I didn't really watch football back then, but I kept tabs on Wollongong and Verona out of mild interest). When the A-League came about, I was basically given the choice of the Knights (closest thing to a local team), Sydney FC (closest thing to a Wollongong team + my mothers hometown), or not caring. I went for the latter

I've yet to meet a single Knights supporter. Even when I was in Auckland for their All Whites match, the locals I hung out with only talked about the Kingz and City.

I remember him saying "I supported the Kingz...the Knights not so much", but if I'm wrong I'm wrong.

I supported the (not so) mighty Knights also.

Yeah, I forgot to put a 'nobody' option.

If the Phoenix were cut I'd either support whichever team had the most Kiwi's or I'd hope football in Aussie died.  Just to teach them a lesson.  Not sure on which yet.

How did the Knights/Kings supporters get a chant going with a 1-syllable name?

Oh when the Knights go marching in.

C'mon you Knights.

Allez New Zealand Knights.

K-N-I-G-H-T, the Knights are the team for me.

Can't remember any others.

Three for me, and two for them.

I was a Sydney fan in years 2 & 1 BP. Even made it to the Season 1 Grand Final.

Although my interest in them has dropped off markedly since the rise of the Phoenix, to the extent that I think Sunday's night Sydney v Perth game was the first game of theirs this season I have watched that didn't involve the Nix

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

The poll is flawed. My answer of NONE is not afforded a place. 
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
