    Bob explains how he had started to become disillusioned by the football scene, including the way some fellow supporters acted towards players.
    Now, as a supporter of a lower league team, Bob has a renewed enjoyment of the beautiful game.

    I'm totally on this blokes side. If the love for a club dies, then you move on. You let your interest take root elsewhere. Nobody has a contract in blood telling you to keep following something even when the passion dies.
    Fantastic video, cheers!!!

    I am a Killie fan that lives in Lanarkshire. Between home games I have been going to lower league football at Albion Rovers and Airdrie. Been really enjoying league 2 and nice to see teams other than St Johnston. Costs me £16 for me and my daughter to go. Nice to have a second team to follow. Find the lower leagues way more friendly

    He can do whatever he wants. I know a guy who used to support Celtic and he’s more interested in Albion Rovers the past 3 years. He was attacked in a pub for it and I think that’s ridiculous although I can understand the anger when somebody abandons a team.

      I can’t understand anyone who would attack someone for supporting some people kicking a ball about

    This is exactly me, was raised as a Celtic fan throughout my life but started going to Albion Rovers games in 2019 and fell in love with the club, never looked back, Rovers are the team for me now

      @@connor735I feel more of a connection with Rovers since they’re my local club and I know all they players, management staff etc, you get that more at the lower levels

    I personally enjoy both ends of the game and go to both types of games but stopping supporting a club is pathetic and embarrassing.

    If you were ever able to swap teams, you never cared about them enough. This guy's a fraud.

    You've obviously never had Hearts in your BLOOD or SOUL so by all means you support who you want but NEVER say you WERE a supporter of a previous club .
    It's either in your DNA or it's NOT !
