Obviously there's some connection which I'm not aware of and I've seen so many threads about it I must ask. I'm not moaning or anything you understand , and I'm all for throwing weight behind a team with some connection to our club or its supporters, but I'm just interested in the back story, ( which I'm sure exists )
100% nothing to do with me.
When Tan turned us Red, My Spanish friend came and watched City with me and said your not enjoying it are you and I said I f hate it now, but I continued to watch City to fight for our identity.
A week later I was back in Mallorca and my friend Tony invited me to watch Atletico Baleares play in an old stadium, with a small but very passionate crowd, but wearing BLUE
I looked at their history, never really won anything, not even promoted from Segunda B(League 3) for 50 odd years, but a loyal band of passionate fans, who really welcomed me
I knew I would be moving over here in years to come, so I started watching them more and more and thats it
Their fans said they were shocked I had chosen them instead of Real Mallorca as British fans always go and watch them, they say they have never met British fans before who wanted to watch their club, now I have seen at least 50 different Cardiff fans at different games over the years all wearing City tops and all made very very welcome
Do I really like them YES
I have now had a season ticket with my daughter for the last few seasons, will they ever compare with my first love Cardiff City NO, but I am loving watching a small club who just dream of a promotion and to have their own ground once again, which I use to watch them in 7 years ago and since then they have had to share other clubs grounds.
For me I just love watching a club with passionate fans, made me and my daughter so welcome and are not a glory fans club
AND OF COURSE PLAY IN BLUE
But if you don't like my threads on Atletico Baleares, you don't have to be involved, there are thousands of other threads on football
I don’t mean to be funny by this , but I have explained many many times why I post and watch them
