I still support everything British, in terms of sport, Acido. NZ is a great place to live but I haven't been able to cut through my roots!Quote:

I was brought up on rugby, Acido. My dad started taking me to Kingsholm when I was three! I always liked football as well, though.Quote:

Gloucester, of course, is easily big enough to support a League football-team, but it's one of the few places where rugby was always the working-class sport, and football has always been the poor relation there.
Streuth, Alf - in my sixty-odd years of support, there hasn't really been that much "glory"!Quote:
