I really with I could watch the Premier League on American TV, but I can't afford those channels. If I could, I wouldn't need to ask this question.

I was wondering which team's fans are considered the most loyal, die-hard, devoted fans.

At first I was thinking Man U, but it's easy to be loyal when you (almost) never lose. Then I thought perhaps Everton, because they've put up with a lot of crap and now they're back near the top. Then I pretty much drew a blank.

Just curious, that's all.

Katz I've never known any fan of any club to jump ship and switch allegiances. I have been a Man U fan since the 80's and back then they didn't do so well. WHen Sir Alex came to us is when things turned around, even if they were relegated tommorow I'd still be a die hard fan. Liverpool are not what they used to be in the 80's but I know some fans who still have the belief that they can achieve those Heady Heights. Although I'm die hard Man U I've been known to be an admirer of West Bromwich Albion and Charlton Athletic over the years and sometimes tottenham Hotspur.

All fans are loyal. Otherwise they wouldnt be fans. A true fan will watch each game wanting a win, and if they dont get it then they're not going to change sides, they'll look forward to the next match. Its the fans like that that turn up to each and every match and scream until they lose their voices for 90 minutes a week.

I support league championship side Brighton and Hove Albion and i know people who supported them when they were playing Manchester United in the FA Cup final and despite that being over a decade ago, they still love Brighton just as much even though 5 seasons ago, they were 3 divisions below UTD.

Agree with Shane. Lots of lower division teams today were once in the Premiership or Division 1 back in the day. They still have die hard lifelong fans because for most of them teams their players come from local stock. Community interest is always high. So I'd say that wherever there is an organised football team there are always fans to go with them. Its just one of those things.
