#2 Supporting your local team
In the modern day, where loyalty seems to be a dying quality, it is of great comfort that there are still those people out there who seek to support their local sides rather than simply selecting a random big-name team to support, with no emotional attachment to them, simply because they think they'll win trophies.
The latter is no type of football fan, whereas the former is more likely to have some genuinely emotional and enjoyable experiences while supporting their local team, because of the history that's there and the attachment to the local area. There is a sense of pride when watching your local non-league team win, as you realise it is mainly comprised of people from the near surroundings and may even contain some friends, or you may even have played for this team as a youngster.
By contrast, most supporters of bigger clubs don't quite feel the same attachment towards their own team. You feel as though you're not only supporting your team, but also your town when you go to watch your local non-league team, and this feeling cannot be underestimated in a time where people are attempting to take the heart from football and treat it solely as a business.
