Wow, just got to see a live (I think) match between Chelsea vs. Wigan. I'm hoping this network will be showing more of the premiership games.

I have a question. Please don't take offense cause I'm still trying to understand okay? Do most folks in England have a Premier league team they like (as I favor Man. U.) as well as the other league teams? Meaning can/does a Stanley fan cheer for one of the "bigger" teams? Is that even an approriate terminology?

Okay, over here we have Major League Baseball. Then we have the AAA, AA, and single A teams. These guys are all considered professional baseball players but the "quality" of the player and payment they receive is commensurate with the level of play.

These others teams are greatly enjoyed by the locality they're in but not usually followed by anyone outside that locality. The closest team we have is a AAA ~40 miles away.

Is this kinda how English Football is set up? I woulda put this in the Football Forum but feared some negative Karma for my ignorance from the diehards!

Be Kind!
