Obviously they only support their own when you're talking on the scale of the World Cup, or even the Premier League. That mentality is based mainly in the old school Italians and Portuguese; it's definitely not as prevalent in the younger generation. I'm sure there would be some support for a local soccer team.
If the ticket prices were right I'd attend a few games to see what it's all about. A lot of young people in Hamilton are open to change, and are wondering when something is going to happen in this city. Even an NASL/USL team could be a change that they are proud of and willing to support.
