I'm a Brit and the whole 'relocation' thing has always been a bit fascinating to me. Totally understand why teams move, and I totally understand why fans hate it, but I've never really been sure on what the etiquette is for fans of teams who have moved on.

It already happened once in my life with the Winnipeg Jets, and granted I was 8 years old, but no I didn't keep cheering for the Phoenix Coyotes, though I know people who did. It would definitely be a mix, and I think most people would pick a different team, but I'm not sure what the proportion would be. Even in hockey, a team moving is pretty rare.
