Other teams that you question the existence of.

Inspired by ShorehamRevolution 's 'other teams you hate' thread, I thought I'd add a different angle.

Other teams that you question the existence of, seem a little bit pointless, or that you feel a shit load of nothingness about (maybe edging towards dislike).

For me...

Reading - the other night aside. Beige, middle class club, generic modern stadium, no distinguishing features to their squad, no rich history amongst their fans. They just exist, in a not very footbally part of the world.

Hull - a squad devoid of any real quality, now and for years before. Their tigers nickname, that tigers chant, orange and black kits, one that was a bit tiger printy the other year, no real rivals, no real memories, no real excitement, no optimism for the future, just nothing. I imagine it's the footballer's equivalent of just turning up for your pay cheque.

Excuse me, I think you are forgetting a fairly recent play off final against the S6 massive. I can tell you that brought a lot of joy and excitement to many people other than just Hull City fans.

Any club that plays 'Sweet Caroline'.

So yep, that includes Reading.

MK fucking Dons.

The fucking in their title suggests you feel anything but nothingness about them...

QPR
Fulham
In fact most of the shit tiny London clubs.

Bloody arrogant thread this, by all means, any fan is entitled to an irrational loathing of a particular club, (in my case any club that has a bloody drummer in the stand) but can't be thinking it's anything but up your arseness to question if they have a right to exist.

Hull will always get a "bye" from me, for what they did in 2016. Generally though, they always seem to have had a problem with us.

Ok, maybe edit the wording a tad, not do they have a right to exist, more "are they barely noticeable?"

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Norwich City. Plastic twat fans, plus that pissed up fucking cooking sherry drinking twat as Chairwoman. Plus, how olds her husband? He looks about 98 on MOTD. I’d get his library books back sharpish if I was him.

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Everton. Really, what's the point? They never go down, never win anything, never get to finals, never get into Europe, never usually even chasing Europe or threatened with relegation, just tedious, bland existence with only two games to get excited about all season which they'll probably lose anyway.

 

[BushBlade]

Blades. Fucking pointless. Never win owt, supporters will never be happy, even if we won the PL and the championship some fucker would be moaning that we haven’t given Rodwell a chance. Spend over a decade out of the PL and as soon as we’re back start calling other clubs tinpot like we’re fucking Real Madrid.

That's one for the sharing your unpopular opinions about SUFC thread...

Both those clubs have had more top-flight seasons than us this millennium though...

MK dons - why would any fan of football support them?!
Rochdale - they should just have a 1/2 pitches for the youths of the village to play on and that’s it, no need for a football team. Plymouth/Exeter/Yeovil/Torquay - when in the same division if we could play them in August or May then fine but all that way on a January Tuesday night? no thanks.
Newport county - isn’t Cardiff/Swansea/Wrexham enough for the welsh?
Huddersfield - probably back to my thread of hating teams really, Leeds and Bradford are enough for that neck of the woods
Fleetwood/Morcombe - Just support Blackpool/Carlisle and leave space in the top 4 divisions for Chesterfield/Halifax/York to grace the professional leagues please.

mainly my questioning of clubs comes down to geographical reasons

Some would argue why support Chesterfield when you can support a Sheffield club or Derby.

True I just hate that end of the country. I also like contradicting myself without realising it on public forums and then having it pointed out to me.

In the same way that some would argue why bother supporting the Blades when trains run regularly to Manchester.

They don't have any rivals all the way up there.

I agree with Hull being in their present form. They always were a third fourth tier club with the occasional walking around with blankets to stay afloat. They got lucky twice with stadium that was gifted through being an anomaly (white phone boxes KCOM), an owner turning up out of the blue with millions (Aslam) they were days from liquidation when he came in. They will return to their natural level of third tier and the fans that were rugby league go back to just Rugby league until the next stroke of luck takes them up the league again.

MK Dons - Just moved from elsewhere not brought up through their community.

A team which plays in blue and white near a Sainsbury`s store in a large northern city.

FC United of Manchester or whatever they're called. Just choose one of your existing local teams to support.

I have a soft spot for Yeovil tbh. Years ago on Fifa I won everything with em. From league 2 to champions of Europe in 5 seasons! Had a soft spot for em ever since.

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

None apart from MK, and I've even mellowed a bit with them over time. Our extended spell in the doldrums actually raised my liking and respect for little ancient clubs (with one local exception), and especially their long-suffering fans. I like how people in sniffing distance of Old Trafford and the Etihad pay to watch Oldham and Rochdale, and more locally that they continue to go to watch Rotherham, Barnsley and Donny. They're the complete opposite of global glory seekers and all the better for it!

 

[AWetFlannel]

I'm the exact same. They were always my fifa team before we became a league 1 club shit enough to start in a career mode. Bowditch up top was a legend.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

This is a debate me and my mate often have, which is the most boring club to support?

I automatically rule out clubs like Hull, QPR, Norwich and Ipswich because although they're dull and shite at least they've had some success within living memory and a few seasons in the Premier League.

I've come to the conclusion that the answer is Preston.

They haven't been in the top flight for over 50 years, rarely challenge for promotion and I can't ever remember them even getting to an FA Cup or League Cup semi final. In my lifetime they've never really had any memorable or famous players either.

If you say Preston North End to me absolutely nothing comes to mind.

They just just sort of exist as perennial second tier stalwarts.

 

[DifferentClass]

Having Robin Friday on their books is probably the highlight of Reading's existence.
