Which other club have you got a soft spot for?

Which club have you got a soft spot for?
Mine is Alloa Athletic,i have been to the recreation ground 4 times to games in the past.
The crowds were around 500-600 and the standard of football pretty dire really,but i think Murphy,Flynn and Westlake would possibly make their 1st team
My 1st visit was against Berwick Rangers and i ended up standing with the dad of Robbie Horn(Berwick captain) who was also English,and we were laughing at the Scots.
To make matters worse the ref sent off 2 Alloa players just before half time,the Scots were going barmy and how the ref didn't get lynched i'll never know,and they lost 1-2
I always look out for their score etc and my favourite player was Brown Ferguson

 

[raul]

Nope, nothing springs to mind.....

 

[puppet]

Windsor FC

 

[Revolution]

Cambridge United, who have not played us in a competitive game since I was six, so I am rooting for them to beat Bury.

Failing that, we'll be meeting next year anyway in all probability.

Also Citizen FC of the Hong Kong first division.

 

[Small Mendonca]

It was always Yeovil until they went up and now it's probably AFC Wimbledon because they hate MK Dons and it's quite impressive how they've come all the way up the leagues into professional football.

 

[DazBlade88]

Real Betis.

Been out to Seville to see them once, and saw them a few times in the summer when they had a tour of England, and hoping they get a British club if they get through the Europa League group stage

 

[Torrix1889]

When I was a kid I had a soft spot for Crewe. I felt sorry for them as they were always applying for re-election to Div 4 in the days before relegation to the Conference.

Also being exiled I used to watch a lot of Kettering Town and had some really good times at Rockingham Road in my late teens. Growing up in Corby I was surrounded by third generation Glaswegians and became a member of the Corby branch of the Rangers supporters club, mainly because the beer was 90p a pint.....so always look for the Rangers score to this day. Then there's Real Madrid, I was captivated by the Raul & Roberto Carlos Galacticos era of the mid to late 90's and have followed them ever since.

Nothing comes close to SUFC however.

 

[Grecian2000]

I have two teams playing for me every week-end.

The other is whoever is unfortunate enough to be playing the worlds massivest club. Other than that, none whatsoever.

 

[torridon]

Motherwell.

 

[2ndtenorblade]

After the death of my wife in January 2007 I was in need of a break away and fairly randomly chose Marseille. It was a good choice and as a climax my final night was spent in the final game of the season in the stade Velodrome. Have been back once since and will go again, probably for the EURO2016 if not sooner. Allez L'OM.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

I second Crewe. I always enjoyed it when they visited Bramall Lane under Dario Gradi because they always played in a way that made for a good game and every game they had a talented player to look out for (real life Champ Manager scouting).

Random Crewe memory: On a freezing cold, snowy Friday night match in the promotion season we played out a 0-0 draw and at full time I couldn't remember feeling more grateful for a 0-0 home draw until then. Before that game I was looking at their starting line up and saw that a 'Madjid Bougherra' was starting in defence for them after signing a week earlier following a trial from an obscure French 2nd Division side. 'Great!' I thought, a substandard, presumably unfit foreign defender playing in harsh, northern weather conditions. It had 3-0 home win written allover it.

During that game he ran us ragged. Bombed forward and ripped through our midfield at will so much so in the 2nd half Warnock told Alan Quinn to man mark him!

 

[hykeham_blade]

I have to say that mine is Aston Villa.

I went to a few of their games last season (my company gets tickets from time to time) and we have always been made to feel very welcome and my kids said they also felt safe at all times.

 

[alcoblade]

2nd teams are for puffs.



UTB

 

[JJ Sefton]

I used to watch Enfield when I was a kid and now follow Enfield Town. I also watch Minnesota United play, I'm hoping they have an MLS franchise by the time I move out there.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

None really but if I lived in Sheffield it would be Sheffield FC.

As it is I live in Leeds and if I ever stopped coming to the Lane to watch, I'd probably go to Guiseley - just a few miles from where I live, decent beer and pies (and you can watch the match whilst eating and supping) and they don't have a bad little team sometimes.

 

[CG Blade]

FC Nuremberg, I have an agent in Nuremberg, and he has season tickets, there been across to watch them, and went to see them when the played the dirties pre season. For a German he is one of the funniest men I have meet, and has a hatred for Bayern Munich, that is a wonder to behold. He is now an honorary Blade, and his son, has a Blades shirt every season. Hopefully he is coming to a game this season ( I am trying to put him off) however FCN are struggling this season as well, so it may not be as bad as it seems.

Back in the early 90's I became an honorary Killie fan. I went up to Rugby Park a couple of times a season for a good few years both before and after the redevelopment and made a small group of friends who I still speak to today. Last went up about 2008 and I am hoping to go up again this season when fixtures don't clash. It's much harder in League One without the internation breaks etc.

My Kilmarnock fascination began when Ian Bryson came to The Lane. Me and a mate of mine at the time decided to be brave and make a trip north of the border to see Killie play, at the time we knew very little of what to expect and knowing how rough trips up Scotland could get we braced ourselves but we found a boozer and a few Killie fans were in, we explained to them why we were there and we ended up watching the match with them and having a few drinks afterwards. This went on a good few times afterwards.

They have been to the lane a few times as well and have had a drink in most of the pubs around london road as well as lion and cricketers and hopefully we will be going up there again this year and vice versa.

Spoke to Mick (Killie fan) a few months ago when Unsworth was rumoured to have been their new gaffer and we have tried since to arrange something so we will see.

There, probably bores you but I am indeed an honorary Killie fan. Only down side to it being I have always found it hard to support a team who play in Blue & White...........

Don't mind Rotherham, on non-league scene Handsworth and Sheff Club and any team I've seen United play against in Scotland (Raith, East Fife, Morton, Cowdenbeath) and Rangers.

I remember that match and the great Ade Akinbadbuy had a decent chance to win the game.

 

[Kenilworth]

Sheffield United Reserves

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOT PLAYING AT!

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I have to admit that I always have had a bit of a soft spot for Wednesday.

Despite what anybody says they are a Premier League club and Hillsborough is a fantastic old ground.

Plus, when I was growing up they had some of my favourite players around that time like Di Canio, Carbone and Sibon.

 

[super_pig]

Sturm Graz

yeah don't believe the stereotypes .. some of them are really funny. there is one german guy i work with who has picked up on the English humour and comes out with some absolute corkers.. that most of the others can't understand and wonder why i'm creased up on the floor.

 

[Jon Bon]

I do quite enjoy Golden Showers down Attercliffe, although the beer can be a bit too warm and watered down for my liking though.

err. you're not taking this seriously Jon.. this is serious man

Oh alright then.... it's Queen of the South.

No, seriously...... Spent a fair bit of time in Dumfries and Galloway and adopted The Doonhamers as my second club. Actually, another year or so of this shit and they'll be my first.....

Well other than the fact that they don't exist anymore...

Yokohama F Marinos currently top of the J League

 

[Fiery Blade]

Melchester Rovers !!

 

[shorehamview]

Gretna FC, the mighty black and whites. I saw the old incarnation before they got promoted to the SPL then went spectacularly tits up.

David Holdsworth was their first team coach at the time, and when I emailed them to ask about getting tickets for some visiting Blades I got a message back that Reg said they'd better sort some out, just because we were Blades.
