So if you had to follow a team close to your birthplace who would you be supporting?

I was born in Nottingham so I guess I’d probably have chosen Forest over County

What fun I would have had. Clough and Taylor, First Division winners, two European Cups...things would have been a bit grim over the last couple of decades though

You?

A simple tap in.







Followed by 20 minutes of VAR checks.
A 30 minute breakdown in the post game analysis.
Then finally acceptance that 'these things work out over the course of a season'.



The exact mantra VAR was bought in to stamp out!

The old workhouse in Brighton (temporarily re-opened because of a diphtheria (?) epidemic in the maternity ward which killed several, including nurses, I believe).


Once I had discovered this, I could always embarrass my dear late mother, who was always mortified about it!

Edit: Oh, sorry - missed the second part of the thread title.

For the record, I was born in Wegberg, Germany (my dad was in the RAF)
Local team would be Borussia Mönchengladbach.

But after being born, my dad moved back to blighty a month later, where parents settled in Hastings :thumbsup:

Merton. Wimbledon would have been my team but we moved south when I was only 5. However, had we stayed I suspect I'd have made use of the underground to get to somewhere in north London.

I was born in Shoreham, my mother in Rustington, my father in Cape Town. . . My mum was adopted, all her family (maternal, natural and adopted bizarrely) were saaf East London. Brockley, is a kbown adress, So Charlton FC. Those we still know are still local, Denmark Hill . . . Perilously close to hell!

Born in Huddersfield, but looking into my family history, Illingworth in Halifax is where we originally come from. My grandad moved for work as Huddersfield had large industrial factories and Halifax was practically all mills. My family on my dads side were all mill workers of one kind or another.
