Teams that you have a soft spot for and why?

[Upper Library]

Norwich - obvious brighton connections and just seem a decent and well run club.
Doncaster - speaks for itself
Plymouth - speaks for itself
Accrington Stanley - for the name alone!
Aberdeen - found myself jumping for joy infront of the telly watching them win the UEFA cup in the early 80's.

The Villa

Grandad and dad from midlands, and I broke the tradition, but always look out for their scores

 

[00snook]

Bournemouth - Dad supports them
Arbroath - Always go on the betting coupon (lucky Arbroath)
Spurs - no idea why really
Trabzonspor - just love the name

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Norwich - very strong family connections in Norfolk
Fulham - my local side in London and BZ plays for them
Swansea - play football as it should be played
Arsenal - went to Highbury a few times and the whole set up was class
Bristol Rovers - don't know why, but probably because their fans are friendly (as a whole), they've gone through a lot of what we have and we got two of our best players of the early 2000s from them.

Middlesboro - just for the flair players they had in the 90's
thats it for clubs in this country, over seas it would be:
Atalanta (my second side) great atmosphere at their games
Maritimo


I like the underdog sides

cheltenham - lived here for over a year and always liked going as an away fan BUT

after tonight..BARNET...went in the away end against cheltenham and they won 2-0. reason being some cracking weirdo charactors including one who should be placed on the 'weirdest thing heard at a football match thread' who came out with

"get him off, he is cleary the lowest common denominator in this team"

same guy shouted "he'll hit the coca cola board" which was around 5 metres wide of the goal just before his own team smashed a great free kick in the back of the net

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Wolves - that badge, the kit, the history.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Leyton Orient - my mum's family are all from Leytonstone or Walthamstow. Used to regularly meet up with one of my uncles who was an STH at Brisbane Road; last season he was talking about Paul Clark's goal there in the late 70's.

Cowdenbeath and Berwick for no apparent reason
Shrewsbury as I lived there and my daughter was born there
Chelmsford and you guessed it I lived there too my son was born there

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Chelsea - hometown club, first pro team I ever saw, Peter Osgood is my football hero, and this goes back to 1970 not 2004 and includes when Brighton were way above them.
Donny's and Plymouth for reasons already mentioned.
Dundee cos my dad was based there in his Naval duties during conscription.
Crewe, Workington, Stockport because they were always the teams that were seeking re-election in the 70's at the height of my nerdishness.
Orient, and I have no idea why, but I am currently seeking one of those flats around their ground... more to follow.

[Edit] East Preston and Angmering for obvious grass roots reasons

 

[happypig]

Dinamo Zagreb - first team I ever saw.
Tottenham - always liked thier flair players and my dad supported them
Brentford - used to go there in the early 90s with a few mates
Crystal Palace - thier fans are true princes amongst men and it gives me something to aspire to

 

[RM-Taylor]

AFC Wimbledon - fans will never be defeated
Crawley - Sussex club, want them to do well
Burton Albion - random, but another Albion team

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Crystal Palace - thier fans are true princes amongst men and it gives me something to aspire to

I spotted the irony before you get grief!

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Ipswich Town - always had a soft spot for them because of the great football they played under Bobby Robson, John Lyall and George Burley. Plus they have a high quota of really pleasant fans.
