Teams that you have a soft spot for and why?

[Barrel of Fun]

Walsall - Been to see them a number of times with a good friend. Plucky little team surrounded by relative giants.

Oxford - Studied at Brookes, went to see a few games with my then future brother-in-law. Another team that was pushed to the brink of oblivion by some dodgy ownership.

 

[Randsta]

Arsenal as my Aunt supports them so they were the other team that I went to watch

 

[Bognor Bystander]

Stoke City as I was born there and watched them as a boy , Brighton as I've lived down here longer (and other southern teams are crap)

 

[Falkor]

Bristol Rovers

 

[Braders]

Plymouth
Wrexham
Weymouth
NSC Minnesota Stars
Pretty much all the Sussex sides.

Also Chelsea,Arsenal and Leicester due to friends and family.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

seattle........ties in with my new found love the MLS, they get massive crowds and a brilliant atmosphere

This. Seen them many times always keep an eye out for their results. Try to get to 2 or 3 games a season.

 

[GYM]

Montrose. - Only because they are and have always been at the arse end of the Scottish div 3. (I love an underdog)

Oh and my new local non league side Guiseley. As I live a stones throw away from the "ground" and they have bovril!

 

[Lich Seagull]

I've always had a soft sopt for Birmingham City. Back in the day and in my first year at Uni in Brum,Barry Fry had just taken over at the Blues. Genuinely exciting and every day a new signing. And now having lived up here for 20 years, can confirm that the fans are the most passionate, so much more than Villa, Wolves, West Brom....

 

[Simster]

AFC Wimbledon - lived in Wimbledon for 9 years. Plough Lane was a ten minute walk from my last house in Wimbledon.
New York Red Bulls - met some of their supporter group in a bar (funnily enough on the night England last played Spain in a friendly).
Southampton - the wrong half of my family supports them.

And to a lesser extent:
Forest - went to university in Nott'm, good support, good tradition, and one of my favourite football grounds right by the river

Also quite admire Arsenal for getting where they are off the back of good housekeeping and some sublime football over the past 2 decades. Definitely my favourite big side. Oh and I love the Wolves BADGE.

 

[Seagull1989]

Newcastle United - Just think their fans are amazing and Alan Shearer was the top player when i was growing up

 

[Since1982]

Wealdstone...my local team when I was a kid in London. Another team stymied by dodgy owners selling the ground.

 

[Storer 68]

Crystal Palace - otherwise we have no rivalry!!!!!!!!!!

 

[darters74]

Southampton - only cos my brother is a fan.
Plymouth - went to watch them away at Wigan a few years back with a mate, their fans were tremendous, great day out, and now with the obvious pitfalls they're facing.....
Southport - same mate as above used to work for the club
Scotland - CMS

 

[Cocaine Carlos :)]

Hibs, Real Mallorca and 1860 Munich

 

[darters74]

Hibs, Real Mallorca and 1860 Munich

Not the Colombian national side?

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Hampton and Richmond - no real reason
Plymouth - obvious
Donny - obvious
Lewes - It's local innit
Oh, and Monaco, despite their current shitness

 

[SeagullSongs]

Plymouth - Doesn't really need saying
Spurs - my best friend supports them, and the whole Bobby and Gus connections.
Norwich - Paul Lambert is a fantastic manager and it's nice seeing Bennett and Crofts making regular appearances
Palace - You have to love something to be able to hate it.
Pompey - I saw my first competitive football match at Fratton Park (Pompey vs Leicester in November '02)

 

[Icy Gull]

Man City - long time perennial underachievers until recently, always impressed with their support even when they were shit, which was mostly. Pleased to see them owning Manchester.
Deportivo La Corunna - same colours as the Albion and were, briefly, a breath of fresh air in Spain barging into the Madrid Barca monopoly with style.
Arsenal - ever since Wenger has been there, hated them before that.
Lincoln - distant family connections and I love the air raid siren.

 

[catfish]

Salisbury City - used to watch them in the 70s when I stayed with my grandparents & they had 2 ex-Albion players.

 

[16bha]

Quite like Bournemouth too. Was at Uni there when Harry Redknapp took them up to the old division one
