As far as the National League is concerned l'd like to see a side reach the Football League who haven't played there before, Boreham Wood perhaps?
Cambridge United. Not going to happen and they don't (currently) have either the squad or infrastructure to compete in the Championship. But I'd love them to continue their good run and grab a play-off place and even sneak a day at Wembley.

No prob! Many people have different reasons for liking - or not liking - a particular team!

Forest, Wigan and Orient because that was the promotion treble I did at the start of the season.

This.
I was born in Cambridge, and used to go and watch them for many years, home and away. I still have several friends who are regulars. Come on you U's!

Yeah, Plymouth into the championship as it increases the odds of achieving my forlorn hope of an away Cup tie at the closest league side to my home

You are one of the few fans then who probably enjoyed supporting us more in our old division one and two days, when we came across both Devon sides far more regularly, Torquay for a while too.

Fulham forest and Blackburn will do nicely
All clubs where the owners have put in a fair bit to get them to where they are. Contrast that with the Derby, Reading, Coventry, BIrmingham, etc situations, with their various points deductions, ground sales, absent owners etc. (sound familiar?). Surely their fans deserve it a bit more than, say those of Fulham? I get that Fulham play nice football and is a nice day out by the river so maybe that squeezes them into the top 3!

Birmingham city's stadium is a mile and a half from me and it's a shambles. Really been let down by the owners and only half the stadium is open at present.

I don't know how old you are?
But do you remember Cambridge winning 2-0 at the Goldstone
It was the season we got promoted to the old 1st Division
And our only home defeat all season
Midweek game
QPR probably needs to yoyo back into the PL and drop back into the championship after 2023 to keep their fans hoping for better.
I remember seeing Albion draw 0-0 at Cambridge when they were top of what is now the Championship, playing the most direct route one football I have ever seen!

Your support is not that great
Me too. Though quite why I feel so strongly about this is something I find hard to quantify.
It's not the ground. I quite enjoyed it when we last visited, despite the result.

Another vote for Worthing at the third time of asking. Would be remarkable if they could finish the job and win the title this year.

I remember it (quite) well. I was 16, Cambridge had just got up to the 2nd division after two successive promotions, and Brighton away was the first away game.
Incredible result.
I moved to Brighton in 1992, and always believed in following my local team, although I still went to watch The U's quite often in those days. Love for the Albion developed during the Gory Years.
