As you can gather from my username, Portsmouth. Went to the dump that is fratton park for the league cup match vs villa last year

[norfolkbroadslim 225]

Newcastle, where I was born and I have always lived within 20 miles of.

Sunderland. Went to university in the North East and I enjoyed it much more than a trip to St James''s Park. Always keep an eye out for how they are doing.

Wealdstone, my local non league club.

 

[Hissing Sid 160]

Darlington and Stevenage, both through family connections...kind of ironic that one replaced the other in the league last season.

[Lord Horn 0]

Ebbsfleet United - as I own them.....err along with a few thousand others!

[Calsworth 0]

Tottenham,  lived there pretty much most of my life! so it''s to be expected, they''ll always be my no1 team.

[Jimbo_Jet_Set 0]

I have a soft spot for teams from places where I have lived so

Derby County

Perth Glory

Nagoya Grampus

Also have an affection for Real Madrid for no known reason so follow them when the Spanish football is on

I dont support any other clubs, I like to see a few do well for the following reasons.

Barnet - because my mates a big Barnet fan, and we have been to a few when City havent been playing.

Yeovil - Because I worked nearby for a good while, and wanted to watch some local football.

Rotherham - Family reasons.

I dont support any of them, I dont care if they win, lose or draw, but if they do well im chuffed for the people I know who support them. I know plenty of Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man Utd fans, but have no reason to have a soft spot because none of them have even been within miles of a match, even when they have played at Carrow Road. Plastic glory hunters. 

[Tubbs & Edward 0]

Exeter City have always been my second team, simply because they were my local club as a kid, & my old Dad always encouraged me to support the local boys, rather than being a glory hunter. In the very early 60''s it was always Tottenham that ruled the playground kick abouts, all of the kids wanted to be Greaves or Blanchflower,so I had no competition when I opted to be Percy Baddick! So, Norwich are my team, but the Grecians are my ''dirty little secret''!

Lowestoft Town: Hometown club.

Celtic: Irish Catholic family.

Fiorentina: My housemate is from Florence and have been to see them play a couple of times, also love their kit.

FC St Pauli: A club which has come symbolise everything special about football and punk rock culture, plus they walk onto the pitch to Hells Bells by AC/DC.

After Norwich I look for several results....

Ipsh*t - in the hope they''ve lost

Leicester - same reason, as brother in laws team

Rushden - used to work with a fan and visted the ground several times

Arsenal - due the whole family on my Dad''s side being fans, a legacy I was supposed to follow, except I grew up in Norfolk.

[linco88 0]

Spurs for me. Always loved watching them play and have been to the lane a fair few times.

Cambridge United- local to where I live now

Dagenham and Redbridge - similar to the other poster who mentioned them. Deserved a replay from our fa cup at the very least IMO. Glad they won on saturday :D

San Jose Earthquakes because of Hucks.

Oh and Norwich City reserve and academy sides ;)

[Canary1902 0]

My friends all support Premier Teams, so I tend to pick a team each season in the Prem to follow to we can have a bit of rivalry banter.

Opted for Fulham this year, got abit of a soft spot for Mark Hughes I think lol.

Other than that, I got to Millwall with my brother in law quite alot, but when the canaries are in town obviously I''m in the away end!

East Stirlingshire - after reading the book "pointless" which was the tale of a season with Scotlands worst club. They picked up a bit since I read the book, but can still be found in the bottom league.

Would like to get up there for a game one day.

Aston Villa. My grandfather was a shareholder back in 1910 (one hundred years ago} and my coz Diana still has the shares. The pitch had a banked wooden cycle track round it and they used to hold cycle races there. Being shareholders grandfather was allocated two free tickets to matches and after he died my mother used to go to the games with her coz Harold. Just before mother died I took her to Carrow to see Norwich play Aston Villa in a league game. We had seats in the City Stand. No one could have been more delighted than my mother. I think Villa won!.

Celtic.  When I was a kid I had the Shoot! Football League Ladders (anyone remember those?) and Celtics little card was yellow and green, just like Norwich''s (Norwich was yellow with green writing, Celtic was green with yellow writing).  In later years my opposition to Rangers increased when I decided the only teams I hated played in blue.....

For a similar reason Ive also kept an eye on Hibs (as their card was green, though white writing)

Still look for both results, even 30-odd years later

How on earth could I have forgotten St Pauli!!!!!!!

Kings Lynn  - location

Sheffield Weds - Have a good mate who supports them. We go together to both games(when we are in the same division). He sits with me for the home game and I sit in the kop with him for the away game.

Quite surprised that ''Nutless Niggle'' hasn''t slapped a piccy of a fat Geordie on your post......

I''m allegedly/supposedly a Newcastle supporter....

Wonder if Nutless has a soft spot for any other club....?
