Which other clubs do you keep a eye out for ?

AFC Wimbledon - first FA Cup I remember properly watching as a kid was the Crazy Gang beating Liverpool. I was cheering on the underdog and liked them ever since. I remember us being likened to them when we were in the premiership - unfashionable club battling against the odds. When Pete Winkelman stole the club and decided to move it to Milton Keynes I was appalled that such a thing could happen and started to follow AFC. I've been to see them a few times when the reds have been away, although not for a few seasons now (last match was away at Bradford in the first season back in the league).

I'm no doubt in a very tiny minority here when I say that I do also like to see Sheffield United do well because of a) being from Sheffield (don't dee be doubting I'm 100% super reds dar!) ;-) and b) family & friends.

 

Chesterfield - covered them for three seasons on Hallam FM and made some good friends there.

 

Wislaw Krakow and Millwall

 

Inverness CT and Elgin City

I was stationed at RAF Kinloss in Moray and went to see them a few times.

 

Re: Inverness CT and Elgin City

Bangor City - Welsh Premier League - because i know live here now.

Admittedly they are shitter than us this year. 2nd bottom of the league currently.

 

Re: Inverness CT and Elgin City

Yeah, I watch Sgorio on S4C sometimes. Bad times for Bangor. I decided last month that Newi Cefn Druids is my team in the Welsh Prem (cool name!)

 

Bangor until this season have been relatively successful, Bangor play Cefin Druids this weekend too.

 

Re: Inverness CT and Elgin City

Yorkshire

 

They have. I thought about having them as my Welsh team but the blue and white stripes put me off (these issues are crucial in selecting a team obviously!)

 

Its not quite Weds blue & white strips but i know what you mean, it feels odd supporting a team in blue when i go watch them.

Home shirt


Away shirt

 

Its great when TARN wins
And also
Rovrum
Donny
Hudders
Bradford
Chesterfield
As long its not at the expense of Barnsley

The following take supporters from their home town club so I hope that these lose -
Leeds
Wendy
Blunts

So I look for all these results

 

I will follow the fortunes of Stonesy until he retires, so at the moment I've an eye on Everton, and watch their games if on a live stream. I keep an eye on Bury to see how Danny Rose is getting on, but also to keep tabs on Flicker. Don't really keep an eye on Scunny, but I do wish Mark Robins well so there's an interest in the clubs he manages. Shrewsbury I check results this season, with Mellon, Clark and Lawrence there.

I follow Rochdale keenly. Not a supporter or owt, but the Keith link (I loved him, did I ever tell you?) is strong for me. Then when I became pally with some Dale lads it strengthened my following. But I've to admit it's becoming a bit strained this season now we're in the same division and they're in the playoffs, with Keith. And Matty Done, Stephen Dawson... And Reuben, who I know and wish well. Top lad, so I'll follow his career like I do Stonesy's.


And then I'll follow whoever Jacob plays for, obviously. Which is Huddersfield right now. Been to 7 of their games this season, and whilst I'm supporting him more than I am them, I do cheer when they score etc.


Foreign clubs - Lazio because I was obsessed with Football Italia as a kid when Gazza went there, Milan because they were immense, had that era's best side in any country, and Borussia Dortmund because I loved their name, badge and colours on early versions of FIFA on the megadrive, and even more so when I saw them win the European Cup and saw their stadium, fans etc. However, since it's become 'cool' to like Dortmund, I've gone off them.


I also follow Panathinaikos to see how Steele's getting on, as well as FC Bharat (Bobby Hassell) in India.



It's hard work following em all.

 

Friend at work is a Gateshead fan. Knows the Chairman and gets to as many games as he can

 

Thas nearly as many clubs as a deck of cards

 

I'm only really interested in one club, BFC. It's more an interest in individuals rather than their clubs.

 

Sunderland - my dad was from there.
Forest - because of what Clough did there in the 70/80s - also because most people round where I live are Derby or Leicester fans and I can't stand them two, loved it at the weekend when Forest beat Derby with an injury time winner.
Emley - cos Glav was manager.
Gresley (Rovers as was) - that's where I live.
Atletico Madrid - my sister lived there from 1979 to 2008 (now lives near Granada) like them because they are the underdogs, been to The Calderon a couple of times including the Real Madrid game last season.

 

Wimbledon, always liked them
Newcastle, me dad lived up there
Huddersfield, dad took me a few times in early 70s.
Frickley,
Torquay, cos they're always *****.

I also lookout for Sheff U and Leeds in the hope they got hammered.

 

Stevenage as my dad always has as he lived there for a while.

Everton, want them to do well as long as Stones is there. Although I suppose I could call them my premier league team.

And after the article which was shared on here in the summer (probably by Whitey), Eibar in La Liga. I see them as an inspiration stick for small clubs the world over.

 

Dundee United - for some reason followed them since the mid 80's (yes, I was the skinny tw@t walking around Tarn with Bel(end)haven written across his chest)
Cowdenbeath - The Missus' Godmother is on the Board at Central Park - (only been once, but a certain Kane Hemmings scored twice!)
Chievo Verona - Nicknamed The Flying Donkeys. What's not to like?
Everton - Since they nicke...signed a certain Mr J Stones

 

Did you go to the FA cup game during the strike v Rotherham? Absolute madness!
