CiderEagle Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I live in North Devon, where there is a strong level of support for a team called "and Plymouth". Most people, adults and kids alike, support "Leeds and Plymouth" , "Chelsea and Plymouth" and of course the most popular "Man U and Plymouth". I have noticed a strange dropoff in "and Plymouth" support lately, in favour of a team called "Plymouth and" - suddenly its "Plymouth and Man U" or "Plymouth and Chelsea".You can't get away from those horrible green shirts all over the place. Its not even a NICE green, like Celtic's hoops or Norwich's shorts, its a horrible bile-green. People point and laugh at my City shirt when I give it an airing. The local telly has been full of nothing but "Congratulations to Argyle" programmes. All around is joy and laughter. I can't bleedin' stand it any more! At least if we go up in the next couple of weeks all will be forgotten, otherwise I will have to endure a whole season of part-time Plymouth fans taking the ######. Just wanted to share my pain with you all. Time for my lunchtime nap now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Perhaps Willsbridge would lend you his Southampton shirt......that would be sure to get a different reaction from them...... (and you needn't feel like a traitor either because they even took the care to make sure they play in red & white too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bristolbred Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 All my neighbours are Derby supporters!! So it's great, as they are more miserable than me!! Got one or two closet Notts Forest fans nearby, but they are safe this season, so if we don't go up, and Derby come down, at least i'd have the Pride Park fixture to look forward too!! Ps, on the 22nd of May, I'm attending a function where there are going to be a few Argyle supporters present!! Lets hope that we end the season well!!

Redminster Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Not so bad here - most Villa or Bluenoses don't really pay much attention to the 2nd division I think most people who know me are just bemused with the fact I support a "little" team.

Niall Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 And life in Sussex will be unbearable if the seagulls escape this poxy division and we don't...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glastonbury Red Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Take it you are London then...go to many matches home or away? As many as I can. Usually about 10-15 home and 5-10 away per season. Whilst I was living in Bristol, I was ever present at home for 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamared Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Like City Nut, I'm living in Plymouth and work in the city centre in an office full of Man U,Chelsea & Spurs fans who have suddenly started referring to their local side as "us" & "we". Only support I get is from Shaun Taylor's sister-in-law who works for us and even she's leaving tomorrow as she's expecting. To make things even worse the boss is a big QPR fan - if we cock this up again my life is going to be a living nightmare!! The only other thing all of the above seem to be agreed on is that they think DW is a great manager - I wonder why!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city nut Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Poor City Nut - he's slap bang central in Plymouth.. about 1 mile from HP As someone who was exiled down there nearly 3 ago I dread to think what its like - I remember watching the kingstonian replay in a my city shirt and getting greif even back then when they had just safely starved off relegation to the confrence. How times change eh.. Tell me about it!! I have taken abuse all season for being a city fan at work. The only safe place to wear my city top is on the Plymouth Uni campus any other place i just get abused. The thing is that i went a little over the top when we went top of the league so they have rubbed it in even more :@ Also worst of all is the fact i can see and on the odd ocansion hear Home Park from my house. It aint nice!!. The only good thing is I'm back in Bristol for the Blackpool game so i will miss there promo party on the last game of the season It will be enjoyable next season though when i see them drop out of the first division!!!

Guest N1 Jim Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Work with a few Arsenal season ticketers, a West Ham fan, a Pompey fan who reckons he was in the 657 bunch but never goes to games. Think I get a fair bit of a respect for following a lower league team and everyone dislikes Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
