Guest jon Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Born in Paignton and so should be a Torquay fan. Moved to Bristol when I was eleven and it was City from then on... Scooter Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesco Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 If the closet team to where you were born means the hospital then Ashton Gate is mine unless Teams like Manor Farm are closer but to wheer I grew up it would now be a toss between Yeovil and City as I live between the to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule The Waves Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I was born in Plymouth although my dad and his whole side of the family are City fans and they were the first team I saw play, so I qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatWill Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Nearest football ground would be Wordsworth Drive, Taunton Town. As we're going league it may be Yeovil but I wasn't born when they were in the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedUn Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Born in Trowbridge' Wiltshire. Nearest league ground/team at time of birth(1986) was twerton park => GASHEAD! I reckon you can be excused, Trumpton was always a non-league ground but with unsavory squatters. Fortunately that wasn't a factor when I first saw the light in Bradford-on-Avon, float downstream and City it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTop Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I was born in Wembley in 1971 and lived there fore two years before moving to Keynsham - and it took me 15 years before City gave me an excuse to go back! So if you're supposed to support the team your birthplace is closest to, I guess that would be England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 You sure it wouldn't be Charlton? Absolutley certain. In fact, the Old then (a truly scary place as an away supporter, my accent came in handy more than once) was even closer to Camberwell. Nearest amatuer club (albeit it with a longer history than loads of league teams) were/still are. the magnificent Dulwich Hamlet - who still play in their traditional pink and blue stripes..... And for anyone that may not know why I ended up as a City fan, having being born and bred in South London (and never having lived in Bristol), see issue 7 of the Incider - still waiting for my tee-shirt by the way, chaps...............

Dorset_Cider Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 What a load of nonsense ! Why does it matter which hospital you were born in ?

Admin Ian M Posted November 21, 2003 Admin Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Basildon , Essex. Unfortunately that makes the closest FL team Southend United whom I have always disliked for some reason. Therefore if I was to still live there (moved when 6 months old) I reckon I would be watching non-league football at the (closer) Canvey Island.

When was the last time they had Footy there?? For me it's Mitchel Athletic Complex... about 5 mins away, located just behind the New York Islanders NHL Arena - It's where the Long Island Rough Riders play - i read it holds 10,000 but that surely includes standing room.

The Man In Black Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Right, let's try and unravel this one for yours truely... I was born at Paulton Hospital in January 1984. Nearest club to the hospital is Paulton Rovers' ground which is just down the road (which is the club where Steve Phillips plied his early trade). But they are non-league, as are Welton Rovers, about a mile in the other direction. I'm not sure if Bath City are closer to Paulton than Bristol, but it doesn't really matter since they are non-league too. I'm pretty sure that Bedminster is closer to Paulton than Eastville, so I according to this (rather mad) theory I am quite rightly a City fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
