Spurs because when I was a kid (aged 11) the boy I liked was a huge Spurs fan so I was naturally interested in it. Always look out for the rovers score. if we win and they lose, the beer tastes sweeter. Whoever is next in the fixtures for us. Not sure how long you are going back, but to my knowledge Exmouth Town are alive and well in the South West Peninsula League Prem div. (Tier 10, one below Bristol Manor Farm and Clevedon Town). Living in East Devon, Exmouth are one of the better local non-league sides - although that's not saying too much.. Tiverton Town are about the best around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday afternoon stood by the river watching the town. Happy days... As an East Devon resident, are you in Exmouth? I lived there for about 3 years in total. Did some work in Seaton and Budleigh too. Without doubt, my favourite part of the world. I will go back one day but hubby is a total city boy so I expect it'll be when he has to chuck my ashes over Orcombe point as requested!

stephenkibby. Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Depending on the City result (if we lose I don't tend to take much interest in football on a Saturday night!!) But if we win I check the lot out. Football league followed by conference,southen,western,south west peninsula and finally the south devon league!!!!!

They are also a red unless they've changed sides). Indeed, since the Uni closed shop, I'd imagine you need a bus pass to acquire an EX8 postcode. That and a strong smell of cats...

Acton Red Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 8 hours ago, Oops said: Berwick Rangers. An English team in the Scottish league, I have a mental picture of their home games being like the battle scenes from Braveheart same here. one day they will the Scottish Cup or something.

glastonred Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Bradford City - because I used to live up there in the Sixties and used to watch them in the old Valley Parade Queen of the South - because theirs is the only Scottish ground I've visited - a 5-1 demolition of Morton a few years ago. Will be back again one day. And they really do chant "come on you Queens"! and Forest Green Rovers - because like Dale Vince I am a vegan, and Green campaigner.Would like City to go down the same route.....

Bar BS3 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 City are the only team that I care about winning. I then check the Rovers & Man Utd scores, hoping they've both lost.

Red Tel Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Coventry City. My son works in Coventry and we have always enjoyed an away day together to the Ricoh. Hope we don't have to wait too long for them to re-join us in The Championship, or higher. I also look for the results from Frome Town, my home town.

ukneil Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 'TFC' of course. They play in red, have an authentic atmosphere at home games and avoided the franchise nick naming convention of most MLS teams. Went more in the early days of the teams' start-up but jumped on the bandwagon this season and now a draw or one goal defeat away from an aggregate win over New York City and a place in the Conference final. Win that (quite possibly an all-Canadian affair against Montreal) and it's onto the MLS cup final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJim Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Cheltenham Town as my good mate supports them and he's always shown respect for City and looked out for our results . But I couldn't really care less as long as City win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans are still more bearable than the majority of Manchester united fans and I still go to mid week games there every so often as I can't get down to the Gate and need my evening kick off fix. Also: Roma and Espanyol. Been to both whilst visiting their respective cities and had a blast with their fans. I forgot to include Barcelona and sparta Prague for the same reason!

Win that (quite possibly an all-Canadian affair against Montreal) and it's onto the MLS cup final! Took in 3 games myself at the BMO Field last season. NYC, Montreal and DC Utd. Really enjoyed it. They have a group of hard core fans who are situated behind one of the goals. In addition to Toronto and Liverpool I also look out for Czech team Zbrojovka Brno. I went last season and a ticket cost me less than £3. This is top level football in Cz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
