Dave L Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Chester City - used to go and watch them with my dad when I was a kid oop northLiverpool - likewise, when we actually wanted to watch some decent football.Notts Forest - football went through a really crap phase in the 70's till Brian Clough's team came alongMan City - I was at Uni in Manchester and used to go and watch City. They always lost.Queens Park - As a kid I was attracted to the idea of this Scottish 2nd division team playing at Hampden Park in front of 250 people and a dog when it used to hold 140,000.

Guest DrFaustus Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Manchester City. Lived there for 8 years and couldn't get to see Rovers that often.

greenun Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Manchester City - My late Grandfather's team. When I was a wee nipper, he was always regaling me with the story of City's keeper Bert Trautmann, a former German POW who played on after breaking his neck in the 1956 FA Cup Final against Birmingham City.Spurs - My Uncle Steve's team, although he grew up round the corner from Grandad. Steve completed "The 92" grounds during the 80's and in the throes of his adventures, took me to a few Tottingham matches during the days of Crooks and Archibald.Coventry City - Dad was lucky enough to journey to Highfield Road for that tumulteous match in May 1976 that preserved City's First Division status. I listened at home on the radio, but have had a soft spot for the Sky-Blues ever since.Yeovil Town - Probably on most peoples lists due to their close proximity to Bristol, fantastic giant-killing cup and Conference winning exploits and the fact that up until now they've never been seen as a threat to our League position. Bugger!!Sunderland - The first team that I supported - from afar. Dad was lucky enough to see their epic FA Cup Final win against Don Revie's superb Leeds team in 1973, and gave me a match programme which I treasured for a short time before crayoning over most of the pages for some reason.

Pedigree-Punk Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Northampton Town (my Dad was a cobbler 'till he died)West Brom (my uncles' team)Chelsea (wasted most of a season watching them draw 1-1 and lose 0-1 at home in the eighties....)Yeovil ( probably detined for inclusion in the other list of 5 after next season!!)Bayer Leverkusen (actually played a game of football on their pitch in 1990 - awesome!)Goes without saying that any affection or sympathies go right out of the window if any of the above play against or results affect BCFC in any way at all!!

Niall Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Chelsea. My Grandfather used to take me when it was Osgood, Harris and Cooke. In fact am going on a corporate beano to see them hopefully trash WBA tomorrow night.Palace. Trialled for them when I was 14. Nowhere near good enough but stuck with them, despite those cretins Noades and Goldberg.Millwall. Lived in Southwark most of my life. Still get angry when the press turn on them. They had the first and finest community football programme in the 80's that tried to combat the racist scum that embarrassed the nation.Torquay. The wife is from the English Riviera and its one of the friendliest grounds you could visit (though hopefully not on Saturday at 4.45)Anyone playing Manchester United. I can't begin to tell you how much I dislike them....... Wouldn't it be terrible if Glazer took them over and turned them into a greedy, global, money-grabbing machine? Whoops, too late.
