Second Teams.

[Ulloa's Soul Patch]

Where does everyone stand on second teams.
Do you have one yourself and why?
Or do you think you should have only one team and why?

I personally support AS Monaco on the side of Brighton

 

[BUTTERBALL]

No second team.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I feel as though I don't really have a first team nowadays.

Of course, I want Brighton to do well (and win), but I have tired of football. I don't like what it has become.

As stated in my post, I can't understand why anyone would support two teams! It
just doesn't make sense! Ok supporting Monaco and Brighton like the OP I guess is kind of acceptable as the likelihood of them ever playing each other is rare, but what would you do if they played against each other in a competitive match? It feels like two timing or cheating to me!

Most regulars at the Amex probably regard Brighton as their second team.

No second team. I used to go and watch Pompey when I was at uni there but that was just to take in some footie rather than actually follow them as such.

 

[The Modfather]

Why would anyone give a toss about anyone other then Brighton

 

[shingle]

Don't have a second team.

A dog can't serve two masters........so said scaramanga in Man with the Golden Gun

I follow the fortunes of Newport County, and have enjoyed seeing them climb the leagues over the past few years.

I'd support Brighton as they're my first team in the fact I watch them week in week out.

There's something really dishonest about having a second team. They're for turncoats and bigamists

 

[westsussexmackem]

Brighton are my local team and go to a handful of home & away matches when I can so i'd consider Brighton as my 2nd team, for family reasons Sunderland are my first team.

 

[Mackenzie]

I don't have one.

 

[Buzzer]

I have a few. Anyone who's playing Man United and whoever St Pauli's rivals are (Hamburg?). Can't remember but I dislike politics in football and the St Pauli love-in annoys me.

Having a second team is wrong. My 10-year-old son asked me what Premier League team I supported and I said I didn't. Then he asked who I would support in the Prem if I HAD to. I said I wouldn't. Then he asked that if I had to support a Prem team or die then who wound it be. I said I wouldn't support a Prem team until Brighton get there. "What, you'd rather DIE?" he asked. After two seasons watching the Albion he's obviously not banking on us getting there soon!

I have followed Juventus for over a decade now, i buy the jerseys and watch most of their games etc so they are my second team, although i have supported them a year longer than Brighton and due to only seeing a handful of games at the Withdean and struggling to keep track of the squad, manager etc i found Juventus far easier to follow.

I used to be far more passionate about Juventus as i could watch them more as they were on tv alot, but now i enjoy both as its easy to get a ticket at the Amex and both have matches in abundance online and tv. I think its perfectly fine to have two teams, i always thought it never mattered in my case because the national seperation meant they will never meet each other, unless Brighton do exceptionally well.

Albion Albion....(Brighton)...second team.....Development Squad ....

 

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Farsley AFC (Formerly Farsley Celtic) for me. I can see their ground from my bedroom window, and they are a fantastic community-run club that I can take my kids to for less than a tenner for all of us. Ideal on the days when Albion don't have a game, or have one that I can't get to.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Sometimes I really like other teams because of the way they play - but it doesn't mean I support the club or country.

e.g. Aberdeen under Alex Ferguson; Ipswich under Robson, Lyall and Burley; Dundee United under McLean; Northern Ireland under Bingham, Brazil in 1982. Is this acceptable?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Me? Second team? Never.
