Wrexham
Plymouth
Charlton & Millwall - they hate the scummers
Portsmouth
Hull
Crawley
Burton Albion
Accrington

Some of the above suffered under cash or asset stripping vermin.

You forgot your second team Liverpool

You forgot your second team Liverpool

I’ve always liked Liverpool: the city and its civic buildings, the music, the football, the people. And latterly, as the most realistic obstacle to City. But thought it best not to mention them as some people on here get a bit irrational when the L word crops up.

 

[Nicks]

Sunderland ( my Dad's team )
Plymouth

How about Everton?

When I was a whipper snapper in 70s me old man took me to a couple of Ipswich games, so that's who for me.

 

[Eric the meek]

Accrington Stanley, mainly because it's my wife's home town.

Our cat Stan is named after them.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

My 6 fingered cousins of Norwich, city of my birth.

 

[Simster]

Charlton and Plymouth like a fair few others.

Then for family reasons, Southampton, Charlton (again), Brentford and West Ham. I don't actually mind Leeds for this reason either, although that one is always funny when they are shite.

 

[pasty]

Barnsley. My late dads team.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Birmingham City
Southport

Chesterfield
Oldham

[Greg Bobkin]

Coventry, was at Uni there but also last few years they seem to have gone through similar problems to what we've suffered over the years

This will also be a controversial one, but due to family connections I like to see Portsmouth do well

Same.

Not Pompey though – they can get tae fack!

I quite admire Forest (and Cooper) – and have a bit of a soft spot for Boreham Wood, after watching a couple of their FA Cup games the other season.

 

[Stato]

Crystal Palace
It would be nice to see them fulfill that ‘team of the 80s‘ tag one day ……

Roy's 76. Another four years of delaying his retirement and they'll be there.

 

[Since1982]

Wealdstone. Grew up in South Harrow, went to games as a youngster. Suffered similar trials and tribulations as we have.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Plymouth, Barca, Japan national team, TienMu B52s

 

[robinsonsgrin]

Sunderland - an exes team - soft spot for the Reid, Quinn era... Niall Quinn's Disco Pants was our Millenium Tune.
Torquay - used to travel there for a couple of years most wkends (for romance!)
Always check out National League South for Yeovil (family connections) and Worthing
Local club - Littlehampton Town

Do look for Wrexham - due to following the doc. Shame that the only fans I encountered at the Non-League Wembley finals day were tools, but perhaps I was peed off LA had lost!

 

[CheeseRolls]

Ipswich Town…..bollox to them

To be fair, plenty of their fans were bemused by that one. I am happy to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Derry City having been to a couple of games in the dim and distant past.

 

[Chicken Run]

After reading the thread about Wednesday and Reading's struggle it got me thinking about teams I am rooting for at the moment across the lower leagues.

Ipswich town.
Good support, a rich history but haven't graced the top flight for over 20 years. I remember their first season back in the early naughties where they incredibly reached Europe only to flop and go back down and not been back since. Happy to see they are in a great position to go up this season.

Preston.
In my mind they've always been a big club but not been in the top flight for over 60 years, I would to see them come up.

Bradford City.
A big conurbation who's fans turn up in numbers but seems like they are constantly rewarded with mediocrity on the pitch. Would love for them to climb the leagues.

Anyone have any teams they are rooting for this season?

Anyone playing Aston Villa, Luton, Sheffield United, Burnley, Everton, Leeds, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Salford City & Wrexham!

 

[Paranoid Android]

Dad lives in Kent so would sometimes take me down to Priestfield and watch Gillingham in the mid to late 2000's, most often it was when they had the 'Kid for a Quid' ticket offer on!
I've always kept up with them since those days, and it made the connection even stronger after becoming a Seagull and learning about the ground share in the 90's. Not to mention having seen Crofty captaining the Gills and now coaching our Europa League players!

 

[madinthehead]

Wycombe Wanderers, Eintracht Frankfurt and Ipswich.
Lived near Wycombe between 89 and 01, watched them regularly.
Lived in Bury St. Edmunds for a while, my Dad also was a season ticket holder at Ipswich, so I went from time to time.
Live near Frankfurt since 2003.
