[Football] Your second team and why ?

[Sorrel]

Spurs
My father went to school in White Hart Lane (the road) and was a regular at the ground in the 1950s and early 60s, his father was a supporter before him in the 1930s, my uncle was a Spurs season ticket holder and inveterate away-game fan in the 70s and 80s. My father still considers me a bit of a traitor, but then he shouldn't have moved to Sussex in the late 1960s.

Witton Albion, my Dad's team of his youth before he got into racing motorcycles. Were always crap, but were Our Crap.

 

[Easy 10]

I couldn't give a toss about any other football club tbh. There are several I despise of course, and my life is very much enriched when I see them and their fans suffer. Thats always fun. But a soft spot for another club ? Mmmnah. I just don't contain the emotion for that.

I do keep an eye on the Minnesota Twins though, they are my MLB team. Seen them live 3 times.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Lewes FC
Always wanted to live there. For me it is the most Sussex of Sussex towns.

But full of people not from Sussex

I do like the town and the football club though.

 

[Elbow750]

Lewes. A 10 minute walk from my house, great ground and you can drink decent beer on the terraces. They are also in Europe, playing against other non league clubs in the Fenex trophy so I've got double European football this season !!

 

[Hamilton]

But full of people not from Sussex

I do like the town and the football club though.

Are you talking about Brighton?

Lewes.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Yeovil Town FC - National League South
The Glovers
14 wins in a row

My father came from Yeovil, I went to the old Huish ground a few times as it was in the town not far from my grandparents house. Actually thought the old ground was better than the current one.

 

[Hamilton]

Lewes.

Yes. I know.

But you could have been talking about Brighton.

 

[SK1NT]

My mum and dad use to take me to white hart lane although i was born and brought up in Brighton and Worthing.

I am always torn.. spurs for the sentimental and memories of childhood... although i definitely feel i am closer to brighton. I hate liking two teams.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Lancing.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Yes. I know.

But you could have been talking about Brighton.

It was more my opinion about (Lewes) “the most Sussex of Sussex towns” being full of people not from Sussex.
I know Brighton is full of people from everywhere

 

[AstroSloth]

Willem II.

Dutch side that are currently in the second division. Their youth academy produced players such as Virgil Van Dijk, Frenkie De Jong and Sami Hyypia.

Randomly picked them in an online FM save we had going in the Dutch league and have followed them since.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I regularly watch Newhaven.

Did you see the match against Pagham at the start of October?
Or more specifically, the corner, double red card, argument and penalty at the end of the game against Pagham at the start of October.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Local to me Wealdstone FC.
When I lived in Sussex, Hastings Utd.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

How did you do against Posh recently?

No idea. I was in Amsterdam.

 

[Silverhatch]

Dabbled with Chelsea (Osgood) in primary school and the Arse when living next to Highbury when they won the league with Rocky and Michael Thomas but the Albion are my true love and have been since Mullery (despite the incredible highs and shattering lows along the way). The RDZ years are off-the-scale.

 

[Comrade Sam]

The Posh - been to London Road a few times while visiting friends who moved to Peterborough many years ago

BHAPFC - my son played a bit of wheelchair football and went to school with several powerchair team members

My dad's name is Peter Burrowes! Just saying

I’ve been to most of the Saturday home games this season

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I’ve been to most of the Saturday home games this season

Well that's the only one I've been to (I got off the ferry at about 3pm), so I'll have to take your word for how any of the others went.
If that sort of thing is normal for the season so far the rest of the football world is missing out on something.
