Göztepe from Izmir in the 2nd tier in Turkey. My wife's family live in Izmir. They have a crazy history that I've bored NSC with before. In the 27 years I've been following them they have been from the 2nd Division to the top flight, down to 5th tier non league and back again. They have the world 2nd Division attendance record, in the 80s they played a promotion game against their bitter rivals in front of over 80,000. Even in the 5th division their gates were higher than the majority of the top flight teams. Their fans are off the scale and hate Erdogan and religious politicians. Sorry for boring you with them again, but that's my 2nd team.

Brighton U21 and Whitehawk I suppose.

I am impartial to the odd Torquay away end as well.

Horsham, born and bred and still live here, so seems fair to me. Followed the Albion since I was a kid (83 final), back when they were a proxy for Sussex FC.

I haven't got a second football club, I only support Brighton.

It would be a bit rude if I didn't look out for Nantwich Town's results, as they're only 5 minutes walk down the road from me.

I have a few all linked to Brackley town in national league north. My mate was involved in management there for years and living in Warwick it is where I could take my young family easily. Over the the years got friendly with loads of them and so followed them to other clubs. My mate is no longer at Brackley but I am now good pals with the captain and his wife.

Other clubs I follow due to players leaving
1. Boreham wood - Lee ndlovu the striker. Absolutely top bloke. Him of the massive quads that made Micah richards jealous in a televised cup match.
2. Accrington Stanley - matty lowe joined them from Brackley last season but got injured. Now fit again. Lovely lad. Crap at golf.

My lad is now 15 but when he was about 8 he was mascot in an FA cup second round match at Blackpool and he loved it.

Soft spot for Stevenage. Was born in played Sunday football in my teens then went on to play for Stevenage Athletic youth team as well as having quite a few games for the first team in the Southern league. Played against Wycombe Wanderers for the first team at right back. They had a guy called Cliff Jones playing for them on the left wing. Bloody bloke was still as fast as he used to be. I had trouble keeping up that day. But it was an experience
