I've always looked out for Scunthorpe Utd..... lord knows why, but it couldn't be any local team and everyone needs a back-up to improve their Saturday....
I also follow the Green Bay Packers, but that's maybe a different subject...
alloa athletic
Newry City AFC
Norwich but not twice this season!
Kill me now but it's Swindon Town
Notts County.
Went to uni there, and figured that following a small team that is one of the oldest going and played in a traditional stadium in a black and white kit when there were more illustrious neighbours just down the road seemed the right thing to do...
AFC Wimbledon but not so much anymore
I have a few...
Charlton - South East London lad, much of my family are supporters of Charlton, I spent a lot of my early days at the Valley and live 10 minutes from the training ground, where I met Diego Poyet on a coaching course before he'd even made his Charlton debut. I remember going to the Valley and watching the likes of Chris Powell, Matt Holland, Danny Murphy, Darren Bent, Jason Euell. Good times.
Bournemouth - Currently at University here, not actually been to Dean Court yet but it has only been 5 weeks. Knew I was coming to Bournemouth from like February so have been keeping updated.
Then sporadic foreign sides - Bilbao and Elche from Spain, Fiorentina and Inter in Italy, Marseille in France and Wolfsburg in Germany.
Torquay United. ...and my local side, the Chairboys - Wycombe Wanderers
Aldershot + Pompey - my Dad supported them for 70 years
Coventry - I lived there for 10 years
Surrey - Cricket
Harlequins - Rugby
New England Patriots - NFL (for obvious reasons) although I'm a pathetic supporter of them and the game.
Glasgow Rangers

Season ticket holder to the San Jose Earthquakes, but if we're talking about all sports, the San Francisco Giants are my club.

it shouldn't be a surprise, but Luton Town.
I also tend to look for results at clubs where Americans are in the squad.

Glasgow Rangers
+1.... Half of my familly is Scottish, and my uncles are Celtic. So I chose to go against them from a young age. The only other team I own a club shirt for.
Tooting and Mitcham.. (Come on you Terrors).... 049:gif
Woking - born there
Inter - worked in Milan for 40 years
Como - live there
but Fulham is top of the list
Millwall.
Crewe Alexandra. Saw them win 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in the FA cup in 1960 and then lose 5-1 at White Hart Lane. Dario Gradi is a god there and quiet rightly so as he found Danny Murphy..
092.gif
The Tooting & Mitcham is probably aware that a former player of ours ran that side for a while and enjoyed a good FA Cup in the 1960's? Roy Dwight?
092.gif
I hate to say, but mine's Brentford. Always has been since I was a youngster and I've attended hundreds of games at Griffin Park since my first visit in the 'sixties.

Ive got a soft spot for Crewe Alexandra as well, when I was a kid
listening to the football results their name always stood out from the rest.
I don't have any particular team but find myself rooting for teams that are exciting to watch. Which is why I don't like chelsea much rather than them being our neighbours. Strangely last year I found myself actually liking Liverpool for the first time ever.

Yes when they used to play at Sandy lane.
All different now of course home in Morden.
Fulham U 21´s followed by Fulham U 19´s & then Fulham U 17´s et sec
My local team growing up, Hammarby IF from Stockholm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPW-C9HLpg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IPW-C9HLpg)
Always look out for the results of:
Oxford Utd since my Uni days
Woking - god knows why
St.Mirren (Scotland) since Hammarby played them (and knocked them out of the UEFA cup) in the 80's
Exeter City. A traditional ground where you can still stand and can get a pasty and cider at half time.
Arsenal for me...Dad's team.
i look for tottenham, losses i mean. But my other team is in Ice Hockey' hometown Calgary Flames
Rangers in Scotland, Prestatyn in Wales and Wrexham in er um England?
Whoever is playing QPR.
plymouth argyle as I'm from devon and used to go see them now and then so always like to see them do well
Everton FC-my dads team
St Helens RLFC my home town rugby league club
That's about it 049:gif
Rabid Dogs (my old over 40 pub team) followed by the Rabid Puppies (my old over 30 pub team)

Grew up in Montana. Not a real hockey fan but have gone to see the Flames play many moons ago. Both before and during the Gretzky era.
...Hampton (&RB) FC, I've supported them since 1967 (I was born just across the road from Hampton Court Palace) so I support one team called 'The Cottagers' and another called 'The Beavers'..!
Oxford United. Loved the old manor ground and fans always create a good atmosphere.
St.Mirren.Hello Nick the Sweed and fellow "Buddy".
always looked out for the dons (the real ones, not the mk ones) when we were in the lower leagues
Napoli - lived there for 3 years as a kid and they were the first team I actually saw live.
Raith Rovers - we stopped by their ground when on holiday there about 30 years ago!
Sankt Pauli.
Ajax (I love Amsterdam) and going to Champions League match v Barcelona on November 5th.Also look out for Brighton's results as I live in the city together with many other FFC supporters and fellow FoF'ers.
As my daughter lives in Torquay, I now follow them. Like Fulham last season they got relegated. They will have a difficult job getting back into the league. If they do, they will at least have earned their place in the league unlike MK Dons who are in the league by default.
Napoli 049:gif
Leicester.
Leicester & Everton, also Atletico Madrid, and over here the Portland Timbers.
and over here Seattle Sounders of the MLS and San Antonio Scorpions of the NASL -- America's 3rd tier.
Real Madrid, a team that plays in white and errr. Have a similar style of play to us.
Maybe on our day, or now... back in the days. 092.gif
I support the Glasgow Rangers and Philadelphia Union.
Hendon FC though not sure how much longer, they lost their ground a few seasons ago and now playing at Barnets old ground at underhill.
Chesham United - disappointing start to the season after coming so close to promotion.
Frosinone - currently top of Serie B - Come on You Canarini!
Whoever Liverpool are playing.
St. Pauli, for reasons involving our trips to Hamburg in Europe.
AFC Wimbledon for me.
They're only a 20 minute walk up the road from me.
A very entertaining ground to go to.
8-)

My "hometown" club. Saw them a few times at Sandy Lane and have been promising my son we will go to their new ground to see a game.
Always had a soft spot for Liverpool back in the days when they ruled Europe and played good football. Now though can't stand them and wish they had been beaten by QPR - what a dilemma!
Hanworth Villa in the Combined Counties Premier League as I played and managed them in the past, now managed by a former Fulham player John Hamsher. We've struggled this season but under the new manager we hope to rise like Fulham from the ashes.

The worst experience of my life was there. The away end is 6 steps. Took my wife there & it started tipping it down. We were getting soaked. I asked if we could transfer to the stands. No we were told. I asked if we could go out, pay for the stands to come in again. They said we were not allowed out till the match ended. Even the police were laughing at us. Added to this the parking is impossible. Had to park miles away. Never again.
QuoteWoking - born there, but Fulham is top of the list
Woking - Similar reasons to Gerrys! Went to watch a diabolical 1-3 home loss on the weekend to the bottom team. You wouldn't think we were in the playoff places and had only lost to Torquay & Bristol Rovers (both away & the two teams relegated from L2) prior to the game, very Fulhamish....
Also:
Parma - Half Italian, dads from Parma!
One of the best teams in the world in the 90's until their president was found out stealing money from the sponsors accounts....! Back 5 included Buffon, Lillian Thuram, Fabio Cannavaro not to mention Baggio, Veron, Chiesa, Fuser, Crespo in midfield/attack.

Saw them lose to Fiorentina 3-1 about ten years ago when I took a bunch of VIth formers on a school trip. Liked the fact that we could buy tickets at newspaper kiosks in the city.
My 2nd team is a little known team from Baveria. They played in the Olympic Stadium in Munich when I lived nearby as a kid. I guess they've won a few things here and there... That was the first team i supported. However, I've gotten so sick of all the plastic fans who have jumped on the bandwagon these past few years. If there is a choice between Bayern and Fulham game to watch, I will (maybe being a masochist) watch Fulham. Bayern has even dropped down to joint 2nd team with St Pauli, who I don't like because of the flash players or the gancy football they play but for what the club stands for and for being a bit quirky.
Berwick Rangers. First came onto my radar when they beat Rangers 1-0 in the cup in '67. Also rather like that they are in England and play in Scotland.

Yes I stood there too back in the days of us in the 4th tier. I agree this St.James Park should carry a health warning for away supporters. Just remember though this club is skint, it only keeps going through the dedication of a small army of volunteers who now own the club by way of a Supporter's Trust. As I now live in Exeter I've adopted the club too (but only as my second club!)
(Talking of dedication, I recently watched Exeter v Hartlepool, what a long journey for the - admittedly few - Hartlepool fans.)

Hats off to the Hartlepool fans. True dedication.
FC SANKT PAULI :beer:
Watford when I lived there 1969-71, but not twice this season!
Scotland and a soft spot for Southampton. My best mate and oldest friend follows them so we go occasionally. (I have dragged him along to the cottage more often though).
Quote from: grandad on October 18, 2014, 01:36:22 PM
Fulham U 21´s followed by Fulham U 19´s & then Fulham U 17´s et sec
Me too, plus England Cricket team!
For some inexplicable reason I also follow Argentine footie and like 2 teams: Racing Club and River Plate. Why? Couldn't tell you.
I like entertaining football & teams that really put out the effort. I shall be chastised I know but Arsenal and ManU fit those descriptions in my mind. That being said, there is only one true love and that is the Mighty Whites.
Second team? Fulham of course!
First team is Aberdeen, hence the name and picture. GL was our legend first.
my Dad was Palace, My Mum was Spurs, I always look out for those, I go to Reading FC as I live there...
Family - Fulham
Home town - Luton and they are flying again
Missus is from Cologne so watch out for them, I've adopted BM Gladbach due to the White Shirts Black Shorts ala FFC LTFC
NFL - Miami
All 5 won at the weekend so happy days

I do look out for Scunny actually for the following reason......
When I was about 13 or 14 (so nearly 30 years ago!) I was with my Mums 2nd husband (she's on no.3 now) and we were trying to name all 92 league clubs. We had got 91 and had to pick Mum up from work. When we met her we explained we had 91 of the 92 teams and we were probably missing an obscure 4th division team to which she replied..."what like Scunthorpe Utd"...to which pandemonium broke out as that was the one we were missing. Bloody Scunthorpe Utd!!
And I saw Alan Cork score a 90th minute winner there in 93 or 94!

I think my allegiance dates back to the days of Richard Money, but not certain.
I thought before I actually became fan of Fulham I thought I was a ManU fan, but it was never the club I was fond of it was Solskjær I was a fan of :) I guess I was around 8 those days :P then I saw Fulham on TV at my fathers house in 98/99 season, and it was simply Fulham since then, never been any other club not even local clubs around where I have been living, Fulham is the only club for me :)
Fleetwood Town.

Ah my nan lived near Fleetwood from 5 to 16 over the turn of the 19th century. Went from Worcester to her Auntie's in Presall when her Mum died to help in their B&B. Her Dad and Brothers went down to Nottinghill as they were Potters, and thus my London connection began.

well both us and the oiler's are doing awful, edmonton's had the top 3 pick in the draft for the 5th year in a row, and calgary got the 4th and 6th picks and are rebuilding. the lost a horrible game last night, threw it away at the death to let them tie, and got scored on in overtime, so it ain't going to well
