What teams do you have a soft spot for?

Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:20 pm

Haven't had one of these for a while.

Other than Cardiff City, what other teams do you have a soft spot for?

Mine is Shrewsbury Town. It's the club my father supports. They are playing Chelsea tonight so will be going to the pub to watch it :thumbright:

Always like to see Worcester City do well as well, due to where I live.

I always make a bet on which teams are going to do well and play nice football and this season they are Real Madrid and Chelsea who I will now occasionally follow but otherwise there's only Cardiff :bluescarf:

I don't follow any other team but I like to see Derby doing well as I like their fans and also AFC Wimbledon, purely because I like their story.

Millwall....first opponents I watch and always has been a passionate affair on and off the field until last Saturday were our squad turned out and played like a bunch of poofs.

Arsenal from when I was about 6 till about 16. Used to live for them. I'd know literally everything about them. Bed sheets, wallpapers, the whole shebang.

Then I grew up a bit and realised that I am Welsh. If they didn't have ramsey now I wouldn't look at them twice.

Apart from them I can't think of anyone.

Shrewsbury for me too...worked there a couple of times, know some friends who live there and a really lovely town to visit. Not far from the Welsh Border too. Only a little bit of Arsenal, due to having rambo in it and my dad supported them since he was a kid and still does, so did my uncle, other family and friends from school to uni. Surrounded really.

No real other team but when a player I like leaves city I do tend to look out for them teams and like to see them do well.

Glasgow Rangers, been to watch them about a dozen times and went to two Old Firm games in 89 and 90.

Bradford; partly because they defied the odds and beat Liverpool to stay in the Prem in 2000, and partly because of that awful fire and what I've read about it.

Aberystwyth town, Fc St Pauli, Afc Wimbledon and Derby always treated great as away fans when you go there.

S.S. Lazio. I lived in Rome for the best part of four years, and used to go and watch them fairly often.

Carmarthen Town. Watch them when there is no clash with CCFC.

If you think watching Cardiff is hard work try watching basketball which is what I'm stuck with for next few months. Our local team have already lost 6 of their 8 pre season games, and were just as bad last season.

My wife is from Shrewsbury and we're up visiting this week. Managed to get to the game tonight and usually get to see them at least once a season

Hamburg and BVB. Mainly down to my German heritage in my family.

AFC Wimbledon, always like to see them do well because of my family and what they've been through.
Everton, because of how they play and they're run so good.
And Accrington Stanley because of FIFA :)
