Apart from City nobody really.

Don't have a "2nd team". The big 4 get on my nackers, but enjoy watching Arsenal play when they click.

Respect loads of clubs in the lower divisions who still have decent alnd loyal following especially those who live in shadow of higher league teams, but detest clubs who are no longer in top league saying "we deserve to be there because we have a massive fan base........" yawn yawn yawn.

No club deserves to be anywhere.

All the people who said Rangers are a disgrace and should go and support Swansea Town.

Cardiff City FC = Welsh not British!

Galatasary - The only other place I'd love to have a season ticket.

Rangers - My godfather is a season ticket holder & I'm not a disgrace for it so a pre-empted f**k off for those who think so.

Olympiakos - Have done since a little kid, god knows why.

Wycombe - 1st team I saw CCFC play and liked them since

Merthyr Town, my home town.

Everton, saw them a couple of times in the 80's up there, and just got a liking for them.

Bristol Rovers, only because most of my drinking pals support them!!

FC United of Manchester - Became a share holder 2009 because I respect everything they are trying to do and look forward to seeing them in the football league eventually...owned by its supporters.


What are they trying to do?



Well basically in a nutshell they branched off from Manchester United because they were unhappy about being bought out by the glazers (cant be arsed going into the detail about that) So the supporters started their own club, they have done really well! The club is owned by its fans, any fan can become a shareholder and that in affect gives you a voice...everything is voted on and you get a say. They play their football at Gigg lane (Bury FC) at the moment but have begun sorting out a new stadium for the club on the old grounds of the original Man Utd. They instantly flew up a few leagues but now have spent the last few seasons in the EvoStik League Premier Division, they are currently 7th.

If you like football you will like what it is they are doing regardless of nationality bla bla bla. Ive always admired Barcelona for this same reason but obviously that in Spain not in the UK. Their support is top knotch...iv'e been to a few matches and there has been 8k-9k with singing from start to end and during half time...THIS MY FRIENDS, IS FOOTBALL!!

ava look.

The thing that gets me with this though is that many fans and even one director have came out and said they would return to Old Trafford should the Glazers sell up and vacate the premises, which takes away any credibility that it had.

AFC Wimbledon and Clydebank are run in a very similar fashion, but the people behind them are 100% for their clubs. What happens if thousands go back to watching Man Utd - where will it go from there? I hope that ain't the case, but it's just one concern I have with this particular model.

Dunfermline.

Nobody in England but I used to like Man city just because they're not Man Utd. Went of them when they became mega rich.

used to be man utd growing up (being misled by my older brother) but that went out the window when they sold my all time fav player schmeichel in 2000!

But for my 2nd team is barcelona :oops: i remember watching sgorio and seeing players like kluivert and overmars and loving how good they were, and i genuinly think the team they have at the moment will be the best footballing team i'll ever see in my life

I think AFC Wimbledon are a great side, great ideology and a great set of fans to pull through after what they went though as a club. Nothing would please me more for them to be back in the Football League.

http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/5886/38/

I remember reading that for the first time in November about them and MK Don's and just thinking that so much of the emotion in that article is what is missing from football nowadays. I know it's contrary to that article's point, but if AFC Wimbledon played MK Dons, the footballing world minus a few thousand MK Dons fans would want one result.

Spot on mate. It was they who spurred us onto what we did up here, albeit on a lesser scale.
