Dean (hick) Saunders Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Coventry City where I was born and lived for 6 months. Still have fond memories of them beating Spurs in 1987 FA cup final. Classic full horizontal diving header from Keith Houchen.

Ramslad1992 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Lincoln City because I live here. Shrewsbury Town as it’s where my dads family are from. King’s Lynn Town because that’s where my mums family are from. Oxford because I was born there. Borussia Dortmund because it’s a damn good weekend away on the beer and it’s cheap. cstand and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaragozaram Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Just now, richinspain said: When I first moved out here I was often asked for my second team (few had heard of Derby County, bunch of heathens). My reply was always Derby reserves (it was 24 years ago). "Ok, your third team?", "Derby under 21s!". "Fourth team?", "Derby youth". "Fifth team?" (getting a bit taken aback). After some thought "Derby ladies". "And sixth?". "Sorry, are there more teams available?". Are you not a Malagueño? Real Zaragoza for me. 2nd division, skint and struggling. What´s not to like? hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 24 minutes ago, LeedsCityRam said: They look a fun team to support from footage I've seen of their fans. Do you go often? Went to Berlin 4 years ago & saw Hertha (v Gladbach)...magnificient stadium, probably 50k there & plenty of ultras/noise but still felt a bit too detached. There's a certain differencies between fan culture in England and Germany. You're right, it's more fun, carnivalesque and supportive in Germany whereas in England the hatred and tribalism is very much in a core of it. I have to say, I prefer the German one. Of course, beers at the terrace helps ? It's incredibly hard to get a ticket, never mind a season ticket. There's a lottery for both, season tickets and game-by-game-tickets, for the club members and so far my best bet has been my former professor, who usually goes with his son. If his son doesn't get to the game, I'll take his place. Unfortunately, Hertha is just a boring team with a good values in a boring, and half-full poshy stadium. It's good for a tourists though, tickets are always available and support is decent. LeedsCityRam, angieram and Ken Tram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggyram59 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Coming from the North East always had a soft spot for Newcastle United like us good fan base an owner who as just ruined there club like Morris is doing ours and total underachievers. Mind you at least they won't be playing League 1 football next season. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a lot more interested in Bundesliga since they reopened as the first major league last May. Really like the fan culture there & 50+1 ownership which keeps clubs closer to their fans...shame about Leipzig. Definitely will return to check out some more games...probably in Nordrhein Westfalen with Gladbach (my fave German side) as the starting point. Be interesting to see how/if Union change if they keep being successful. Hopefully they stay true to their ethos ?

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I've a number of "kinda like them" teams. Swansea because I lived there/still have mates there. Partick thistle because of the mascot and them being the traditional "don't want involved in old firm BS" Glasgow team (will probaby go the odd match when covidtimes are over). then just vairious spirited underdog / have a unique identity / charismatic teams as they come and go.

StockholmRam Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The mighty Mariners of Cleethorpes. My mums hometown. Im related to at least a third of Grimsby. Due to a continued fascination with one Johan Cruyff I follow Ajax but not too closely. Love their famous strip. uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I don't mind York city because i had a great football manager save with them... but despite living in Lancaster for 5 years and Leeds for 3 never got attached to teams in the vicinity of the area. I do like AFC Wimbledon for exactly the reasons previously highlighted though and if they were close would go now and again i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
