Judda Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 What other teams do you look out for at final score (in a positive way)....? Mine are Forest Green Rovers coz my brother saw the game when they were promoted to the conference. Barnet coz my wife is from there. Chelsea coz I went to watch a few games with a fan friend back in the zola days - always feel I have to explain that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Swansea. Went to uni there, met my wife there, went to the Vetch almost every game for a fiver (student price). Terrible standard, terrible ground and an awful time in their history but some really great memories of "proper" football! Very much my second team and I'd want them to win against anyone, apart from City of course. It also gives me twice as many reasons to hate Cardiff (and I really do)!

Norn Iron Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Luton Town. Up to 1977, we lived near there before moving back to the family home city. I watched all the Hatters home games for the previous 4 seasons. My dad supported City in the 40s and 50s so it was natural for me to switch allegiance. I had seen City a few times anyway prior to our move, so it wasn't too difficult to switch and we were in the old first division anyway! I've been back to Kenilworth Road to watch City play there at least three times. Apart from remembering my heroes who I had seen play there for Luton (John Aston, Paul Futcher, Ricky Hill), there was only one team who I wanted to win.

Calculus Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Huddersfield Town. Grew up there although moved to Bristol over 40 years ago. City v Town is my fantasy Champions' League Final but not holding my breath. Was at the game that was John Galley's hattrick debut and still have the programe. Little did I know then that I was to spend most of my life around Bristol and become a long standing ST holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Willem II, Dundee and I always like to see big clubs that have had a disaster claw their way back up the divisions e.g. Pompey shouldn't be anywhere near League 2 and Plymouth (although when in the same division it can be a feisty Derby of sorts) should not be in the basement.

cider-manc Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Manchester City- Before all the money came in I used to get cheap student tickets to watch them. Their fans are still more bearable than the majority of Manchester united fans and I still go to mid week games there every so often as I can't get down to the Gate and need my evening kick off fix. Also: Roma and Espanyol. Been to both whilst visiting their respective cities and had a blast with their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Generally my interest in results goes; City Clubs in the immediate vicinity of us as per the pre match table (made/lost ground, our league position etc) Results of teams involving anything I've bet on. Then Championship, Premiership, League One and then League Two. In that order. After that, passing interest is local non league side and maybe reading match reports of sides where we have players out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The two clubs, currently both in Scottish football's third tier, have never finished a game thus, although they have come close. In January 1964 an encounter between them finished tantalisingly near, but the wrong way round - Forfar 5 East Fife 4. And in October 2011 fans across the country raised their hopes during a clash which finished, disappointingly, East Fife 4 Forfar 3. One day, one day...
