Other teams you support/follow

[ianrauk]

Inspired by another thread on here somwhere...

Apart from your main sports team that you support.
Which other teams do you follow/support (if any) around the world.

My main support is Chelsea FC obviously.
I also follow the results of
Bromley FC as they are my local small team.
AFC Wimbledon as Wimbledon was the very first paid football match I went to in the early 70's and what with all the franchise nonsense that went on. (also keep one eye on FC United for the same reason)
Elgin Rovers in Scotland for the reason I once met a chap many moons ago on holiday who was wearing one of their shirts and for the life of my couldn't work out which team it was. He was quite pleased that they are one of the worst teams in Scottish League footy.
HSV Hamburg FC - have many friends in Hamburg and go see HSV play a few times a year (incl this weekend v Bremen)
Palmeiras FC of Sau Paulo Brazil. Have some good friends in Sau Paulo. When was there got dragged to a game.
Philadelphia Eagles (Yank Football) as I like to call Philadelphia my second home.
NY Mets (Baseball) as my best chum from the US supports them so has rubbed off on me.

Would you buy a Chelsea replica cycling shirt? I was thinking the other day about people wearing football/rugby shirts more readily than team or competition cycling kit. I wonder if there is a market for replica football team cycling jerseys?

Edit: Apologies for the hijack!

What and make us even more of a target for bonehead drivers??

'Ohh, a bloody cyclist AND he's wearing a Chelsea top, GET 'IM!!'


I'll stick with my Dumbarton Curling Club jumper if you don't mind!

Ipswich Town FC

Hampshire Cricket (Hampshire lad)

Pittsburg Steelers been a fan since the 70's after someone came back with one of their shirts for me

Atlanta Braves (Baseball) Saw a game whilst I was in Atlanta last year and quite enjoyed it

I wouldn't even wear a replica football shirt these days let alone a cycling football shirt.
But I can imagine plenty would.

My main support is the Tic (Celtic).
Tbh though I have probably been to more Pars (DAFC, Dunfermline games) as they are more local.
In England I'm not really to bothered I like to see Everton and Norwich get results but that is only a relatively recent thing (something to do with their managers )
In Spain I like to see Santander get a result because I had a friend/ ex colleague who came from there.
I also like to see underdogs win I'm not really cared who or where they are; as long as its not against the Tic or the Pars
I must admit I don't really follow enough other sports to know who to support.

LFC, Crewe and Stenhousemuir.

 

[User169]

Born in Leeds, so look for their result first. During the summer, keep an eye on Yorkshire.

Seen Norwich play quite a bit and pleased to see them going well again.

Have a season ticket for Feyenoord these days.

 

[Toeclip]

Chelsea FC and Grays Athletic FC

 

[cookiemonster]

Aberdeen FC (I was born and brought up near the stadium and still live close to it)
Arsenal (From my time in London when I shared a flat with Arsenal fans)
Juventus (I have a few Italian friends in Turin)

 

[Chromatic]

First and foremost: Gloucester RFC.

Cricket: Gloucestershire CCC
Football: Leeds United (always like to see Stenhousemuir win too)
As for the foreign stuff, the Green Bay Packers, and as far as baseball goes I remember watching Atlanta Braves on some late night tv and wanting them to win.

 

[Adasta]

Juventus are my main team. A long story, but suffice to say I have Italian family and loved Italian football from as early as I can remember. My family are from the other end of the country, however...

After that:

Football: Swindon Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham
Cricket: Sussex
Rugby: England, Italy

 

[snorri]

Elgin Rovers in Scotland for the reason I once met a chap many moons ago on holiday who was wearing one of their shirts and for the life of my couldn't work out which team it was.

No shame on you for not recognising the shirt, they haven't played since 1893.

 

[TheBoyBilly]

Manchester United (since 1966) Brighton since I moved to the South Coast
Scotland-Raith Rovers
Ireland-Ards
Italy -Inter
Spain-Valencia
Argentina-Newell's Old Boys
