[Archived] Your 2nd Team

[matt83]

I've been increasingly watching Clitheroe. But I've a random soft spot for Luton after guiding them to lofty heights playing champ man 15 yrs ago.

Exeter city, as nearest reasonable football to where I live.  Ok Swansea is technically the nearest but there is a small obstacle called the Bristol Channel to navigate.

I went to see QoS play Elgin a while back. It was amusing to hear their fans singing "We are queens , we are queens, we are queens." 

I may be wrong but, I think Queen of the South are the only football club mentioned in the Old Testament. Just a bit of trivia.

Just checked Wikipedia. It was mentioned twice in the NEW testament, not the old.

Other words in the bible which relate to football clubs are:- arsenal, bury, reading, hammer, forest, spurs, hearts, wolves and man's field.

England? Talk about torture - a Blackburn and England fan. 

That makes 2 of us. 

Living abroad makes following England even worse.

Been to Hamburg on two stag do's last few years (including my own) and I would have loved to catch a game there, shame it was off season when we went.

Though I wouldn't go as far as to call them a second team, my dad is a Man City fan and I go with him maybe 4 or 5 times a year, went to Maine Road with him in my youth too. So I obviously want them to win and such things, but them losing doesn't bother me in any way or anything.

And I would like Settle Sounders to win the MLS cup, mainly because they are sponsored by Xbox.

Hard to get tickets nowadays. 29k sell out every game at bottom of 2nd division.  Worth going just for the Hells bells intro at the start.

I became a Hajduk Split supporter a couple of weeks ago. Since then, Coyle has been potted, we've got a capable manager, we've picked up 7 out of 9 points, and B*rnlah haven't won a game. Who'd a thunk it?

Also, Hajduk is pronounced "high duck", which is reason enough to follow them.

I quite like Bournemouth, not sure why

You like to cherry-pick.

I support Rovers because they were the first games my dad took me too.  I always check the results of the club from the town I was born in and have frequented many times.  Which feels like a second club.

But if Rovers where to ever not exist then that would be me done with football.

Which town was that? Don't be shy.

Swindon Supermarine - Evo Stick Div 1, South-West.  By massive coincidence for one season in the 80's they adopted the Rovers blue and white halves.  I have been trying to get them to readopt! 

[Craigyboy]

Norwich City as it's my local team only about 3 miles from Carrow Road,my brother in law is an avid fan so he sometimes get a spare ticket for me,but rovers shall and always will be my team

Just a comment on second teams, I always want chorley to win however at 1-0 on a chorley game I am not sitting there (or standing) on pins. At Ewood at 1-0 on Saturday it was terrifying.

my dad summed it up with 'its more fun to watch chorley because at rovers it really matters'

[Siriwan Rovers]

Six years ago I opened a topic about the connection between my two clubs, Rovers and Athletic Bilbao. Thought it might be interesting to put it here.

 

[Roving Mick]

Siriwan, thanks for posting this.  It was a really interesting read and great to see what pioneers Rovers were in the early days of organised football.

[Mike Graham]

 

Chorley, been going since my Brother played in goal for them, and Darlington where I was born (we moved away to Lancashire when I was one but I tried to get a game in when I visited Grandparents).

Rovers were always number 1.  My Dad used to take me to Deepdale, Turf and Ewood but the wagon wheels and Bovril while standing at the top corner of the Riverside did it for me.

What is this "second team" that you speak of?

[Mike Graham]

 Chorley.

[Sparks Rover]

My second team is Deportivo Wanka 

 

Wee coyleys next team

 

 

[Lancaster Rover]

Celtic due to half my family being Tim's, get to 5 or 6 games a year and Morecambe as my biological Father was on the board their for about 15 years so grew up around the place, I still go to Morecambe a fair bit when Rovers are away.
