StevieDay1983 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I thought I'd get a simple question up in these quiet times asking how we all started supporting the clubs we do. It'll help us all to get to know each other a bit better and it's always interesting to hear the stories. My story? Cardiff is my hometown team so I have supported them since I started watching football. During the dark basement days of the old Division 4 and 5-0 defeats at home to Maidstone I used to have Sheffield Wednesday as my allocated Premier League side. Everyone else chose the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, and (at the time) Blackburn. I wanted to be different. I still keep an eye out on the results of the Owls so always like to see @waynecoyne's view on things. I follow a number of teams around the world in a similar way. I just like to have a favoured team I can give my backing to in each league. Usually due to an affiliation built up through Football Manager or visiting them in real-life. These include Alloa in Scotland, Carrick Rangers in Northern Ireland, Cork City in Republic of Ireland, Nantes in France, Freiburg in Germany, Roda JC in Netherlands, FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria, Los Angeles FC in the US, Club America in Mexico, Club Brugge in Belgium, and Inter Milan in Italy. I wouldn't call myself a supporter as such of those clubs but I like to see them do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afcpaul Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Arsena! - I used to play with Tony Adams as a schoolboy and just grew up following his career. Plus had good memories of the 70's double when my mother bought me the famous yellow shirt for cup final day. StevieDay1983 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
