Does anyone follow a second team?

[Dutch Toffee]

Some people find it weird but it is normal for me. I don't just follow another team, I full on support them. One arm with an Everton Tattoo and the other with a Barrow one.

My mum used to go to Barrow games when she was young and when we moved up there from Essex (I was 7/8), me, my Dad and Mum started to go to games. It started off just as a home attendance but grew steadily into every single match (give or take). Probably missed around 4/5 games from 94/95 to 98. This is when I moved to Liverpool (Uni) and got a season ticket at Goodison.

It is truly 50/50 support, there is no favoured team.

It's pretty much the same view as I have.

Hartlepool and Blyth Spartans.

Spartans are only 5 mins down the road so I pop along to watch a couple of times a year. Great FA Cup history.

Hartlepool because the in-laws lived nearby so would occasionally go and watch. Pies are epic (I think they won 442 magazine pie of the year three years running).

They also had a mascot called H’angus the Monkey in reference to the most famous thing about Hartlepool. He used to run out before the teams to the live version of Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC. You don’t get that in the Premier League. The original lad in the monkey suit went up for mayor and won and did such a good job he go re-elected.

Brighton. Grew up near there and my Dad's a fan

Used to go and watch them at the Goldstone, even saw them a couple of times when they played in Gillingham for a season.

 

[Sporting Billy]

Warrington Town.

Keep an eye on Marie's results as they're the closest team to where I'm from/live.

Will take my dad to watch the them every now and then too.

I meant Marine of course...

I suppose I've got a soft spot for Aberdeen, generally looked out for their score on a weekend since the mid-80s but got enough on my plate worrying about this club without a second one as well.

Good lad...
I struggle with the red tho.

The dandies had Angus the Bull who came out to the same at one time.
Only high point of the game.
What a tune.

HERTHA BERLIN.

Like EFC, struggling bigtime.

 

[The Legend of Southall]

Burton Albion. If Everton keep playing like they do, it'll be my 1st team

Ah The Brewers. My local team. Though I'm not from here originally, so I have no love for this godforsaken, smelly dump of a brilliant little town

nope

Staunch Blue you Ter

Connahs Quay Nomads in the Welsh Premier league, supported them since I was a small kid as my Dad was on the Nomads committee. Done very well in the last few years,

Welsh Premier League winners x 2,
Welsh League Cup winners x 2,
Welsh Cup winners x 1,
Scottish Challenge Cup runners up,
Knocked Kilmarnock out of Europe which we found absolutely funny as Hell, as they were expected to put 10 goals past us. !!!

Unfortunately this season we suffered a 18 point deduction for playing a eligible player in 6 matches so dropped from in the top 3 down to the bottom 2 and a risk of relegation. Luckily we are have done well in our last 3 matches and despite still being 2nd from bottom we have closed the gap to the teams above us.

I follow O"Higgins in Chile - just because of their odd name - and of course Everton CD in the same top division.
Havant and Waterlooville - a mate used to live there and I've watched them a few times.
Salford - since that's my home town as a wee lad.
Swindon Supermarine - decent sports club down the road.... temporarily I was the first ever ladies rugby coach when their team started up and while they searched fir someone who knew what they were doing.

It goes without saying that every team I follow suffers a permanent collapse in form. Football, wherever in the world only brings abject misery or at its best mediocre dusapoointment to me it seems.

I often wonder whether I'm cursed when it comes to following football.

As a kid, I've had soft spots for, Swindon Town, Nottingham Forest, AC Milan, 1860 Munich and Rangers (I'm counting them, since they're technically a different club now). Since then, they have all suffered huge set backs or long periods of stagnation.

I propose a pact for me and you. If anything ever happens to Everton, we both start supporting Liverpool. Our sacrifice would be for the greater good...
