No Fixed Abode Shouldn't this thread be titled - which other team do you support apart from Reading?


Go on then NFA - which team do you support apart from Reading?

I went to school in Wolverhampton and a lot of my mates are Wolves fans, so it would be them I guess. A lucky escape!!

Stuboo For me it would be a choice between the three below.

Slough Town - If I was to choose a team based on where I grew up (oh dear)
Brentford - If I was to choose a team based on who my Dad supports
Tottenham - If I was to choose a team based on which team I liked most as a kid

What about you?

If it was my place of birth then Chester, or maybe Tranmere.

My dad was born in Dunfermline but moved to Hammersmith as a wee bairn so has a soft spot for Fulham so probably them. My mum's Irish and from a family heavily involved in the GAA so football wouldn't get a look in.

Partick Thistle all through my teenage years in Glasgow in the 70's. It was a lot safer than Rangers/Celtic, and there were always lots of spliffs to be had on the terraces. All the cool kids supported Theeeeeee-sell.

If I hadn't moved away 40 years ago I'd probably still be going there.

Fulham as parents watched them in Johnny Haynes era. Pompey maybe as lived there for a spell, Chelsea when I was a kid.

But Royals all the way really.

I was born in Middlesbrough - so possibly them.
I lived in North London for a few years, my Dad was an Arsenal fan and took me to a few games - so possibly them.
I lived in Luton for a few years and went to see a few games. I still have a soft spot for them, and was probably the only person outside of Luton who was disappointed when Wimbledon beat them in the play-off final a few years back.

But the only team I am passionate about is Reading and that won't change.

Villa. Nicely inoffensive, reasonably accessible and generally obscurely mid table at the top level.

I have two daughters who live in Barcelona so I get to Camp Nou as much as to the Mad Stad. So it has to be Barca for me.

I'd probably watch a bit of local non-league football, but I can't imagine watching another team regularly, or taking an interest in one.

Probably stevenage as I spent most of my Adult life there. Was Liverpool at primary school, purely just to piss off the plastic Mancs!

Everton probably due to connections. Failing that, Tottenham or Bournemouth

Plenty of those when I was at school. Suprisingly saw one of them the other day, donning a Man City shirt with Tevez on the back :lol:

I wonder if they'll ever support Reading if we become the best team in the country

Tottenham. Reason.Many years ago whilst in the military I went to see them play Blackpool (Stanley MATHEWES) era, the place was bursting to capacity .but someone saw me and took me to an empty seat in the main stand. Fantastic treatment for me for me. real friendly

Man United possibly, because of family, and I did support them when I was very young.

Ipswich Town are also a possibility, lived about 20 mins away from there for about 6 years, lovely place to live imo.

And lastly probably a team like Ajax, or Dortmund, just because I was an outcast..

My dad is a Wolves fan as is my sister so probably them. I was at their match with Crystal Palace last night, any excuse to watch a free game of football.
