Just wondering like.

Me, I'm only Oxford

Purely Swindon. In fact I hate every other club and those who support them.

I don't understand this second team thing. Surely if you "support" two clubs you don't really support either. Where's the true allegience.

Do you find that a lot of people will ask you what Premiership team you support even though you've allready said you’re a Swindon fan?

Yeah and I tell from to fuck off i'm Swindon. I refuse to talk to anyone about football who have never or very rarely been to live games. It winds me up so much. I wish they would all fuck off back to their armchairs and shut the fuck up.

I don't like any other teams but go to watch Villa occasionally.  I am Swindon through and through I am afraid

Hibs are my Scotland team, but as I've only been up there a couple fo times I can hardly say I'm a real supporter.  Just want them to do as well as they can do.  As for English clubs, not a chance, Swindon only for me.  People who have premiership sides are sad glory hunters.

I support Swindon but do follow Yeovil a bit,go a couple of times a year.Place of birth and first club I ever saw live though I will be supporting Swindon against them next year.
I also follow Spurs to a small extent though its pretty half arsed.

I follow Real Madrid, as in I've seen pretty much all of their games this season. I suppose I'm a supporter, but nowhere near as hardcore/fanatic as I am with Swindon. Also keep an eye on lots of teams results, Donny before they got promoted, Barnet (hello Graz), Oxford ;p

Have a passing obsession with Everton as well - I was born up there, but moved down to Swindon when I was young. Thankfully before I picked up any hint of an accent.  Going up to see them play Birmingham in a few weeks.

But, am Swindon when it comes to the push - although it was tough when we played them in the cup a few years ago!!!

Comparitively I should point out I've seen most of Swindon's home games this season, and only 3 Everton.

Swindon till I die, I have been to watch arsenal a lot but wouldnt call myself a supporter.  I enjoy all games including conference football, use to go watch st albans alot when I lived up that way.

Most proudest fortnight of my life was in portugal last year getting asked who you run with 'swindon and im proud' was my answer got a fair few handshakkes for being a fan not a number.  Fuck supporting utd, id rather sit at home knocking one out than support a load of pompus twats.

Rant Over

I always look out for Spurs results, and see them a few times a year.  When i was 8 i loved Gazza, my family were Spurs, and then they won '91 FA Cup - as a little kid, that impressed me so it stuck.

It is far more satisfying following avidly your local hometown team, even if they do piss you off immensely.

I also follow spurs.  Mainly as a result of my dad who is a Spurs fanatic.  I always supported them as a kid cause of my dad but when i was old enough to start watching Swindon it all changed.  I still go and wtach them a few times a season with my old man.  It such a better day out than the shite we have to endure!  The whole atmosphere is a millions times better even at 10 in the moning when having breakfast in the  hotspurs cafe!

yido

Dad's have got a lot to answer for I reckon.  Imagine the next generation of the TEF.  They'll be slating all of us lot.

True, im working on my nephew his old man is saying he will be liverpool but we will see, put it this way my sister works for me so if she says I cant take him to the town she will be sacked......

what is it with flido's.  My boyfriend is a flid and I hate going to watch them play.  I would rather bite off my own fingers

I follow Spurs too. Not that strongly though, I was also impressed by the 1991 fa cup and they played great football with gazza and lineker and boring boring Arsenal had lots of tosser fans.

This thread has depressed me a little, a lot of people seem to have feelings for other rival clubs.  Whether they're in our league or not.  We are in direct competition with other english clubs and people have affiliations with other clubs  - sick

ive been bought up to support Swindon and Liverpool by my dad. He's supported Swindon since he was a boy but his dad has always supported liverpool so he carried it on.
However do look out for alot of clubs but would never call myself a fan. for example going to see forest for the 3rd time this season in a couple of weeks but when we play them there will be no doubt im swindon.

sick  sick

It's getting worse.  One man, one club.

Dont get me wrong if anyone asks who i support without a shadow of a doubt i say swindon.

I agree.

Part time fans.

Now wait for the I'm a season ticket holder shouts to come right back at me.

To be honest I'm surprised that so many people have links with other clubs, When the national scores are read out at The Kassam there's allways a lot of cheering booing, especially for Man Ure, Chelsea etc.

Although I thought people on here would be more likely to be only Swindon

Hmm a part time fan whose travelled miles and miles this season, who works for the club and has been supporting them since i was 3.

How can anyone support 2 football clubs.

surly you can only support 1 club at a time.
anyone says to me who do you support it's a one team answer - Swindon.
i enjoy watching other teams play on TV etc but i don't support them. (unless an english club in europe)

what also gets me is when you see people turning up to football wearing fucking Manure shirts etc but have never seen them play.

all wankers i tell ya. :evil:

Shut it youve been sussed! Put it this way when you cut yourself what colours your blood....exactly red as in red army and that is what I am!

Yeah lets oust them!

I knew i'd wind someone up. Fair play to you then Marie. There's not that many of us who put the miles in every week.

If anyone asks me what team i support the answer is always swindon... no doubt about it but the fact that i know all about another club, am happy when they win, unhappy when they lose, go to watch them play when i can surely means that i can support two clubs??

If anyone asks me who I support it's Swindon but there are teams I like to see do well and teams I don't.

Anyway Jan there's always the chance we'll one day meet Hibernian in the uefa cup.

Next people on here will be wanting 2 votes at the election!

I'm Swindon through and through...  even if it does mean going to matches on my own because my glory-hunting, Arsenal 'supporting' mates can't be arsed to support their home town team as well.

It was a simple choice for me because my Dad doesn't follow any form of sport so I didn't have any external influences / pressures when I was making my decision..

I'm manager of a bookies when i'm not at uni so a lot of my punters take an interest in Swindon now as well, even if it is just so they can mock me on a Sunday afternoon following a poor result!  :evil:

I keep an eye on Brighton results, looking forward to them coming down next season.. I'm looking for some serious retribution!

On and off the pitch may I add! little pikeys starting on the old folk after the game at their place

I only properly support one club - Swindon. Although at times like this I do wonder why.

My second club would be Liverpool due to family links. I guess I was one of those annoying kids when I was young that had the shirt of the best and most sucessful club at the time.

That said I was better than most at that age. I had been to Anfield and had been pretty much forced into supporting Liverpool by my old man. I was converted after our first wembley visit when I realised how much I loved watching "live" football.

It depends on how you define "support" as to how you can support 2 teams. Realisticlly I SUPPORT Swindon, but FOLLOW Liverpools results. When we played them at Anfield in the premiership I stood in the away end and sung my heart out for the Brazillian lookalikes (Yellows, Yellows, Yellows - I loved that kit :D )

I was gutted when Barnes equalised with 5 minutes left, it would probablly have been the most famous STFC victory I'd ever seen live, play off games excluded.

i don't support any other teams apart from swindon. watching the play off against the batty boys in the student bar was class, loads of swindon fans to my surprise, shame about the result in the end

Precisely.  When we beat Spurs 2-1 in the Prem, i loved every minute of it!  

Swindon is the only club that i actually get emotional about.  If Spurs had lost against the Geordies i would have been peeved for all of 20 minutes.  When we lost against Brighton there were tears, and im not even over the Wallsall match now.

There were some Brighton 'faces' who were pretty fucking unhappy that I wore my Town shirt to work on the Saturday before the Swindon leg of the play-offs!
Luckily I was sat behind reinforced glass and metal bars!

If im honest and truthful I had tears after brighton but I was so pissed off.  I will never admit that in public

I did cry, I sobbed Stella tears for 2 hours after  :cry:

bloke wore a brighton shirt to college after second leg..didnt go down well. haven't seen him since i dont think.

Exactly PM.  I support Swindon but foloow spurs!  If anyone asks i am of course a Swindon and never even mention i follow spurs unless having this sort of convo!  It is probably cause it is something to do with the old man and is fun!  I don't see anything wrong with following anothe team at all!  It does not make me any less a Swindon fan!

i thought the batty boys were gonna kick off at first til 'that goal'. they were really hurling the abuse at us swindon lads

It did kick off a little outside!

I have never been so upset over Town losing as that night. Crystal Palace in 89 was gutting but Brighton was something else. So close yet so far. At Palace we were shit so it was easier to take.

Cant understand why people get so arsie about people having other clubs.Like Everyone has said its Swindon first and foremost and thats it.If people think its disloyal then let them think it I really couldnt give a shit what you think 8)

Let me get this straight... the same Janaage who has a Hibs badge as his avatar and has said that he may go and watch Calne at the weekend is telling everyone else they can't like other clubs?!

I support whoever's playing Man United and also look out for Cirencester's, Weymouth's and Forest Green's results.

Jam Tarts for me. Purely as a geographical thing. Swindon will always be my team, until I die.

I got to see 2 cup semi finals this season and 3 Uefa Cup matches with Hearts, but nothing beats going to the county ground to cheer on the reds!! Even if my only game was Port Vale at home!! Least we won! :wink:

Same as Edinburgh. I go and watch most Grasshoppers home games because you can't beat the atmosphere and excitement of live football. I can't just stand there and pretend that I don't care which team wins, so I would call myself a Grasshoppers supporter, but I don't follow them with anything like the same passion that I follow Swindon. It cheers me up for a couple of hours when they win, but no result would affect me the same way that the Brighton one did - and I wasn't even there!

Sweat, blood and tears for one team and one team only...

well mainly swindon, but follow Calne town too when im not watching Swindon

I look out for Bristol City results and have done as long as I can remember. I could have easily picked Brizzol C ahead of Swindon as a kid (family connections) but chose Swindon and never regretted it.

Having a glory premiership side and going to watch Calne, and hoping Hibs do well in Scotland isn't exactly the same kinda thing is it?  Blokes going in the CG with their Chelsea/Arsenal/Utd/Liverpool shirts and people who seem to have these sides as back ups, they're the ones I'm on about.  

Fucking hell if you couldn't see I was winding Marie up with my sick, you must be blind or drunk, or blind drunk.

Hi-bees til I die   :wink:

I've supported Chelsea ever since they got loads of money.

F*** off J1mmy   :wink:

and Gretna cos they bang em in

One words missing off the end of that, and thats 'cunt'.

grrrrr...

My heart lies with one team, and one team only.  Oxf*rd United.












































Does it fuck.

I often sympathise with the underdog as a neutral, but I can't even contemplate going to a game unless Swindon are involved.  I went to Reading vs. Sheff Weds this year which was an okay game, and was as  bored as fuck.

I look out for Cirencesters results, and I follow West Ham aswell.

Swindon are the only team I support.

Not since I was able to drive and thus get to Swindon games.

At School it was Man U. I stopped supporting them before they won the league. I suppose I'd still rather they won the prem league than anyone but that is hardly strongly supporting them. I still hate the red scousers though. Wierd.

Supporting two English football league teams is fucking stupid. Il never understand it. Yeovil Red  :face:

I'd say its virtually impossible as well!.When i was young and foolish i thought i could support both Man ure  :oops: and Swindon.But watching Man ure on the t.v ,buying the shirts,magazine,pencil case,toothbrush and all the other inconsequential crap couldn't compete with how it felt when i saw Swindon lose,oh the ache in my heart it would create,Man U stood no chance!

was talking to someone on my football team (henri camara DV85)
he claims to be an arsenal fan and said

'we're shit, absolute shit, unless we buy some good players in the transfer window i refuse to buy anymore of their merchandise'

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  and he was deadly serious

 :mrgreen:

did you play this morning dex? or yesterday or both?

played yesterday and my foot swelled up like a cunt at work last night so couldnt play today.

if we lost this morning we're bottom, i'm too scared to phone someone and find out.
you played pertemps this morning didnt you? one of our lot plays for them, he drove the minibus to c'feild.

some kid from royston called matt plays for us on saturdays now, he was left back and i was left wing, he played some lush balls up the line for me :clap:

Was gonna ask how Matt played, I work with the guy....

We lost 2-1, we were fn awful this morning....

I have only ever supported Swindon Town, and like to see Leeds do well so long as it does not affect us. I agree that football is boring unless you are supporting one of the teams mildly.
Sometimes I go to watch Blackpool games which is fine because I just support whichever team is trying to get the result that Swindon need!

how things can change...

not been following any teams results this season, as it stands my whole life is secondary to our relegation battle - especially other football teams.

don't think i've even watched a whole game on telly this season either.

Same here...

different here, ive watched nearly 7/8 calne games this season.

Yep I follow arsenal in europe and spend loads of money traveling to europen away game!

I was always been partial to watching the Blades every now and again although haven't done for a while now.  

Not really more than a passing interest and wouldn't go out of my way mind.

Used to be slightly partial to Rubbish & Dustbins as well but really only due to the fact I used to win a fair bit of cash backing them.

A further thought occours to me. If Reading go up there will be premiership footy on my doorstep. Now I couldn't care less about Reading and might pop along occasionly to see a game if Town are away.

Does that make me bad?
