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.

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!

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 Cheesy )

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.

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!

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 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.
