    Ashford Utd (nee Town!).
    Vancouver Canucks!! Coz I love NHL, I love Vancouver and my brother lives (relatively) close to this fine city. Bloody late nights on Premier Sports do me in though!!

    was in Vancouver yesterday - non-stop drenching rain :(

    But found out one of our suppliers has a box at Vancouver Whitecaps - so that's me sorted for a few games next season !!
    I wish I had a job that took me to Vancouver, fantastic place.

  • I don’t support another team as such, but noticed the other day that Real Sporting Gijon were founded on 1st June 1905 just 8 days before Charlton. They have a similar sized stadium, play in (mostly) red and white, whilst main rivals (Oviedo) play in blue and white.

    They tend to fluctuate between the divisions like us, they are currently fighting relegation, there’s a river nearby and flats at one end of the stadium - they could be our doppelganger club, spooky eh?

    I am a shareholder in Real Oviedo, they petitioned a few years ago for people to buy shares for the club to survive and thousands did, including Real Madrid and Carlos Slim, they also done it again last year and I bought 3 shares, so I am always hoping for them to do well, they're currently in their first season in Liga Adalente in years!

  • AIK Stockholm season ticket holder its an excuse for a beer

    I studied in Sweden for a few months back in 2007, and could see the 'Ah-Ee-Kor' stadium from my window, meaning that I have the mildest of soft spots for them.

    I also like Lazio. NO idea why, they don't seem like the most pleasant club. But I would always play as them on Fifa2002, and I still look out for their results now.

    I saw Lazio play AC Milan in 90 (just after the WC) Their fans are mental.

    Auckland City, my wife and I lived out there when Auckland City were formed in 2001. We attended all their home games and saw some away games and saw them win the inaugural New Zealand championship. They have since gone strength to strength winning numerous titles and taking part in the FIFA World Club Cup reaching the last four, two years ago. Not bad for a team that is only 15 years old this coming October.

    Also have a soft spot for the first team I was able to watch regularly when I was at school.....Welling United. Probably as frustrating team as Charlton can be. Currently looking like they will be relegated again this year. Was great to see titles won at Park View road back in the 80's (Nigel Ransom-legend) and seeing them lift the title a few years back.

    Think I've done this before, but.........

    Bournemouth: Grandad used to take me to Dean Court in the 70s, he lived in West Moors (Ringwood).
    East Stirling: Fed up with Rangers or Celtic questions......picked the bottom team in Scotland. Been twice. Loved it.
    Dulwich Hamlet: Again, Grandad, he helped build part of the ground in the 1930s.



    K Sint-Truidense VV. If only because of the way they accepted us, and, seriously we had no grief at all.
