Wolverhampton Wanderers (obviously ) I was born and raised in Wolves and started going to games just to annoy my mum (who hated the idea of going to a football match), I got addicted and it has carried on from there. I have to pick my matches these days due to living in Peterborough although I normally make all the Derbies, especially against the TCB's.

Celtic

Born and lived in the east end of Glasgow for 27 years. Used to sit on the steps at home and listen to the crowd when I was a little kid.

Ah yes, dear old West Brom. My favourite thing to say to an WBA supporter: "Steve Bull. 65 grand. Ta very much." thumbup

They did give us bit of a spanking a couple of weeks ago though. Tip: don't follow a game at work using BBC live text. Your co-workers start to wonder why you keep shouting "bcensoredks!" every half-hour or so.

Nottingham Forest and Mansfield Town.
I'm from between Nottm and Mansfield so I used to go to both, went to my first Forest game aged two.
I have a Forest season ticket but don't get there as often as I'd like 'cos I play.
You gotta support your local team!!!

Haven't been for a while. I got a bit peed off when they put seats in the jungle and didn't go back for a while. Work keeps me out the country these days and getting to games is difficult.

I ended up following Scotland through Europe for a few years until some Lithuanian hotel ripped off my credit card and Bertie destroyed the team. I could only take so much!!! Oh the days of sitting in a kilt in the Moroccan side of the stadium whilst we get humped 3-0 cloud9

soz you the same age? He was still pretty good mates with Bazza upto his death. Didnt he sign him for hemel hempstead when he was manager there. We actually got to play on Barnets pitch when we were about 13 when he was manager there. Was great for us at that age. His Dad Frank was a great guy too was involved with a local club i used to play for that Bazza started out from.

Rangers - Was born in Govan (well 3/4 of a mile from Ibrox), and I would have been an orphan if I chose any other team.

My 1st game was Ian Durrants comeback reserve game at Ibrox, sat in the old wooden seats in the Main Stand, and my mother took binoculars to stare at Greame Souness's legs..rolleyes

Also for those who know Glasgow - there was no way I was supporting the Ants!

Arsenal - Moved to North London from Bedford when I was about 9, then simply had to make a choice between the Gunners and Spurs as I lived pretty much equal distance between the 2... Good choice me thinks!

LIVERPOOL. my parents lived about 3 miles from Anfield, even though i'm now in London i still feel very much at home up there. i first went when i was 12 and 26 years on i still get excited on match days especially home games.

the Kop isnt quite the same since it became all seater in 1994 but there's still nothing to compare to the roar on european nights.....ask Chelsea fans

I'm really enjoying supporting Pompey right now........not because they are third in the premiership, but because my colleague who has the desk next to me is a scummer

So, Mate, how was your weekend? We beat Everton, how did your lot get on?

Watford - I was born next to the ground!

I'm a season ticket holder and try to get to as many away games as my wallet allows.

Having moved around a little bit in recent years I have always adopted my local non league. So far those have been Shepshead Dynamo, Hinckley United and currently Rothwell Town who play at the end of my street.
