Barrow for me.
Always respected the miles their away fans put in, particularly in their non-league days.
And whenever I've attended their games as an away fan, it's always been fun: they don't seem to take it too seriously and laugh at themselves.

Both Bristols are vile.

FGR for me, because of their leftie credentials.

I think it's often reciprocated - we always look forward to the Orient awayday, but beyond that I don't know why either

Not got a soft spot for anyone else, but I do keep an eye out for those clubs who's fans have a second club in us, like you.

I went to Cardiff 1967 I think, to watch Wales v England. I was very surprised at the amount of Rovers fans in Cardiff that day, they greatly outnumbered City fans. They were a very affable lot. Went to see Orient play the Gas in FA Cup in late 1990's I think. Not long after we had signed Matthew Lockwood. We greatly outplayed Rovers most of the match, but managed to loose 4-0. The BBC guy after the match couldn't believe that was the final score

Nice to hear from you, ESG!

Wasn’t there a stat that Orient have played B. Rovers more than any other team over the years? Could be mis-remembering that one, mind…

FGR have also signed young Regan Hendry who was Raith Rovers' talisman last year, and he's having a great start to his time with them. One to watch.

... And for me. No other team comes close.
If there was a thread for teams you hate, then I'd have a good few, but no second team for me just the o's

I moved to Bristol 20 years ago and needed a local team to follow. Rovers were the obvious choice - very much like Orient in their general ramshackleness. Went to Bristol City once but never again (except when Orient played there in our League 1 days).

I’d like to see Oldham do well. Went there years ago when they were Division 1 and we knocked them out of the fa cup - it was a freezing Tuesday night and they let the supporters coach into their club bar area and were really friendly and respectful.
Also, last season I thought they played really well down at our place.
As a proper club I fear for them this season

Newport County. I've lived just outside Newport since 1988, just as they were ceasing to exist. Their story has been a remarkable one and I was as delighted as full blooded County supporters when they returned to the Football League. By the way, Tommy Johnston played for them.

thank you slacker. I've had a few seasons off while our teams went their respective ways, but it is good to be back. I see there are still threads about Chorley, but haven't seen a mention of Jabo yet

and I seem to remember that stat too

losing by 4 goals v acquiring Lockwood. I think you won that period by a country mile

Always had a soft spot for the Gas. I used to live in Totterdown and worked at the BRI for years. I used to go to the Mem quite a bit when you had Lambert and Agogo up front. I'm afraid that right now I find it difficult to get behind them while they're managed by crazed egomaniac Joey Barton. I hope you get rid of him soon because I fear he'll cause untold damage otherwise.

you, me, and many among the rest of us too I'm afraid. Grim times

in addition, he's only getting 0.5 point per match over the last 24 or so and we still won't seem to get rid
