In Shaken's Honour.....Who is your 2nd team?

by blueboy Wed Nov 13, 2013 6:11 pm

They can be a lower division team you follow, non-league, a team you liked when you were pre-City......whatever the reason. But add why you follow them or their results.

Obviously we have Wensdi and Shaken with SW and Bury...but why?

ME - 2 teams really.....I always look out for Ross County and East Fife.

Now.....East Fife. Remember those scratch off football cards that the pubs/legions etc use to pop round on an evening, Sunday etc....my old Nan used to always get me to write her name - Edith, on East Fife...she was Scottish.....and a lucky bugger.

Ross County - in the mid 90's, a few friends from my local pub (Robin Hood) in Hazel Grove, used to have a place near their ground....and I took a then GF up there to stay. We went to watch a match and there must have been 250 people there...but the banter in the pub afterwards was brilliant....and from then on....they've always been my second team....and look where they are now!!!! cheers

Wow, i'm wellin up here blue Sad

For some reason I've always looked out for Alloas results in Scotland.....absolutely no idea why, but they have yo-yo'd like I don't know what for the last10yrs or so....they're doin ok at the minute though.

I'm always interested in Oldham's results because I lived there for many years.

Bloody Hell PPLF same as me. Lived in Macclesfield till I was 11. I actually played for Macc Town Under 11s back in the day. Went quite a lot in the previous non-league days.

Being a sweaty sock though (came to Macc when an impressive 12 months old) I also follow Hearts being from just outside Edinburgh and the like.

by blueboy Wed Nov 13, 2013 7:02 pm

I had a spell of following Stockport County....only because all the guys in my local supported County and City....so as mentioned earlier in a post....followed them through all the Cup rounds, Chesterfield etc to the Semi's against Boro...."Super, Super Kev"....great times...County and Grimsby away for City...

Moved to Holmes Chapel in 79 so only went to the odd few games after that. Moved to that London in 87 and closest team there was original Wimbledon. Went there quite a bit just for the crack when not playing football. But I carried on playing Saturday Football into my early 30s. Just old and FAT now though elephant

Radcliffe......shagged a great girl from Radcliffe.....must've been 88/89. She was very posh....worked with my best mate from Burnage. His then GF worked with them as well. As you do....night out, trying to fix up some rough arse Wythy lad with this posh bird.

Anyway, night in Manchester went well at Lloyd's and Brahms n List....I was staying at my mates parents house. We all walk his GF home, around the corner from his house....get back to his. She's supposed to be staying with her friend, but comes back with me.

After he goes to bed.....we're downstairs...and .......you know.......

I walk her home to her friends house....get back to my mates and go to sleep in his room.

Next morning.......I come down stairs for breakfast.......only to find that his old man had found her knickers behind 'his' cushion, on his favourite chair!

He holds them up in front of his wife, me, my mate, his sister and his younger brother....and asks "who's are these?"

Radcliffe.....happy days!!!

Originally from New Moston, moved to Bury when I was about 13, now living in Prestwich. Only moved here last year but I'll be moving back to the city centre soon. You know, young bachelor and all that.

Oldham and Bury were the nearest to local teams where I grew up in Middleton, so I always look to see how they are doing. Now my local team is Partick Thistle so I have a soft spot for them rather than the old firm, can't be bothered with their baggage really.

Christ, I go away for a couple of hours and a perfectly innocent thread turns into a smutfest Shocked

Anwyay, I've always kept a keen eye on Oldham. I was born and raised there, which isn't the reason in itself, but I did have a mate who supported them and I used to go to matches with him back in the late 80s. I went all the way to Wembley with them to watch the ill-fated League Cup final against Forest, but the weirdest was the FA Cup semi at Maine Road, the only time I went there to not watch City! The last Latics match I saw was the friendly we played against them last season, but the last competitive match was the last game of the 89/90 season when they were promoted as second division champions. Most likely something Wensdi won't appreciate very much!

And yet, very weirdly, I also have a bit of a soft for Wednesday, having lived in Sheffield for a few years as a student. I shared a house with an Owl for two years and he HATED the Blades. I told him I was a City fan and his response was class: "Well, that's two of us that hate fookin' United then!"

Ah, you weren't the only one. And I'm only jealous, the only thing I ever got in Radcliffe was lost.

Although my old school is called Radclyffe. Never shagged anyone there either, mind.

I ate breakfast with the whole family with her knickers draped across my shoulder.....didn't dare move them after his dad put them there....he wasn't the kind of guy I wanted to upset as an 18 yr old.....just had to sit there with them smirking at me....whilst I ate my Cornflakes.
