Watching another team 14:32 - Sep 10 with 2535 views | aston_hoop | Following on from the Clapton thread, does anyone else regularly get along and watch football elsewhere? Of course QPR will always be the only team for me but to get my football fix this season, I've bought myself a season ticket at my local team Real Mallorca. €75 for the privilege of second flight football for a season in Spain sounded like a great idea but after the first game, the quality was almost non-league. | |

Often wander down to the local park to watch Sunday league games, great entertainment!! | |

Watching another team on 15:34 - Sep 10 with 2459 views | ballbag | Watched a bit of North Greenford United v Rushden and Diamonds last weekend. Rushden actually brought quite a few (around 30) and sang throughout most of the game. What on earth happened to them? I remember seeing us scrape a 1-0 win against them at Loftus Road only 10 years ago. | | | |
Watching another team on 16:00 - Sep 10 with 2422 views | cyprusmel | I watch Foinikas in the Cyprus 4th division they play at Ayia Marina near Polis, they were relegated along with my other team last season. Glory hunter that's me. | | | |
Watching another team on 16:51 - Sep 10 with 2376 views | WestonsuperR | Watch Bristol Rovers and Weston-Super-Mare (Conf South) a few times each season but not a regular. I did go to the Conference Play-Off Final last season though so but of a Rovers glory hunter! | | | |
Watching another team on 17:30 - Sep 10 with 2353 views | Northernr | Used to see lots of Scunny and Grimsby midweek when I was based in the north, and barnet when they played in barnet when I first moved here, but not any more sadly. | | | |
Watching another team on 17:34 - Sep 10 with 2345 views | NW5Hoop | I go to watch Wingate and Finchley (Ryman Premier) a fair bit, cos a friend follows them and it's near home and I can drink beer beside the pitch. Always try to catch a foreign game on holiday - this year it was Nantes v Guingamp. Dreadful game. | | | |
Watching another team on 17:38 - Sep 10 with 2342 views | ElHoop | Haven't been a Wealdstone regular since the Lower Mead days - now sadly Tesco - but the Stones have survived through sheer bloody mindedness so I get along once every new monarch. The ground may change but the fans don't - hopefully they can settle in Ruislip now. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Watching another team on 19:05 - Sep 10 with 2293 views | kropotkin41 | I've been to see Carmarthen Town a few times. The chips are good; the tea is awful. Attendance is pretty poor but I've seen some quite entertaining games. Y Dre' (The Town) fell away in the latter half of last season and the WPL has this stupid split thing going on. Even without the split TNS pretty much go every season unbeaten and have the league sown up as the only professional outfit around. Seeing TNS play at Richmond Park (Carmarthen) was amazing. I think at the time it was 1st against 3rd or 4th, but the difference was huge...... pace and fitness mainly. Even when TNS went down to 10 men, they always looked like winning. | |

Rushden & Diamonds wentt bust a few years ago and had to start again as AFC. Had to look that one up and discovered that Marcus Bignot played for us twice, either side of a stint at Rushden. I don't remember that at all, but I do remember the only goal he scored for us, a peach of a curler from the edge of the area as we beat Bury 3-0. | |

Watching another team on 14:00 - Sep 11 with 2084 views | BedfordR | I go over to Germany a couple of times a season to watch Borussia Dortmund. Always feels like that is what football should be and what we are missing out on here. | | | |
Watching another team on 14:23 - Sep 11 with 2067 views | hoopstilidie | Pop in occasionally to see Mansfield Town as they are just up the road from where I live these days. Generally try to catch some lower/non league football wherever I end up living on my nomadic travels (Curtailed since the mid 90s). | |

Watching another team on 14:35 - Sep 11 with 2057 views | 1MoreBrightonR | Used to watch Lewes occasionally when i was in Brighton but now I'm back in London (clapton actually), I've stopped going to any non league. Loved the fact that you could drink in the stands at Lewes and they had a beer of the month. | | | |
Watching another team on 15:14 - Sep 11 with 2044 views | hopphoops | Three times on an early November birthday awaybreak we've sloped along to a Europa League group game; twice the away team has been Besiktas and all three times the home team has gone on to win it (Atletico, Porto, Seville). | |

Watching another team on 15:18 - Sep 11 with 2031 views | Bluce_Ree | I went to a few Sutton matches. I felt like I was becoming less of a person every time I was there. Shit football, weird fans who think they are mates with the players, players who won't ever amount to shit. It's the difference between seeing your fave band at a legit venue or seeing a bunch of acoustic c*nts playing folk shit at an open mic night. Having endured it, I'd now rather replace my eyes with hot bees than deal with that shit any more. | |

Watching another team on 17:24 - Sep 11 with 1980 views | PlanetHonneywood | Well the years have seen me move around a lot and generally, I find it hard to get any real motivation to watch other teams and think, if you're not going to watch you're own lot, then why waste the afternoon watching some other dross. That said, living in Manchester for several years, I went to see City a few times. I felt they shared the same ability as us to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory. That and sometimes, Kinkladze was just sublime to watch. I also used to go an watch a lot of footy in Phnom Penh, because there was little or no diving, play acting and cheating. Which, given the country's propensity for corruption, was a refreshing change. | |
