Just wondering who out of the posters on here have a 2nd or "big" team who they also support? and why? Always been curious as to the reasons people have for supporting 2 teams. |  |
| Days like this one weren't supposed to happen to Rochdale. |

Since I was in about year 4 Ive supported Ajax as a second team. My dad got me an Ajax bag for school and from there I took an interest. Helps now that I work for a dutch company!
I also look out for Reading/Evertons/Ipswich results - Reading I have no clue why, just really like them as a team. Everton, again not sure really like the way they dont always splash the cash and I like David Moyes. Ipswich, the first team I ever played on champ man, I also loved Finidi George simply for his name. |  | | |

My first team is Rochdale, as its my local team, have done since I was about 12/13. In England I have Ipswich as my second team, ever since they defied the odds and got into europe their 2nd year in the Premierleague bout 10 or so years ago, liked the way they played, thought "I'll see how they do in europe" that was it, now its a life sentance. I follow Bayern in europe too, have done for many years, cant really remember how it started. I understand how people can have other teams, often its hard to explain why, just something happens that makes you follow them. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Don't support any other teams but have a soft spot for Man C, Arsenal, Saints, QPR, Wolves to name but a few for various reasons. |  |

I come from a family of staunch Man Utd fans but feel no affinity to that team whatsoever. Dale only for me.
I have a soft spot for Wolves for no other reason than I always go them on Champ Manager/Football Manager.
In Scotland Morton would be my team, if I had to pick one, because I got to know fans, players, back room and boardroom folk through my first job up here. |  |

I support 2 teams.
Rochdale and Accrington Stanley.
When Stanley were in the lower reaches of non-league (about ten years ago) whenever Dale were away, my dad and I would go and watch Accrington, simply to watch local football. Then it turned into going to Stanley whenever Dale weren't playing (it was fantastic to watch such a famous club achieve promotions and football league status) we would go and watch Accrington.
I find it incredibly strange when Dale play Stanley, because I'm used to rooting for both teams! Its gone from going just to watch football, to going a good few times a year, and proudly owning a Accrington shirt.
Whenever I stand in the Sandy Lane, and someone round me is checking football scores, I will ask for how Stanley are doing.
My first club is Dale, but I'm proud to say my second team is Accrington Stanley. | |

I presumed England would go without saying.
Spurs are my 'second team.' My Dad was a Spurs fan until I started dragging him to Dale, and I really like the way they play the game and the history of the club. Never been to The Lane but been to quite a few away games
Would never ever be a contest if it was between Dale or Spurs though, Dale every time. |  |

United are my 2nd team, due to my dad being a ST-holder there for about 20 years, and me growing up with that influence. Went to OT quite a few times growing up but aged about 15 I started going to watch Dale. It was only then that I learnt what it is to truly fall in love with a football club.
As for foreign clubs, Palermo or Atalanta, as they're my Football Manager teams. |  | | |

Thought Peterborough might be your second side Tazbot. I believe you might be down there on Saturday instead of watching the Dale. Is that true? And what's happened to last Saturday's away day review at Southend? |  | | |

Have you taken in a game in Sunderland, having been up there? always looked a cracking ground, I'd imagine would be a great atmosphere. | |

Yeah, been to quite a few Sunderland games. The ground is excellent, can't fault it. I've been to around 8 or 9 games, and the atmosphere is not what I thought it would be. When they beat Blackburn at home last season (O'Neill's first game in charge) the fans were incredible for the last 10 minutes or so. Other than that, largely disappointing. Plan to visit St.James in the next couple of months. | |

After Dale my second team are Newcastle, after going to Uni up there in 1998 I had access to a season ticket for the games and they have stuck with me ever since. As far as foreign teams go I always look out for SV Hamburg results after a stag weekend over there earlier this year which involved a SV game vs Bremen. Later in the weekend we took a trip to St Pauli FC to look at the ground and went to the local pub, the team photo in the boozer from a few years ago featured a certain Moriki Sako (whose face had been removed). |  | | |

St James park looks amazing, an Im sure if you wore anything black and white an walked near the pitch you'd get a standing ovation. | |

Dale first and only, but always look out for Inverness CT due to spending a bit of time there, and of course Adelaide Crows in the AFL, possibly Adelaide United ,but live too far away to really get interested in them. | | | |

I grew up in a family of City and Liverpool fans (with the odd United fan).
Aged about 8 or 9, I wanted a team of my own. That was the season of the great escape, so for some reason I thought the Dale would be a good team to follow and it's stuck. Living over this side for most of my life, I enjoy the puzzled looks when people hear who I support.
Still look out for City and Liverpool's results and wish them well, but that's about it - would never say I supported them, I'm more of a "sympathiser"!
Keep meaning to go to see Goole more often too - my local team nowadays. They play Salford (hometown) around Christmas time I think, so might do that. |  | | |

Dale first and foremost and always will be but I do occasionaly go to Man City.. The big money side of things is putting me off now though!
Always had a soft spot for Leeds too for some reason... |  |
