I'm hopefully going to the Brentford v Wolves game in a couple of weeks (could be tasty), my mate is mad Brentford so I have got a soft spot for them. Actually my only trip to the old wembley was to watch them lose in a play off final to Crew. The traveling for me is about the same as to get to spurs, the ticket will be cheaper, they're still a London club and the atmosphere should be good.
If you were going to watch a lower league team who would it be and why.

Last season I went with a mate to see Coventry lose 1 0 at home to Yeovil.

Cold day, Coventry better with ball on the deck, 11,000 attendance but Yeovil were all 6 foot 2 plus so won everything in the air.

Not a bad ground.

Which they don't even play in any more. Another example of a club fucked over by mismanagement at every single level.

Used to go see Brentford quite a lot 5-10 years ago with my mate, who was a massive fan. Stopped in the last few years though.

I occasionally go and watch Woking, as I live about a 20 minute walk from their ground. Not as a fan as such, just because I love the feeling of watching a proper game of football.

Millwall. I love a ruck me.

Been to a few games, as other half's family are all Millwall fans. Not as bad as you might think. The football was pretty shite and half the stadium was empty but I didn't ever feel threatened or feel like the fans are any worse than some of the knuckle-draggers we can get at the Lane.

To answer the OP, I go to the odd Orient game. Used to go a lot as a kid as a good friend of mine was a big O's fan.

No, never did. I was probably still in primary school!

My father-in-law does joke that half the fans have been banned anyway, hence the half empty stadium. Well, I say jokes...

Ha no seriously they are and in the nick. My manager used to be a landlord in Ipswich and had meetings with the old bill before match day. He asked them about the millwall lot coming up and they just laughed and told him most are in prison anyway.

I used to go to a lot of Hayes games, long before they became Hayes & Yeading FC. I'm talking about the glory years (day) when we beat Fulham in the FA Cup.



Haven't been for some time now though. Also used to get dragged to every home QPR match by an ex :mad:

Been to a few Bristol City games, as I live a 20 minute walk from their stadium. To be honest I couldn't give a flying fuck about Bristol City, and most of their fans are window licking mutants.

Still...it's a good laugh watching them lose every game, then going for drinks with my mates in the nearby pubs.

Used to live close to the Bristol Rovers stadium too. Unfortunately I never went to any of their games, which is a shame as I quite like them.

Used to go to Barnet a fair bit in the heady days of the late 90's. Great laugh and terraces with a tiny fence and about two stewards separating you from the away fans. Those were the days. Also Watford and Chesham as a nipper.

Is that because you're from there or because you like the fact it has **** in the name? No disrespect meant just interested :)

Partly because I like how S****horpe appears on forums and partly because my mum sneaked me into the 3rd division play off final they were in.
