How Bizarre!! I'm an avid Yeovil Town fan, have been for years... it is my home town and I was brought up a green and white :D

Also, I go up to St James Park now and again to watch Newcastle United, whilst I also venture over to the Netherlands to watch PSV Eindhoven. :)

Haven't been for a while but also enjoy going to watch East Stirlingshire in the Scottish 3rd division.

and you thought you were odd ;)

Arsenal (Premier)
Reading (Championship)
Exeter City (League one).... sorry Sam :-)
Worthing (Ryman 1 south)
Stenhousemuir (Scottish 2nd Division)

Arsenal I've supported since I was a kid. My brother-in-law supports Reading and we used to go and watch them play back in the 80's. Exeter are supported by the entire Brown family for no apparent reason. Worthing are my local team and I try to get to as many of their games as possible. Everyone has a Scottish team, usually Celtic or Rangers, I'm not a glory hunter and like to be a bit different!
One day I shall return!

QPR (Championship)
Kidderminster Harriers (Blue Square Premier)
St Mirren (SPL)

I feel somewhat lacking in not supporting a 'foreign' team. I suppose the closest I get would be my support for St Kilda in the AFL.

My main team's Gillingham, down in the doldrums of league one, because they're my local team and I've been going on and off for the last 15 years. I used to support Arsenal when growing up because at primary school they were the arbitrary team I picked - in the FA cup 3rd round in December 1999 I actually got to see an Arsenal game, decided I had much more fun at Priestfield and switched my allegiances. I still keep a look out for their scores and they're usually my chosen team on Fifa 10. I also keep an eye out for Ross County in the Scottish division 1 - chosen because they're the furthest team away from me without leaving this landmass - and Olympic Marseilles, because one of Gillingham's three famous ex-players (Tony Cascarino - the other two being Steve Bruce, and Marlon King who isn't famous for footballing reasons) used to play for them.

Soupy - Stenhousemuir?! The biggest rivals of my Scottish side, East Stirling. I actually work with an ardent Stenny fan, he pretty much travels up to Scotland every weekend to watch them, as well as being one of the webmasters for their official site. My reason for supporting the Shire is that everyone loves the underdog, so I started following their results when they were going through their absolutely diabolical seasons of winning around three games a season. Been up there a couple of times too, it's a good crowd.

My main team though is the mighty Dagenham and Redbridge. I can comment on almost everyone else above me through the Daggers too:

Waterloo and city - Morecambe away in our Conference play-off season (2003), semi-final, 2nd leg, is still one of my favourite ever away games - having won the 1st leg 2-1, going 2-0 down in the 2nd leg late on, thinking we were out of it until up steps Paul Terry to score from 25 odd yards, extra time and penalties ensue, Robbo our keeper getting hoisted on our shoulders following his penalty saving heroics.

Sam - Yeovil, don't think I really need to explain that one!

perkyperky - Oxford. Another of my favourite away games in our Conference winning season (oh, but wait, did Oxford have the league sown up by Christmas? ;)), a game with more emotions that I think I have ever felt in a single match. Also given one of my favourite football quotes by an Oxford fan - "If this was a boxing match, the referee would have stopped it by now. Conference champions = Oxford United." - posted by an Oxford fan on our forum around Christmas time when Oxford were about 14 points clear at the top of the table. How that quote got thrown back in his face!

Soupy - discussed Stenhousemuir above (I know, not a Daggers connection, though I have seen us play Exeter a fair few times over the years!)

al - Kidderminster away still provides the best goal I have ever witnessed - Paul Benson scoring from the corner flag, was truly amazing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pGWe8P23Nk

jamesthegill - please, please, please take Adam Miller back!!

Not a chance! We've got people stationed at the Dartford and Blackwall tunnels and at Ebbsfleet International in case you try and sneak him back across the border :D
